How to
Do Wah Wah Effects for the Electric Guitar
By
eHow Arts & Entertainment Editor
That
distinctive wah-wah of the electric guitar first became popular in the
1960s. It was something Eric Clapton, and, the guitar king, Jimi Hendrix
made famous. The good news is that you don't have to be either Eric Clapton
or Jimi Hendrix to do the wah-wah yourself. All you need is an electric
guitar, a guitar effect foot pedal and some gumption. Get crying, baby!
Things You’ll Need:
Make the first part of the wah-wah
by stepping down on the foot pedal with your toe. This makes the
open "ah" sound.
Step on the foot pedal with your
heel to make the second part of the wah-wah. This makes the "whoo"
sound.
Put the two sounds together to get
the wah-wah effect.
Vary the spaces in between the two sounds. You
can play the open "ah" sound then the "whoo" slowly, in a
syncopated
fashion, or you can speed it up so the two sounds are closer
together.
Use the wah-wah in blues, funk or
even metal.
Experiment with the different
effects and ways of playing the wah-wah. Add it to whatever song
you like, and let your own imagination be your guide. Remember
this: if it sounds cool, it can't be wrong.
