9 Ways to Use a Wah Pedal 

“To wah, or not to wah, that is the quest-tone.” -Kirk Hamlet

Do not be fooled this is not a wah video!! This is a video to show off his new shoes

"The wah is probably the most recognizable guitar effect." Distortion/ Overdrive: "Am I a joke to you?"

10. Showing off your new balances

Nice shirt.

0:54 Well someone obviously watched "Dave Grohl Proves You Don't Need Lessons to Rock"

What is Kirk hammets favorite Nintendo character ? *Wah Luigi*

Auto-wah. Not just the capital of Canada.

**insert overused kirk hammett joke here**

1.The Kirk way 2.The Hammett way 3.The Kirk Hammett way 4.The Metallica lead guitarist way 5.The way when Kirk Hammett goes crazy 6.Using various wah pedals like Kirk Hammett 7.The Kirk Hammett way another time 8.Using it to get feedback 9.I don't know more I think.... oh wait Using a Mini Wah Pedal to control a Wah Pedal

Gimme your best wah joke I know you have one

Plot twist : Tyler actually made this video to show off his new sneakers.

*Kirk Hammett has joined the chat*

Number 10: the Cliff Burton. Basically using a similar amount of wah as Kirk but if you take away the wah it still sounds cool as hell.

Why am I watching this at 4:34 in the morning... I don't even play guitar.

Meme or not, the Kirk hammett signature crybaby is one of the coolest looking pedals ever.

Who needs a wah pedal... I have a 3-year-old brother

That was actually a very good video for me. I never used a wah. Dont have one in fact. I guess I need to go to the music store to get one. Really like those pinched harmonics with the wah. And it will certainly gives a new flavour to the music I usually do. Thanks for this video.

9 ways? 1. Foot 2. Knee 3. Hand 4. Elbow 5. Head 6. Stick 7. Guitar 8 . Another Wah pedal 9. Your Wife Bonus. 10. A Baguette

One of my favourite uses for wah is on Dance Little Liar by Arctic Monkeys. Alex uses a wah in conjunction with a quick echo with medium amount of repeats. While playing the note he pulls back on the wah and mutes the note, making a cool raygun type effect. Give the track a listen and you'll see what I mean.

You didn't mention one that I personally love - using the wah as a step filter. Play a short, measure-long riff multiple times, but each time step up the wah slightly so it builds up. Great for taking a turning what would otherwise be a simple or uninteresting riff into something dynamic and cool.

You did this whole video without playing voodoo child 😱😱😱😱😭😭😭😭

Starting at 12:30 that solo sounded insane. Nice job Tyler loved the vid!

There's only Porn wah, Hendrix wah, and Kirk wah.....

Quick tip, try using a bass wah if you like drop tunings

"Most recognizable effect" Distortion: am I a joke to you?

Really liked everything about the song at the end. Wah pedal on bass is much fun, too.

This video sponsored by Kirk Hammett.

Says "As a fixed position filter" Doesn't play money for nothing...

**insert joke about inserting wah jokes here here**

This was such a helpful video. I’m surprised with how limited wah pedal use videos have been in starting my wah journey. Thank you!

Another great video Tyler, from down here in New Zealand, that solo at the end was killer

Damn, I'm not usually the biggest fan of your playing, but this last segment was tasty as hell, very well produced and very clean aswell. I really liked it!

Dude I think you just activated a Brian May sound @ 10:27

I too wear New Balance shoes. They come in wide sizes as well, which makes them very comfortable. In regard to the wah pedal, I really enjoyed listening to this. I just got a wah pedal for Christmas, but haven't yet dived into giving it a full tryout. After watching this video, I was inspired to start working with it more. I have never said this about anyone's guitar sound before, but I heard a hint of Gary Richrath in some of the harmonic sounds. Gary was an underrated guitar player for REO Speedwagon, from 1970 thru 1989. He used to get some very good harmonics on some of their songs. RIP - Gary, you were one in a million!

That solo gave me goosebumps all the fuck over. The tone and that feeling, it blew me away. I have to watch it again.

I was waiting for you to use the wah as a filter with the toe down a la Tom Morello. He uses it like that in the verses of Bulls on Parade for “more menace” & in both Born of a Broken Man & Cochise as sort of a lo-fi “tinny” effect so when the riff drops back in, it’s immense! 🤘🏻

Thought he was about to start playing Riveria Paradise at 4:27 lmao

so dramatic at the end i love it you’re an awesome guitar player and i love these channel thank you for the wah tips the last song was freaking awesome

Just bought a Fulltone Clyde Deluxe Wah an I’m really loving it. It sounds amazing with a fuzz.

2. Fixed Position, you should have played the opening riff from Money for Nothing by Dire Strait.

Kirk Hammet comments are the best in this video i've ever wah-tched :v

Great vid! Very useful!! Waiting for my first wah pedal to arrive.. getting set. Tremendous!

the guitar in the end shred session is absolutely beautiful

"Everyone is gay" - kurt cobain

12:25 SHIT HITS HARRRRRDDDDD A song hasn't made me feel this way in a long time!!!

Thanks for the video! I really liked the trick with the harmonics, I love those squealies

amazing stuff man, keep the killer content coming

For some nice “robot sprinkles", hear the live version of Joe Satriani’s Hordes of Locust, on his Dreaming #11 EP.

0:21 when u fail ur test

thanks for showing us that robo slide harmonic ive heard it before and wondered about it. Great video man and great sounds

Incredibly good vid ... sounds so dull, but you show a 52 year old newbie like myself how to use these things! I humbly offer my gratitude!

I have a dime bag Darrell cry baby it has some interesting built in effects, nothing over the top but I was definitely made for the intention of having more sustain and harmonics At first I didn't really like the pedal because I think it is the only actual Dunlop crybaby that has other knobs on it. It even has a boost button on the side that (somehow) you can click with your foot.

kirk hammett jokes incoming

mann your channel deserves millions of subscribers! you’re awesome

Super video man. Thanks! I really liked thinking of the guitar as a percussive instrument and am implementing this into my practice routine.

nice tips.plz teach how to reach wah pedal level of sweet child mine.

This is very cool wow everyone that I have shown is very impressed

I was just a moment ago having a mental block on writing a new solo and then I watch this and now I am so inspired. Killer solo dude.

I've been meaning to say this for a few videos now, but you usually sport very cool shoes. Lol. Love your actual content too. Keep them coming

By this point we should just call Wah the Metallica Effect Haha. Wah is definitely one of the most beloved (but also probably loathed) guitar effects there is, so I salute the lesson here man!

Holy crap the tone of that cutlass.. what amp you usin with it?? *by the way it is taking ALL of my personal effort to NOT make a Kirk Hammett joke right now.*

Lol as goofy as you were being as the end, that song was awesome!!! Great playing. It reminded a lot of Andy James music. Thanks for all the helpful wah advice, Sir! I’m shopping around for a wah pedal. That Kirk Hammett wah is beautiful.🎸 🍻

Great video. It got me over the “Bulls on Parade” hump.

Wahluigi time

Dammit! I was hoping you'd do the reverse input as David Gilmour in Echoes... Amp>wah>guitar

I love yur videos man some very entertaining content here for music brains🤙🏼

Came for the Wah...Left with a new pair of New Balance 247 V2 Munsell White & Team Royal Blue shoes on order. Thanks for the inspiration.!

Nothing says "shredder" quite like some white New Balance : )

What color is the guitar? Please i need to know ASAP

that solo is pretty sick! best tap-in-a-bend I have heard/seen thusfar (with the lick after it and all) it sounds like feedbacking an overtone with all the wah!

awesome! you always inspire me with playing the guitar :)

Uh-oh someone forgot to add the purchase New balance on Amazon link

Came for the tip, ended up getting a tip for new shoes 😂

Good topic bud. Nice guitar too in the beginning. I HAVE to express this one. I have used a bunch of wah pedals as most watching this....and I happened upon the HOTONE vowpress and.........GAME OVER!!!!!! I ain't kiddin man. You probably even have one already IDK....but you seriously should try one if possible. You won't be disappointed. Thx bro and I dig the vids for sure.

Very nice playing at the end!!

but ony one function, how to rock the stage and set it on fire

# 10: as a pre-wah for your other wah (source: Rage Against the Machine's Gearsite)

Increíble! saludos desde Ecuador Que gran video! A Great video!

Cheesus! I really like your "end of the video solos"!

You must be shapeless, formless, like wahter. When you pour wahter in a guitar, it becomes the guitar. When you pour wahter in a pedal, it becomes the pedal. When you pour wahter in an amp, it becomes the amp. Wahter can drip and it can crash. Become like wahter my friend. Kirk "Bruce Lee" Hammett, probably

..is nice seeing winning Music with something other than a PRS for a change.

Daamn, that end solo... Awesome!

Now that was some ending! Thank You! I'm sold on the Wah. Gotta get one!

**INSERT KIRK HAMMETT JOKE HERE**

"And you can make a beat just like a drummer would do!" Lars: 😐

Thunder sound at the end of your song alone is worth watching all the way to the end🤘

nice Kirk Hammett wah pedal. you can also plug your guitar cable into the output of the wah and the cable you would use for the output of the pedal, running from the input jack of the wah, for some really wild sounds that can be adjusted and manipulated from the guitar.

My problem is finding a wag pedal that doesn’t cause my boss kitana amp to pick up AM radio.

All I hear is the crash bandicoot wahh sound

This is an awesome tutorial! So helpful! Great job

Ending solo is just awesome man👍

1:50 I thought that cable is plugged in whammy bar xD

Imagine not hearing constant cracks when you're using a wah😍

When I had a few questions about a Wah, I knew Music Is Win would be the place to come.

Love your vids man

What's a wah? I think you mean a Kirk Hammett pedal

I thought these would be cheesy hacks but these are total legit ways to creatively use the Wah!! Great video thank you

Thanks man it was so useful for me
