Maybe I should start using my wah again

I've been using my volume pedal exclusively for vocal sounds together with my slide during the past year. Maybe it's time again to take out the wah and work a little more with that. I'm thinking Earl Hooker type wah and slide work. Then I can use either of the two depending on the situation.

Terje,
Have you checked out Chuck Campbell ?

Chuck also has a DVD that shows how he uses a wah for sale.

As far as advanced use of the wah wah goes the Sacred Steel guys really have it together.

I recorded this last week with my Boss V-Wah using the Morley setting. The guitar is an Asher Ben Harper lap steel:

The tune is "Wah Wah Jam". I also used some overdrive.

+1 on Chuck Campbelll and the Sacred Steel players, especially the ones that come from the "Jewel Dominion" tradition. The Morley wah is a big part of their tone. Chuck Campbell uses the Boss V-Wah by the way.

Gotta check out that dvd with Chuck Campbell, thanks for the tip. I am aware of his wah work and I think it's excellent.

Bill, that was a cool wah track. Wah and slide are a match made in heaven, that's for sure.

I bought a neo-surf CD fron the forum called "Danger High" by Double Naught Spy Car, and Paul Lacques does a great job with effects. There's a wah song called "Helicopter" that gets regular airtime in my house.
