You said yourself: "Distortion/Overdrive"... Can a non guitar person differentiate one from another? And the Fuzz wasn't even invited... The Wah in the other hand is way more recognizable! Cheers!
José Sousa Well I consider them to be similar enough to where they can be used interchangeably. Not saying one is the other but the only real difference is the amount of gain. Overdrive is still technically considered distortion because the sound waves are being distorted.
More and more people have been talking about it lately and it’d be one thing if they were wording it differently but they’re just quoting Dave. 💀 Do people not know everyone can see the same youtube video. 😭
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
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.
It was actually very bad video cause low impedance wah pedals can only accept signals from low impedance pickups. Crybaby wah pedals don't work with EMG pickups. Kirk was forced to commission a wah pedal to work with EMG pickups.
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 couldn't tell this wah pedal was rejecting the high impedance signal. This wah pedal was designed to work only with active EMG pickups. The tone pot on kirk's guitar is 20k. The tone pot on this guitar is 500K. The KH wah pedal DOES NOT accept signals from 500K pots. That's like pouring jet fuel into a lawn mower. Do you understand this sound fault problem you have, caleb? You Can't even hear that KH wah pedal Can't handle signals from 500K pots.
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.
@@christopherquintanar4806 That and there used to be a live performance of theirs in black and white on here that was stellar, can't find it anymore though
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!
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! 🤘🏻
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!
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.
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.
There are plenty of Dunlop wahs with knobs and switches! I just picked up the jimi Hendrix fuzz wah and not only is there a knob, there’s are switches to engage the fuzz and another to select whether the fuzz comes before or after the wah. There’s also a tiny knob on the bottom to control the volume of the fuzz
2:50 i love doing that!!! I like using my wah to create tones and use it to layer in recordings n stuff. I leave my wah on more often then not honestly
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.*
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
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
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!
This video gave me some ideas so thank you. The accent and the building tension is something satriani uses a lot and I am a big fan of satch. PS: Thunder in the Ocean is a fantastic song. I've been listening to it on repeat for an hour now
Hey! Jimmy Page did the second way on the live early BBC session performances, and had the wah on the treble side for pretty much the whole show. That, combined with his dragon tele was probably the best tone I've ever heard from him, maybe even the best performance. They were so hungry for success during that show, ahah
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.🎸 🍻
