Thanks for watching all. There are probably loads of great Wah riffs that I've missed. If you have any suggestions of any other good wah riffs, please leave them in a comment below. Might be good for anyone else who is looking for ideas too.

Kudos for getting a deep cut from Hendrix to make the list, although I believe Voodoo Child (Slight Return) is the ultimate wah song, if not the one which sums up what the electric guitar is all about

Yeah, not in it's "normal" use though. He doesn't move it, just leaves it at a fixed position. Another cool wah wah sound that is not recognizable as wah wah is the "seagull" sound in the beginning of the second part of Echoes by Pink Floyd. I've read in an interview with David Gilmour that he plugged the cables in the wrong way (by mistake) and discovered that sound.

Not sure if he fits the exact criteria for this video, in that I can't think of many examples of him using the wah in the most blatantly obvious trad sense, but as a half-cocked wah was the base sound of Mick Ronson's distinctly piercing nasally snarl on many a Bowie track , he deffo rates a mention imho.

I was playing through a Cry Baby Wah into a Boss Katana Mk50 for all. The distortion and other effects came from the amp.
