Hi friends,
I'm working on developing my rhythm guitar playing and recently discovered the guitarist Wah Wah Watson. I really like his sound; specifically his funky strumming patterns with the wah pedal and his choice of fills.
Here's an example -- my favorite part begins around 23:30 (
).I think developing more of this style of funk into my playing would help me better support my bandmates with rhythm. I know Guitar Wisdom has tutorials on rhythm strumming and they have already helped me learn so much (Thank you Tomo!), but now I'm looking deeper into using the wah pedal in funk and learning specific licks.
Does anyone have advice for researching this style? Are there any theory topics you think I should focus on? Any other guitarists to research or music to study? Thanks!
