Cry Baby Wah Wah Pedal Part 1

JB — Tue, 08 Mar 2011 05:03:55 +0000

First there was the ‘Tape Echo’. Then ‘Tremolo’. Then ‘Reverb’. Then ‘Fuzz’.

Then came the “Wah Wah’ pedal.

Think ‘porn’. No don’t. Think ‘Tales Of Brave Ulysses’, White Room’, ‘All Along The Watchtower’.

Art Thompson (Guitar Payer magazine), Brad Plunkett, Del Casher, Dweezil Zappa, Eddie Kramer, Dennis Coffey, Wah-Wah Watson, Charles “Skip” Pitts, Buddy Guy, Paul Gilbert, and many more share their tales about the Cry Baby wah pedal created by Jim Dunlop in 1966.

I bought one then. That was way cool.

Forum Went Poof !!

JB — Tue, 22 Feb 2011 06:40:04 +0000

Sorry everyone. But the Forum had a hissie fit and is no more. I had to delete all the forum database tables and there’s no way to get them back and ensure the same problem would not occur again. However, I am presently testing another ‘social network’ type system to integrate with FD Insider. If [...]

Brian Ferry On The Letterman Show

JB — Mon, 14 Feb 2011 08:50:10 +0000

I really like this. Especially the way the drummer, bassist and guitarist work together. Busy but very effective bass-line.

Is that a one-chord song?

#1: There’s Only 3 Chords You Need To Know…

JB — Sun, 13 Feb 2011 02:18:07 +0000

This pdf article discusses the simple fact that music is based on 3 basic chord types…

The 3 chord types are:

Major chords
Minor chords
Dominant 7 chords

Click the link below for the PDF. Or, right-click and choose “save as…” to save to your computer.

Download Issue # 1

So why is it helpful to know this?

Well, it’s because all your efforts at learning guitar boil down to learning 3 chords, their basic to advanced versions, and how to make guitar lead solo’s using those 3 chords.

That’s really all it comes down to. So keep it in mind when you’re learning anything new.
