Help! (Again, m sorry for being so naive🤞)

[Niyar Deka]

In this playthrough how is he using the wah. I really can’t figure out coz i cant see his legs moving and all

Thanks in advance

I’m pretty sure that he recorded the video after he recorded the song so he’s not using the audio from this video.

Edit: the wah part is in 1:26
Also what is that picking style at 2:26.
Again thanks for the help, owe u guys big time

@philip tomisa… Oh i see

 

[Filip Tomiša]

the picking style at 2:26 is called tapping

Ya, this is a studio track and he’s “lip syncing” along to it. The wah part sounds like it might be an auto-wah effect, meaning that it’s a wah, but operates on a set speed instead of by manually modulating a pedal. John Petrucci uses an auto-wah a lot in his solos.
The tapping he’s doing at 2:28 is using the edge of his pick to tap, rather than the typical fingertip. Adrian Smith from Iron Maiden used to do that a lot in the 80s.

Thanks for the aid Ed. You’re always there for the rescue, can’t thank you enough

On a related note sometimes pro guitarists will have someone off-stage handling certain effects for them, like kicking an overdrive or autowah on and off at the right times. A quick example, this is how Jim Root of Slipknot gets his ‘wah’ sound in the chorus of “Wait and Bleed” during live performances.
