Wah-Wah Wednesday!

Guitar World recently announced their 25 Greatest Wah-Wah Solos of all time and it reminded us of Rocky's performance with his 1968 vintage Vox Wah-Wah pedal and 1961 Fiesta Red Stratocaster.  Enjoy!

With an experienced player's foot, there is nothing better on the market than a vintage Vox Wah-Wah to create that iconic sound.   This solo is excerpted from Rocky's work on Black Oak Arkansas' Wild Bunch album and later included on their Greatest Hits.
