Funk: Switching From an Amp to The Harp Wah

Funk: Switching From an Amp to The Harp Wah

Harp Wah Playing Examples, News

Here’s a nice Funk jam – where I start out through an amp, then switch over to acoustic playing using the Harp Wah.

To me, the cupping effects I get with the Harp Wah work well in a tune like this. I would normally choose to go through an amp on this type of track, but the Wah is a nice alternative.
