That was great thanks for sharing! Can't wait till I can play smooth like that!

It is a difficult FX to get used to, but more to the point what do you want to use it for? While playing with pedals & new sounds is awesome fun, at the end of the day you have to figure out the practical application of an effect. The autowah only does certain things. What you are expecting to do with it might really only be possible with an actual wah pedal that you can manually control.
I simply just want fun funky sounds out of it lol. Like I had mentioned I can mimic fairly well the lead guitar sounds that 311 made on their song Amber. Really fun song to play. Uses the a minor scale which paired perfectly with the early lessons on GT. :cool: The idea of creating my own full songs is a few steps away from where I am skill-wise so I guess just knowing what it's capable of or what it excels at will have to suffice for now. I'm all about simultaneous learning which is why I've gone ahead and bought gear that I don't know a ton about. Trial and error is a tried and true way of learning and I'm all about it. I don't want to learn how to play guitar and then have to start from the beginning when it comes to how different gear affects sound/tone.
