Using the wah wah pedal is not that difficult, and it can be quite essential as you play your music as it creates great effects in real-time. To create a muted wah effect, begin by putting your finger across the guitar's strings on the fretboard, so as to dampen them. Then, rock the pedal to the front and backwards while strumming out a rhythm. You can also create a wave by simply playing a chord once and then rocking the pedal back and forth in rapid succession.

Once you are comfortable and can pedal it full half way and also in released position, learn how to adjust the controls on the pedals. This way you will know how to get the best sound matches when you play.
