    Hi,

    Starting out using a wah - looking for songs/solos with good use of it that I should learn. Recommendations??

    Cheers.

    Electric Funeral by Black Sabbath might be worth checking out. I have always found that this song uses the wah in a different manner to the typical wah songs, giving the song a really evil vibe. Plus it is easy to play.

    Check out the live version of 'I Don't Know' from Ozzy's Tribute album, or my old favorite 'Yankee Rose' from DLR's Eat 'em and Smile.
