Re: Favourite users of Wah Wah pedals!!!
for years, i have attributed the guitar part on this to jj cale. my brother tim told me just a few weeks ago that it was a slide player named mac gayden. at least i nailed the amp. ( been saying forever it sounds like a deluxe to me, they way the mids react)
here's what JJ himself says about the song:
"This was done with an Acetone electric drummer. The rhythm
guitar is my Harmony tuned to the key of F#. Bass was
overdubbed by Carl Radle after the rhythm guitar and Acetone
tracks were put down. Mac Gayden overdubbed slide wah-wah
using a Lincoln guitar, a Japanese made Les Paul copy, and a
Maestro Boomerang pedal through a Fender Deluxe Amplifier. Mac
played this cut with his guitar laying on his lap, steel
guitar style. This was an idea he picked up while playing with
Weldon Myrick, a Nashville steel guitarist. It gives a cleaner
sound."

^ Oh, yeah - Mac Gayden was a MAJOR studio player around Nashville around the "Blonde on Blonde" era. He also wrote "Everlasting Love". He was in a couple of Nashville "supergroups", Area 615 and Barefoot Jerry, that were both really good. No wah on this, but check it:
He popped up everywhere. Does great guitar on this Larry Jon Wilson track, using his "slide-wah" technique:
Did some solo stuff, too, with Mac Gayden and Skyboat. Here's another stellar example of the slide-wah:

Good one, Joe.
I saw you'd posted that and was gonna post "Morning Glory", but Horsey beat me to it.
So, I'll post this instead:
(I can't tell if there's wah on it or not, but if there isn't, there should be.)
