I’m right sided but I can only Wah like a mutha fucker with my left foot.

I'm left handed, left footed, but wah with my right foot.

same here. Mine is because I started playing "seriously", gigging etc with an explorer and that shape gets in the way of my right leg. Same with Vs.

But yeah I only wah with the left foot. Much better.


Also, I thought this would be a R Kelly thread

Haha, yeah I honestly didn’t know or really think it’s that unusual, but everyone I know uses their right... it would seem to make sense. Considering we drive with our right and already have that sorta control with it, but it’s like throwing left handed for me using my right foot

But I definitely toe tap pedals with my right foot!. I’ll use the left but it’s 50/50 maybe

I just tried it and it’s amazing how uncoordinated I am with my right. It almost doesn’t make sense! Lol
With my left, I’m all “Look ma, I’m dancin I’m daanncciiinn “ haha. I really hope at least one of you recognize that’s from a Tom and Jerry episode..

I tried it too and I can do it with both feet, but doing it the right foot put the guitar on a strange playing angle for me. Using left foot is much natural for the way I hold my guitar.

at R Kelly

I'm righty and always wahed with my right foot but, this left-foot-wahing-like-a-motherfucker sounds like it's worth giving it a try!

BRB with a report....

OK... I kind of like using my left foot but, when I tried doing a wah song, that I've been playing for over 20 years, it was kind of fucking me up.
So, this old dog is not learning any new tricks... at least not today!

Pretty sure I'll fall down if I try to use my left foot...

I'm a righty. Yet your explanation makes perfect sense as a V player yet I had never thought of it like that

I wah with both feet at the same time. Am I doing it wrong?

I have to use my right feets for every pedal sitch

Yeah that’s probably the main reason. It just throws off the playing position more..

some people drive with 2 feet... So I suppose left foot goes up and right pushes down. Like a teeter totter. And what’s more fun than a teeter totter. Especially getting off while the other side is still in the air and they slam down and drive their balls into their ass!

Wasn't Jimi wearing a pair of those at Monterey?

That dude has way, way too much time on his hands.
