This year marks the 50th anniversary of one of the most important inventions in electric guitar history: the invention of the wah-wah pedal. This device has graced the recordings and public performances of guitarists of all genres from rock to funk, surf to country and all others. I still have an original Cry Baby Wah knocking about somewhere in my goods. A local weekly newspaper here in LA (the pedal was created here in Hollywood) ran an article on the inventor of the wah-wah pedal and the device's history:
http://www.laweekly.com/music/50-yea...garage-7767475 It is a bit stunning to find out such a wild musical device was created by the guy who played guitar in Lawrence Welk"s orchestra. (For those of you to young to remember or know, Welk hosted a network TV program for for about two and a half decades that was the epitome of straight, corny music, such as polkas and waltzes; his show basically ended because his audience was literally dying off from old age.) The fact Del Casher also played with Zappa makes him even more amazing. Here are a couple of cuts I feel are prime examples of the wah-wah pedal at its best: God, I really miss SRV. Not only was he the best guitarist since Hendrix, he was one of the coolest live performers ever; not even a broken string could faze him; watch this little clip whose title says it all: <O>

On vienna's post: I remember watching that unplugged thing SRV did for MTV was it? and that guy had strength in his fingers bending those 0.13 gauge strings on that accoustic with more ease than most would with 0.9 gauge Ace guitar picker for sure.
On a totally unrelated note, a bit of sacrilege |

Oy! Always up for a bit of sacrilege; even more so for blasphemy:

Stevie ray was absolutely one of the best. It's hard to believe he will be gone 27 years this Aug 27. he was lost in 1990. This clip you showed was Stevie Ray's last appearance on the program Austin City Limits on Oct 10th, 1989. Stevie died at the age of 35 and many feel that Stevie hadn't reached his peak as both a song writer and guitar player. Stevie was well known for his fiery guitar playing but stevie's playing also had an incredible melodic element as well as evidenced by this clip. It is also from his last appearance on Austin City Limits. This is another favorite. Life without you. |

The previous post about SRV reminded me of the only full project Stevie Ray and his brother Jimmie ever recorded, an album that produced this song:
Here's a great cut by Jack White (and I do believe I'm madly in love with the young lady playing rhythm guitar): <O>

The album you spoke of is Family style featuring brothers Jimmy Lee and Stevie Ray Vaughan. Another song on that album with the brothers features Stevie's signature vocals and guitar playing. It's called the Telephone song. |
