OH MY GOD….MUST HAVE WAH!!!!

my favorite Buddy Guy wah-wah moment is the one that gets me this wah-wah pedal.

Honestly, I’ve never heard or listened to buddy guy. I’m just a broke desperate musician in need of gear and that would really help me out during these times.

My favorite moment was when BG was when He played Hoochie Coochie Man Live at Vernon. Everytime I listen to this one, it always sends chills down my spine!

Woop Woop! 1st entry!

I remember him playing a guitar canter special, that entire set was breath taking. I’m a young guy but I love things from before my time. Buddy is one of my favorite artists of all time. As far as Wah-wah, it seems that EVERY time Buddy uses a wah it is just another point where he cries or laughs into the guitar and it comes straight out the speakers. Great artist, funny guy!

Buddy Guy’s cover of Voodoo Child is the Best!

Voodoo Chile! Because Buddy does the best Hendrix impression ever

when buddy makes that thing sing.

Had a chance to meet Buddy at Fraze Pavilion outside of Dayton, Ohio a few years back. Eric Johnson opened for Buddy. Hell of a show!

Anyway, I was backstage helping my wife with IT stuff Buddy and his tech come walking by with his Strat and a bottle of Crown Royal on a roadcase. T Said hi, shook his hand talked for a second and he left. Extremely cool person!

When he went on stage told my wife, got to go! Not gonna’ miss Buddy!

About 3/4′s of the way through the show Buddy does this timeline tribute to the history of the song Vodoo Chile. He started with the earliest know rendition, brought it up through the years to Hendrix. He kicked in his wah, and I, and everyone else, were schooled and awed at the same time

Nothing like it!!!!!!!

It was honor to meet Buddy and talk to him and then get to see him play from the 4th row

Great memory!

Any time, really. The contour of the wah from flush to slammed is ridiculous. It kind of just always sounds good, nomatter what.

my favorite bgwwm is in no song . its been the moment , i’ve seen, that i could win a wahwah  , cause i have none

I always loved “Damn right, I got the blues” He’s just so sincere about it.

Have to say “Hoochie Coochie Man” live at Vernon is my favorite as-well. Love it XD

my favorite Buddy Guy wah moment was when I saw him live in Hershey, PA November 18th because every time he soloed, his facial expressions matched his solos. It’s hard to explain, but you could see the emotion in his playing. The concert was very inspirational for a young and aspiring bluesman like myself.

Voodoo chile, cuz its cool

Favorite Buddy Guy wah-wah moment is whenever He uses it.

Buddy Guy! Hell yea!

Buddy Guy – Voodoo Child (Slight Return), is by far my my most favorite of the songs hes done the solos in there just speak to me and gives me that extra push to better my blues playing as a guitar player, and better my Heavy Rock solos by adding more blues elements into them , i would love to own this Buddy Guy Cry Baby! Buddy Guy is by far one of the best blues player ive heard if not the best.

I just love hearing the wah go on in the song let me love you baby with BG B.B King and Eric Clapton!!

i just want the wah wah.

I can not remember for the life of me, but I was watching a concert that Buddy Guy was in with a few other prominent guitarists. I wasn’t really watching it for him, but he played this sweet little solo where he seemed to know all of the perfect moments the use that little doll! It was a beautiful solo, and when I am in a blues guitar mood, Buddy Guy is always in my playlist.

Any moment is my favorite Buddy Guy moment!!!!!

i just love the way he plays with such feel, im not big on that style of music but the few times i have seen him play blew me away, this man can make a guitar “speak” liek no other, his wah sound is killer!

“Voodoo Child” on the Experience Hendrix tour. Buddy peeled the paint off the walls on that one. Transcendent!

Seeing him in concert a couple years ago. He killed every song and had the crowd on their feet for his entire set. He is hands down my favorite blues artist.

It’s gotta be his cover of Voodoo Child!

 When Buddy Guy played  Damn right I’ve got the blues with John Mayer, I remember seeing that live and it was one of the greatest moments of my life, because Buddy Guy is a huge idol of mine and I had not expected to be seeing him walk out of on stage with John Mayer and he just shook that whole venue up. It had everyone moving and grooving

Definitely Voodoo Child!

My favorite Buddy Guy Wah pedal moment is when he uses it make his guitar flatout sing the blues while jamming Feels Like Rain with John Mayer.

Every moment he plays guitar !

Voodoo Chile!

I LOVE BUDDY GUY!!! I saw him live like a year or so ago, and it was phenomenal!! He had his Wah pedal front and center, in the middle of the stage.  Watching him play can’t even be fit to words.

“she’s a superstar”

Saw him at the Woodlands blues festival in 93. During Voodoo Chile, Buddy hit a gloriously unhinged, wah soaked note which he then proceeded to effortlessly hold for about a full minute, all the while flashing his infectious, youthful smile at the awed audience. That day i learned that if you know what you’re doing, you can say more with one note than with 10,000. A valuable lesson, that extends far beyond guitar playing.

….Dunlop……….Who am I supposed to pick my favorite? That’s like asking your child which day off of of school they like best. 

Mans a legend.. would really appreciate and use this pedal every day 

I don’t have a special story to tell I just remember always seeing Buddy play and there was always that crybaby on stage out there up front   , he doesn’t always use it, boy , but when he does  LOOK OUT !!!!!  POLKA DOTS MAKE EVERYTHING BETTER !!!

I just framed a picture of him and 3 of his guitar picks.. one of the picks says “Go F•*k Yourself”.. this would be the best Christmas present EVER!!!

every time he turns his wah on, id like to see anybody use there wah better than this legend

Haven’t had a chance to see him live. Just on video. Voodoo chile

voodoo child!! sent chills down my spine for a week, and then some!!

I love when Buddy does his version of Hendrix’s Voodoo Chile (slight return) the wah work is as potent as Hendrix as if he’s channeling his ghost. Amazing!!!!

“I put a spell on you”, from the Bring ‘em in album. Buddy is literally casting a spell throughout the song! It’s entrancing, and will drown you with tone.

I Love “CryBaby”.

I was in Buddy Guy’s club here in Chicago. I was there to see Eric Sardinas (if you don’t know who he is, get your ass to one of his shows!). I was going into the men’s room, and Buddy was coming out. I was startled, and too nervous to say anything to him. I feel dumb now. I wish I would have shaken his hand. (Hopefully he washed it after peeing.)

Definitely Voodoo Child! Just amazing!

YOU DAMN RIGHT, IVE GOT THE BLUES. THESE ARE THE SCREAMING SMOOTH SILKY TONES THAT INSPIRED ME TO PLAY GUITAR.

I saw him play VooDoo Chile live in Seattle!  It was my most memorable Buddy Guy experience ever!  He uses the Cry Baby like nobody else on earth!  He makes it swing low through the valleys and high into orbit, then hangs there forever with endless sustain!  He’ll kick it forward as a treble booster, then rock it back to low growls all with the precision of a true guitar wizard.  He’s like the Yoda of the blues.  BG is the best!

Now You’re Gone on Bring Em In.

Country Man from Feels Like Rain, It drives the whole song

My favorite Buddy Guy moment isn’t a specific song, but it was when he was performing at an outdoor concert at the University of North Florida. During the break, he invited me and a friend to sit in his van and talk. He was very friendly, and I’ll always be greatful for the time he spent with us . . .

I remember watching a show that Buddy played in Texas. It was the first time that i had ever seen him and I was blown away by how much emotion he threw into his guitar solos. When Buddy uses a wah pedal, it seems that  he is making the guitar come alive and sing. I don’t have one song in particular that is my favorite wah moment, I guess I love them all!

Buddy does an awesome job with the wah on Voodoo Chile

Mustang Sally.  I am sure if you up the definition of finesse, there would be a picture of Buddy Guy. Absolutely great tone.

Buddy Guy- Voodoo Chile lets play guitar over our head…….

buddy has truely set the mark ,, tennessee jed , voodoo chile , a ton of blues numbers  . this wah has a lot to give to every pick stroke .. like muddy waters , and many  blues masters  weither from detroit , or the delta .. it has a soulfull expresion . it’d be not only cool but grand to add this to my small assortment of tools i use to find that sound to fill my nature .

the riffs and wah moments in Mustang Sally are the some of the greatest in blues history! wish I oculd meet buddy and shake his hand and thank him for leading the way with so much of his music!

Mine wasn’t a wah wah moment. I met him backstage at a show and now I  have bought a Strat that he signed that day and he was such an awesome man! I wasn’t expecting how wonderful he was and how interested he was in me. I still have the backstage pass from that day and the beautiful guitar he signed,… now I just need the wah wah. To be honest he really inspired me to learn guitar that  day and that was the  best gift.

Damn Right I’ve Got The Blues album had some great wah moments on it.

dude. mustang sally.  Its so tasty and uplifting.  All the fills in that song complement buddys voice and i love it because it never fails to get me in a good mood.

Buddy is the man!    but, my favorite Buddy song does’nt even have a wah used.. but, if I gotta pick one with. I’d go with vvith Voodoo Chile …just because i’m a huge Hendrix fan too..

Mustang Sally

Was leaning against the stage mains in Wichita Ks, watching Buddy play Voodoo Chile…this pedal would look nice next to my Octavio!!

Any song he play is my favorite moment!

live, 2 yrs ago on St. Valentines day, Buddy was strolling through the audience playing and flirting, when he spied the lady I was with and came over to mess with her, he got down on his knees and was playing with his tongue, in a not so tongue n cheek rendition of rock me baby, of course he wasnt using a wah, but he had the girls creamin that night!!!

“Me & My Guitar” from Breaking Out is my favorite! Bordering on rock and roll chaos, it walks a hard line of soul, funk and blues. Listening to it now. Thanks for the reminder what a great song this is!

Buddy Is a tone hound! Soft and smooth to Rough and Gritty. He talks though his Wah. 

This one: http://youtu.be/lKzMJrQ3uqk (1:35-1:55). BECAUSE IT’S NASTY.

The song “Do Your Thing” because  he utilizes the wah effectively during call-and-response segments. Its very humanesque. He does his thing…maybe that’s what he meant. The song also ends with soulful, growling, tasty wah traling off nicely. Even at low volumes, you can hear that wah growl, talk and cry.

Love the “Voodoo Chile”, but also like the use as a tone-pot in “Ain’t No Sunshine”…

You know, I have two Buddy Guy albums, and I don’t think Wah is on either.   But I AM a big Buddy Guy and Dunlop fan and would LOVE his cry-baby with an autograph!!!

Mustang Sally just makes me wanna fall in love with blues all over again

It was at a Dave Matthews Band concert in Chicago, in the first year or two of this century. The opening act cancelled (i believe due to illness), and Buddy was in town. He “opened” for the DMB. Without any offense to who was supposed to be the opening act that night, the musical value that I got from that show was double the price of admission.
Buddy did his thing, as he seems to do, and then he came up on stage for a veritable melding of the styles during the DMB set. I already appreciated Buddy at the time, but aside from adding his own magic to the music I was hearing, he also shared an entire history lesson of the blues with many other people that would not have otherwise been exposed to it.
I have no doubt that what Buddy did that night exposed thousands of people to not only himself, but to his influences, and also those who were influenced by him. I soon became one of the latter in my guitar playing, and hopefully share it with even more people.

Thanks, Buddy.

I have to say my favorite wah-wah moment is in the song in Now You’re Gone it really adds to the deep feel of the song and helps to put a great twist on that deep traditional blues. The wah-wah defiantly makes that song what it is. Love the blues but especially Buddy for his unique style and adaptations its what has inspired me to venture out and try new things with my music.

(You Give Me) Fever  off “This is Buddy Guy!”. The solo right after the two minute mark is that perfect subtle use of the wah, expressive but not obvious 

In Chicago in the 70′s he was pretty much everywhere, but for wah… I love it when it does a Hendrix song. 

Buddy’s done some AWESOME live performances of Voodoo Chile (Slight Return) where he was KILLING the wah wah!

I dont know if he used a wah on the song or not, but the first Buddy Guy song(s) I heard were from Stone Crazy. I was hooked. Beginning to end its still one of my all time favorite blues albums. I still havent managed to see him live, and I regret that. But I will. The man is amazing.

Gotta go with Mustang Sally he kills it!

I’ve never seen Buddy, but I have seen Muddy. If I’m not mistaken, it was Jimi Hendrix that introduced the wah~wah effect to Buddy Guy. He sure know’s how to connect the dots from his pedal to his guitar.

I honestly couldn’t decide but I will agree with John from a few posts earlier that this http://youtu.be/lKzMJrQ3uqk is pretty damn NASTY!!!

mustang sally………kills it

Mustang Sally… it just wakes me up every time

Midnight Train

A version of Voodoo Chile(Slight Return) just awesome, and of course Mustang Sally. It’s just the way the wah was invented to sound like

Mustang Sally……Thats the one for me. Buddy has the groove…wah-wah-wah

mustang sally– because I said so !!!

Voodoo Child (Slight Return) a song designed for killer wah tone – great stuff!

Vodoo Child because it kinda freaks me out since I was a kid.

Mustang Sally of course! It envelopes every note pleasant to the ears.

I really haven’t ever listened to him but I’m sure going to go look up some of his stuff now. But I would really like to have a new Wah pedal.

Mustang Sally. Only saw him play once, back in the early 90s in Crown Point.

Mustang Sally. Just amazing!

Mustang Sally

Mustang Sally!

Man! Hard to pick just ONE Buddy Guy moment, he’s amazing! I do love that Voodoo Chile clip, though – not many could pull that off in their own right, but Buddy damn sure could!

Fucking MUSTANG SALLY! That’s pure BG for you! His tone is HIM. No bullshit.

Mustang Sally!!

Hoochie Coochie Man solo by Buddie Guy, ultimate live with the wah-wah, brings the soul out from his fingers, feet and out to the speakers and into the ears of the audience listening pleasure, wo yeah!

My favorite Buddy Guy
wah-wah moment? That has got to be ‘She’s A Superstar’ from the
‘Feels Like Rain’ (1993) album. From the beginning to the end, from
the first to the last note, this song is full of wah-wah goodness.
Makes me wanna pick up my guitar and play the shit out of it.

Did you ever see Buddy Guy playing “Voodoo Child” by Jimi Hendrix? Buddy was a great inspiration for Jimi, and so it must be great for him to hear Buddy play his song. He passed away, but he was listening from heaven. Buddy did the song fantastic, ofcourse with a WahWah. But my personal favorite?: I PUT A SPELL ON YOU!!! He played is with Santana, they both use a wahwah. And it’s magical. The power of this mighty minor-blues. Just incredible. It’s my favorite Buddy Guy wah moment for sure.

Buddy Guy And Jonny Lang 
MIDNIGHT TRAIN is a Screaming Blues Song

i’d like to listeng to one…never did before..im will search youtube for some Buddy Guy Wah Wah moments…no doubt they will be great

I saw Buddy Guy live together with Jeff Beck in Berlin and the way Buddy used his Wah was amazing! So to me its not a special SOng, but any songs where he uses his wah!

All the best

Damn Right I’ve Got the Blues was my first Buddy Guy Album and I have been hooked ever since, my obvious favorite is Mustang Sally but take your pick from the whole album and you wont go wrong.

I’m not familiar with Buddy Guy’s heavy use of a wah pedal, but Guy did fuse the styles of Muddy Waters, Howlin’ Wolf, James Brown and Elmore James.  I first heard about Guy on “Alone and Acoustic” and “Damn Right, I Got the Blues.”  Later, I found work he did with many rock and blues musicians in “Supershow” and live dates with Stevie Ray Vaughn and Eric Clapton.

Damn fine wah.And Buddy Guy’s rightfully legendary

I dig almost all of Buddy Guy’s catalog.Most blues leaves me cold but that dudew gives me chills!!!

I LOVE IT WHEN HE USES IT IN THE CHAMPAGNE AND REEFER JAM WITH STEVIE RAY VAUGHAN IT WAS SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO THICK AND LUSH I JUST WANT THIS CRYBABY MAN PLEASE I LOVE DUNLOP. I’LL LET YOU POOP IN MY TOILET, YOU CAN OPEN MY FRIDGE WITHOUT PERMISSION IF YOU GIVE ME THIS PEDAL UGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 THANKS
