Question What is the "waka waka waka" style guitar in "Papa Was a
Rolling Stone"? Also in "Theme from Shaft". Kind of a 70's
cliche sound.
Answer Hey Brannen, the style of the music Funk/Motown & the effect used is called a wah-wah pedal. Other tunes that have wah:
Jimi Hendrix - Voodoo Chile
Jimi Hendrix - Burning of the Midnight Lamp
The Grateful Dead - Althea
The Grateful Dead - Eyes of the world
The Grateful Dead - Shakedown Street
Stevie Wonder - Higher Ground (On the Clavs)
There's way more than that of course, but it's late & that's just off the top of my head Hope that helps, if you need anything else, just drop em a line.
