Today’s 2 minute guitar tip is all about changing up your accessories to see if they give your playing a spark.

The wah pedal has been one of the most amazing effects of the past couple of decades. Countless players from Hendrix to Vai, Hammett to Slash and more have made use of these awesome boxes right under their feet. In this post I’ll go over 25 of the best wah players of all time, including songs you should check out if you want to get creative with the pedal.

Today I'm running a giveaway for some items that every guitar player needs. If you catch all the new videos on Chasing Sound's YouTube channel, you have a chance to win picks and strings from Dunlop and Ernie Ball. Check out the post for more!

Choosing a guitar pick never was a personal thing for me. I found out what Kirk Hammett of Metallica was using, and for years that’s what worked for me — the Dunlop .88mm green Tortex pick. I still think these are fantastic everyday picks, but one day I wanted to see what else was out there.

I reached out to a couple bigger manufacturers who sent me some picks, and some small manufacturers as well. There are countless pick makers out there, and I’m sure you’ll let me know who I missed! In this post I’m going to go over four different companies that I have experience with, and what their picks have to offer.
