I'm a righty but I could never get comfortable using it on the right foot... I've got more freedom of expression with my left foot. I think that foot is more artistic.


Maybe I should take up toe painting.

Right, my wah has always been on the right of my pedals, I've never tried it with my left foot but it just wouldn't feel natural to me.

I'm right-handed but shoot rifles lefty & I surf goofy-foot so mostly left foot for me.
it really depends which one's closest to the wah @ the time.

I thought pro guitarists used their foot on the neck side of the guitar.

so the body of the guitar didn't interfear with the wahing action.

So I forced myself to do that.
But when I wasn't paying attention to what I was doing I then noticed I was using the guitar body side leg. (right)
It had more control and sounded better than my left.
but I still force myself to use the left.
It photographs better using the guitar neck side leg.
you endup pulling hendrix faces and stances if you use the right leg.
