How To Wah?

when i first hit off with the wah i cant control it either
my fingers and foot didnt work well together.
esp the foot, when to push it up and when to push it down, i think it really takes time, depending on the song and the feel as well.
it takes ur fingers, foot and sometimes the mouth to master the power of the wah pedal \m/

Wahs usually go before distortion and modulation efx. So, it would be guitar --> EQs/Compressors --> Wah --> Dist/Overdrive --> Delays/Phasers/etc
But of course, there's no fixed rule to do it that way.
As for how to use the wah in playing, you might want to think of it as a voice simulator... like you singing out a solo. With practice, the wah will be an easy thing to use, so don't worry man...

i've never learnt hand-foot coordination on how to 'wow'..i tink its not much of it
try to express urself & sing out 'wow' when u want ur notes to 'wow'. remember that 'wow' means ur toe from up to down. hopefully in time to come, ur brain is programmed dat whenever u wana 'wow' ur foot will automatically do the job.
try the 'wow' expression. capture wat u wanna hear. thats y its also known as expression pedal. u need to xpress urself.
try to sing along the melody and harmony of ur guitar at all times when u play even when u r not wow-ing.
for me personally,
from guitar to
1st filter effects: phaser, wah....i put phaser 1st
3rd OD/Distortion,
4th Equaliser,
5th Pitch effects: harmoniser, vibrato,
6th modulation effects: flanger, chorus..usually flanger b4 chorus for me
7th sound level controllers: noise gate & volume pedal..noise gate b4 volume pedal
8th echoes: delay and reverbs..i put reverb after delay..
and then to amp

i got reasons for the positioning.
and i agree with shredcow, there is no rite or wrong way of doing it.
