OK so I just bought a new toy, a Vox wah wah pedal and I need some suggestions on songs to learn that use a wah wah.
Someone suggested Voodo Chile which I'll give a try, although it seems like that might be too difficult not sure.
Anyone have any suggestions on songs that have a heavy use of wahh?

Now you are only around 2 hours away from me, Chris. That's scary for you, huh? :lol: :lol: :lol:

darn you beat me to White Room by Cream.
from Disraeli Gears, Cream...Tales of Brave Ulysses, Strange Brew.
and dont forget George Harrison's WahWah.
Clapton is one of my fav wah players.
Strange brew had wah in it? I don't think so.
Listen to "Sweet CHild of Mine" from Guns n Roses, possibly the song with the greatest wah solo I've ever heard
And Also "25 or 6 to 4" by Chicago for more wah pedal action
Bulls on parade by rage against the machine
Guitarin' isn't a job, so don't make it one.
Jimi Hendrix's "Up From The Skies" on the Axis: Bold as Love album is an exceptional Wah song. Not too difficult to play as it is mostly strumming chords, but there is a fairly simple solo at the end of the song as well. Terrific use of Wah.
If you know something better than Rock and Roll, I'd like to hear it - Jerry Lee Lewis
I'm going to say every song I play that I use a wah pedal on whether it was originally written with one or not. Be creative improvise your own wah techniques into songs. You never know when you my find something that really brings out the real you.

I would suggest anything Guns 'N Roses. Slash is a big fan of the Wah peddle with the Les Paul.
Sweet Child O' Mine is a Classic example.
one important thing you should or can do with your wah is to use it as a tone shaper.
set it at a tone level and have at it. the wah creates sick sustain and tone.
Frank Zappa, probably the ultimate master of wah techniques, did the set-tone-level thing quite well.
I love the screams you can somtimes produce with a BOSS PW10 and a bit of heavy O.D. It seems so much easier to hit pinch harmonics with the wah. It gives your Overdrive a bit more bite as well I find on my setup.
i love the D and C wah strums in the beginning of grand funks "closer to home"
most of Kirk Hammett solos are w/ wah.
Kirk has often been criticised for his extensive use of the wah-wah pedal in his solos, but he insists, "The wah-wah is an extension of my personality".
good luck playing his stuff...
Thinkin' bout the times we had
Some were good and some were bad
guitar fightin' the tv
i was thinkin bout you and me
Anything electric from Zakk Wylde uses the wah. I GURANTEE any of his songs (minus piano and acoustic) he uses the Wah and his Rotovibe.
GN's resident learning sponge, show me a little and I will soak it up.
Thanks guys this should keep me busy..if work doesn't
