    I’m not even REMOTELY as good as Charles, but a wah was the first pedal I bought and one that felt perfectly adequate being alone on the pedalboard for quite some time. Highly recommended. I’ve been a drummer for far long than I’ve been playing string instruments, but I think that it also helps quite a lot with independence, as you sometimes have to “play” the pedal at a different pace than what you’re doing with your hands.

    Fun fact: he's actually doing all the bass, guitar, and drums all at once on one track, recorded live, first take. His hands just move too fast for you to see.

      Yes, the camera’s frame rate only captures him on the bass but if you look closely you can just barely see him flying around the room to play the other instruments
