    An Incredible Guitarist Wah Wah Watson. What a truly Talent Man, Who amazed all of us by, Working with every Artists on Motown. The way he played a Guitar, For Songs and Artists like Papa was a Rolling Stone by the Temptations Best Male Group of all time. Let's get it on, By The Legendary Singer Marvin Gaye, Off the Wall by The King of Pop, Michael Jackson.And My time Personal Favorite, It's the way Nature Planned by The Best of the 4 Tops. You can tell it was Wah Wah Distinguished Melody of Sounds. I heard about his Passing, And was very Sad. But he brought us so much Class, Charmed, And Dignity. Wah Wah is Playing from the Heavens Above, RIP ALWAYS, Wah Wah Watson 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

    I’ve been playing guitar over 50 years. I have a deep appreciation for this man. He makes playing guitar look easy but let me tell you, it’s not. Try keeping the groove like that for just even 16 bars… thanks for sharing this.

    Grew up listening to the Vancouvers because of my fathers love for the group. The guitar 🎸accompanied by the "wah wah" pedal, you can hear being played on a gazillion of songs by Mr. Watson aka "Wah Wah" Watson. He left a musical imprint with his guitar riffs. Mr. "Wah Wah" Watson may have been in the background but he left his stamp on every song.
