Cale (among others). He created the famous "slide-wah" guitar technique, playing slide guitar through a wah-wah pedal - made famous by J.J. Cale's "Crazy Mama."
During the late 60's, he wrote and performed with Area Code 615, a group of the same studio musicians who recorded on Bob Dylan's "Blonde on Blonde" LP. After two albums, that band splintered and went on to form Barefoot Jerry. Mac Gayden remained with them for the first album, "Southern Delight," but the group went on to perform many more critically acclaimed albums.
Mac Gayden, meanwhile, recorded a couple of solo albums in the early 70s and much of his slide-wah technique was resurrected on these recordings.
