Skip Pitts

DROP THE NAME SKIP PITTS INTO A conversation and you might get blank looks— but mention “Shaft” and the room lights up. Everyone remembers fondly the wacka wacka of the tune’s wah pedal played by— you guessed it—Charles “Skip” Pitts. But even before “Shaft,” Pitts had assured his place in guitar history by creating an unforgettable signature riff for the Isley Brothers’ classic “It’s Your Thing.”
