Violet Deliriums's video: The Pretenders - Middle of the Road guitar cover

This is my cover of the Pretenders' song "Middle of the Road" (1984). They are led by their guitarist and lead vocalist Chrissie Hynde. I am not faithful to the riff, solo, or the sound of the guitar in this cover, but I just do it my way and make it work. I played it on my deep-space black Fender Standard Stratocaster HSS with the bridge humbucker selected through my Fender Supersonic 22W amp's "Burn" (hi-gain) channel. I shaped the sound with a Keeley compressor (all knobs at 12 o'clock) and a slight slapback from an Electro-Harmonix Memory Boy delay so that it sounds kind of retro (like surf or rockabilly). I clock on a TC Electronic MojoMojo Overdrive (all controls at 12 o'clock) for the guitar solo. The last solo is supposed to be a harmonica, but I don't know how to play a harmonica like the guy on the record does. So I turn on the MojoMojo Overdrive, Phase 90 (at 9 o'clock), and a slight medium delay on the Line 6 DL4 (set for "Analog Delay" patch). To record it, I played along with the mp3 with my computer speakers and amp huddled around a Samson CO1U microphone into my Mac's Photo Booth program, which reverses the image and I don't know how to fix it. The middle of the road is trying to find me I'm standing in the middle of life with my plans behind me Well I got a smile for everyone I meet As long as you don't try dragging my bay Or dropping the bomb on my street Now come on baby Get in the road Oh come on now In the middle of the road, yeah In the middle of the road you see the darndest things Like fat guys driving 'round in jeeps through the city Wearing big diamond rings and silk suits Past corrugated tin shacks full up with kids Oh man I don't mean a hampstead nursery When you own a big chunk of the bloody third world The babies just come with the scenery Oh come on baby Get in the road Oh come on now In the middle of the road, yeah One...two...three...four... The middle of the road is no private cul-de-sac I can't get from the cab to the curb Without some little jerk on my back Don't harass me, can't you tell I'm going home, I'm tired as hell I'm not the cat I used to be I got a kid, I'm thirty-three Baby, get in the road Come on now In the middle of the road Yeah
