Violet Deliriums's video: The Cars - Bye Bye Love guitar cover

This is my cover of the Cars' song "Bye Bye Love" (1978). I dedicate it to my friends Bob and Denise. Bob really likes the Cars and Denise is just cool. :) I played it on my Fender Violet Deliriums ESM Signature Model Blacktop HH Jaguar which has Seymour Duncan SH-1 pickups, a killswitch, and some neat-o stickers on the pickguard. (ESM = Explosive Space Modulator.) I select the bridge humbucker and that goes through my Fender Supersonic 22W amp's "Burn" (hi-gain) channel. I shape the sound with a Keeley compressor (all knobs on 12 o'clock) and a Boss CE-5 chorus to get a good 80s chorus-distortion sound. To emulate the synthesizer solo, I switch on an MXR Phase 90 (set at 9 o'clock). I use an Electro-Harmonix Neo Clone chorus with the depth switch up and speed cranked fully for the synth's pitch vibrato, and turn on a Line 6 DL4 with a lot of delay in the second half of the synth solo. 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. Pedalboard dance during synth solo: 2:16 MXR Phase 90 phaser on (9 o'clock) 2:18 EHX Neo Clone chorus on (completely cranked, HAHA!) 2:20 EHX Neo Clone off 2:23 Line 6 DL4 delay on ("Analog w/Mod" patch) 2:30 EHX Neo Clone on 2:31 MXR Phase 90 off 2:32 EHX Neo Clone off 2:33 Line 6 DL4 off I can't feel this way much longer expecting to survive With all these hidden innuendoes just waiting to arrive. It's such a wavy midnight when you slip into insane. Electric angel rock and roller, i hear what you're playing. It's an orange sky. Always it's some other guy. It's just a broken lullaby. Bye bye love. Bye bye love. Bye bye love. Bye bye love. Substitution, mass confusion, clouds inside my head. Were fogging all my energies until you visited. Eyes of porcelain and blue could shock me into sense. You think you're so illustrious. You call yourself intense. It's an orange sky. Always it's some other guy. It's just a broken lullaby. Bye bye love. Bye bye love. Bye bye love. Bye bye love.
