Fell in Love with a Girl - The White Stripes - Guitar Cover

Guitar cover of "Fell in Love with a Girl" by The White Stripes from their album White Blood Cells.

I've always loved Jack White's sound on this song which is reminiscent of the late seventies and early eighties new wave / punk / alternative sound. I'm using virtual sustain and overdrive pedals with a clean amp setting.

The White Stripes were an American alternative rock duo, formed in 1997 in Detroit, Michigan. The group consisted of the songwriter Jack White (vocals, guitar, and keyboards) and drummer Meg White (drums and occasional vocals). Jack and Meg White were previously married to each other, but are now divorced. After releasing several singles and three albums within the Detroit music scene, the White Stripes rose to prominence in 2002, as part of the garage rock revival scene. Their successful albums White Blood Cells and Elephant drew them attention from a large variety of media outlets in the United States and the United Kingdom.

The White Stripes used a low-fidelity, do-it-yourself approach to writing and recording. Their music featured a melding of punk rock and blues influences and a raw simplicity of composition, arrangement, and performance. The duo was also noted for their fashion and design aesthetic which featured a simple color scheme of red, white, and black. The band's discography consists of six studio albums, one live album, two extended plays (EP), one concert film, one tour documentary, twenty-six singles, and fourteen music videos. Their last three albums each won the Grammy Award for Best Alternative Music Album. After a long hiatus, The White Stripes formally announced their split on February 2, 2011.

"Fell in Love with a Girl" is a song by the American garage rock band The White Stripes, written and produced by Jack White for the band's third studio album, White Blood Cells (2001). Released as the album's second single in 2002, it reached number twenty-one on both the U.S. Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles and the UK Singles Chart. (Wikipedia, June 2011)

Nice job! Nice guitar too, what kind is it?(:

@SuperNmat

Thanks for viewing. The guitar is a "Godin" and the model is "Detour". I think it retails for about U.S. $350 but I bought it used. Godin is a Canadian company, the guitar parts are made in Canada and the guitar itself is assembled in the U.S.  Hope that helps – Ron

Thanks for viewing. I'm using a virtual amp (Blackface Combo) in Garageband with virtual sustain and overdrive special effects pedals. I've selected the bridge pickup and the tone is at about seven. Hope that helps - Ron

[jackass233]
