Greg Kihn Band - The Break Up Song - Guitar Cover

Playing the 1981 classic "The Break Up Song" by The Greg Kihn Band. What a great bar band song! Using my Fender Telecaster through a Marshall JCM2000 on the clean channel with a Boss TR-2 Tremolo and a Boss DD-3 Digital Delay for effects.

My first attempt at shooting in front of a green screen and doing a chroma key overlay on a background. Just picked a few random particle backgrounds to test different settings. I had no idea it could be so difficult to get the lighting properly setup to shoot in front of a green screen. Especially in a dark basement. I had to use six 120Watt Brooder lights to get rid of all the shadows!

Question, where'd you get this version of the song? All the other versions I find are a lot slower. Great cover, great song. Good job dude!

Probably the closest I've heard to nailing the actual guitar sound of the recording. One of the most popular covers for bands in my locale.

@korgrandi Thanks man! Yeah the lighting was a bitch! I had to get 6 120W brooder Lights to make this happen. Not going to do every video with a background as the electricity for the lights will cost a small fortune!
