Muse - Knights Of Cydonia Cover

Guitar cover of Muse's "Knights Of Cydonia" from the album Black Holes & Revelations.

Note: I was kinda bored when editing, so I thought I'd have some fun by creating an appropriate setting with the sepia-tone style.

I didn't use my whammy bar during the whammy part....I know. I did an earlier recording where I did, and I sounded like garbage. It threw everything out of tune, so I only used it in moderation. Instead, I found a vibrato setting on my Boss ME-50 that sounded good enough, so I topped that off with a little fuzz.

Seeing as there are many different parts and tones to the song, it requires a bit of pedal tweaking in the midst of the song. (Having said that, when you see me bending over from time to time, that's me just adjusting the reverb settings. Also when you see me pick up the involvement I use with the whammy bar is when i've turned off the automatic vibrato effect on my ME-50)

I also feel that this is worth mentioning, on the acapella part where I don't play, I get up to change the volume and amp reverb levels of my amp.

Gear Used:
Peavey Classic 30
Fender Showmaster QBT SSS
Digitech Bad Monkey
Boss ME-50 (Delay, Extra Fuzz, Reverb, Vibrato)

Enjoy :)

Hey, what whammy effect are you using?

[sloppyjoe24]

I'm using a Boss ME-50. For the modulation, I turned it to "Vibrato" with a fairly fast key rate. I don't remember the exact settings for that though.

@TheDashingRedHornet Yeah, but doing it with whammy bar is cooler :)

And... hey, where's my lesson?

[TheDashingRedHornet]

That effect for the Whammy is so much easier than doing it manually! Awesome cover!
