_ Hey there, I'm Andy with ProGuitarShop [A#].com and here's your next riff of the day.
It's the Cars and My Best Friend's [E] Girl.
And this version in particular is the live one where you can hear them playing in the
key of E, [C] versus the recorded one which is actually just the tape sped up to F.
In this one you can hear Elliot [C] Easton play some great rockabilly licks [Dm] with some slapback echo.
But before we start, I want to remind you about Free Pedal Friday.
[Em] Every Friday ProGuitarShop has a free pedal giveaway.
And all you have to do [C] to enter is click this link each [Dm] week.
[C]
In [B] the late 70's you could see the Cars playing through Ampeg amps on [C] stage.
So are using the Catlin Red [E] SFT Overdrive.
This foundation overdrive is designed to lend that Ampeg quality to any amp you plug [C] into.
Overall you'll notice a heavier punch in the low frequencies and less mid-range crunch
compared [Dm] to the [C] Marshalls of that era.
And always [Dm] a great choice for shorter delay tones [Em] is the Aquapus from Way Huge Electronics.
This warm bucket brigade delay taps out [Dm] at 300 [B] milliseconds and this makes it really
easy to fine tune those slapback [Gm] sounds at around 100 milliseconds.
[D] And you can find both of these pedals right here at ProGuitarShop.com. _

_ _ [C#] Well there's your riff of the day, the [B] Cars and my best friend's girl.
And you heard the Catlin Red [A] SFT lay a thick [E] foundation of Ampeg [B] voiced overdrive.
While the Way Huge Electronics Aquapus provided a [F#] warm [A] slapback delay that didn't interfere
with the drive signal.
And you can find both [B] of these pedals right here at [A] ProGuitarShop.com.
Thanks [Bm] for watching.
I'll see you for the next [A] ProGuitarShop riff of the day.
