El Gaucho Original Thread

Could you type out the lyrics?

Would you help me catch this calf all my help is far from home draggin that cow hauler bound for Oklahoma
She said I didn’t sign up for this crocodile Dundee life baby you’re thinking of overboard I swear it’s just this one time
She’s a city gal with a country man
She chose the chaparral over the concrete land
Chorus
Put the ring in his nose and kick him off his mama put him out in the field with the longhorns and brahmas
Let him fight the other bulls let him switch at the flies let him taste the salt for tomorrow he may die

We can take the wheeler or the side by side
I’ll get the gates if you wanna drive
First we gotta find him he’s quick as the devil throw a rope around his neck bring him down to our level
Hit ‘em with that lasso baby Buffalo soldier Put that rompun in his tail vein just like I showed you
Chorus
Gotta tie up his legs to make him a steer give him a blackleg put a tag in his ear
Baby just slow down what’s on the ring in his nose I’m down on one knee you can start crying I suppose
It was my maw maws ring I don’t know the carats why don’t you say yes let’s get married

I think it would sound better if a cowbell was added. Thoughts?

send me to the ukraine

I got my bass back and was adding ancillary parts but i couldn't come up with anything that sounded good so i just left it nebraska style. maybe some day


ETA: I can't guarantee I put up a song tomorrow because I think I'm gonna go play at a singer songwriter thing

also when I check if this is gonna work google drive makes me download it into itunes and I don't know how to fix that. It's not intentional

It’s an acoustic guitar and I sing through a pa

Bro it’s hard to keep up with one or the other when you’re not doing them both at the same time. I could try separating them

ETA: I have a band of guys that’s as pro as you can get for here and we’ve recorded before. Wasn’t super crazy for the recording process

I’m mostly doing this because I have way more volume than we can keep up with. I feel like I write like 5 songs a week. If you wanna polish them up feel free but if you get big singing my songs I want a cut

ETA: I record through a snowball and was thinking I might put another snowball at a different angle someplace

Figure out a way to chart your guitar part out, any way that works for you.
These tascam recorders are really good and easy to use for a songwriter. You can get a good clear recording on simple stuff.
If you have a pickup in your guitar, you can plug it straight in.

Anyone else having trouble with playing the file? The page looks normal but when I press play nothing happens.

Can’t you just use GarageBand or something similar to record separate tracks?

Aside from the obvious things (recording quality, room for improvement, etc.), I think your voice has good potential. Good overall tone/edge to it.

The Ukraine song could def use some cowbell.

And after that, more cowbell.
