Hi All

A couple of weeks ago my good friend Don Gaynor asked me to record a tune I had
never heard of,namely Buckaroo.

I usually find a midi file to adapt and then play the tune over it,but in this case there wasn't a suitable
Midi to be had,well not that I could find,so I decided to play all the instruments myself.

The Drums I programmed in EZDrummer,the other instruments used are:

Home-made Strat for Rhythm - Squier Precision Bass - Custom Shop Strat for the melody.

I have not bothered about the Panning on the tracks,I am working on something else
that requires pannning to be done more properly than I am capable of at the moment.

So,here it is,comments are most welcome,thanks for listening,and have a nice weekend.

Take no notice of the title,it means nothing.Also my apologies for the large file.

Alan

Nice Classic. Just for kicks check out this guy on Youtube and his version of this song. He is one of the best guitar players I've heard and he plays them without any effort at all. He goes by the name dedepick. The last time I looked he had over 80k views
