Crazy Horses keyboard part

[lushuk]

Hey guys, my band are doing a cover of this crowd pleaser Crazy Horses 😂😂😂 I'm trying to get the keyboard parts without the drums at the beginning and chorus, I've tried to isolate with audacity but don't have the skills, can anyone help or point me in the right direction please to either remove the instruments or record a version? Thank you

Funnily enough, we cover this, but just leave out the keyboard bit and the 'Take a good look around' part.

[lushuk]

It goes down really well lol, we use a Theremin at the mo but its a pain, i see bands using the sample but cant find out how to do it sadly

We do this; the guitarist approximates the part with a slide. Works pretty well.

[Woodinblack]

We do this with just a guitar. But I have thought of using a synth and a pedalboard.

Why do you leave the 'Take a good look around' bit?

[lushuk]

Yeah we want to get it sounding accurateish, the guitar doing it is just not what we are after!

Looks like the squeals are being done by a keyboard with some kind of ribbon controller. Might be worth getting a Korg Monotron (or a Duo) and trying that out? They're only around £30-40 so you've not lost too much money if it's not what you're after.

Will you be doing the dancing?

Ive only just worked out my bass amp Gareth haha, the dance goes down a bomb but i always feels the punters don't know it so thing we are doing our own dance for real lol, i think it originally was done on a Yamaha yc30 with a ribbon controller as above, i wonder who would have one of those lol

This is the best I've done but very tinny!

This is bringing back bad memories. In one of my former bands, the drummer used to wear one of those stupid rubber horses head while playing this song. Funny the first couple of times but then

[lushuk]

Haha, quality, but its given me an idea!

Tank did a cover of this back in the day - think they just left it out.

I really, really, really do not understand why I have just downloaded that !!!


A bit of EQ and it should work.

[lushuk]

Curiosity lol!

Crazy Horses? If ever there was a need for 2 kazoos in 'unison' that's it…

[lushuk]

Tried 3, was not really the sound we are after! so is there no ideas on software that will remove the drums or anyone that can do it, quite happy to pay for it!

Scandalous what they have done to this classic masterpiece

[lushuk]

These guys did it unless they just play over the drums at the beginning

Scandalous that such a sexy women can sound so scary.

Best on guitar if your guitarist has a whammy bar. (Depress, play notes, let the bar up and then give it some serious vibrato on the bar) Can sound great if he puts a little work in.

Strange to say but the Osmonds are better dancers.
