Homeskoolin’ Volume 584, Tom Bukovac, “Choosin’ Texas” Isolated Guitars
Chapters00:00 - Dave Claus shows guitar tracks on Ella Langley song
Notes
Uncle Larry introduces the class to recording engineer Dave Clauss, who recorded the song “Choosin’ Texas” by Ella Langley.
This song has been an ENORMOUS hit and I have had lots of people ask about how I came up with the intro riff for it…so I figured it would be cool for you guys to hear the actual isolated tracks so you can see how the process works.
Special thanks to Dave for taking time to do this…hope you guys enjoy

Notes
It’s about damn time i introduced all of you Homeskoolers to my dear friend Brandon Hood…
This talented young fella came all the way from the Ocoee to become one of Nashville’s busiest producers.
I have personally witnessed the growth and steady rise of his career through the glass of hundreds of sessions we have done together over the years.
I am so proud of him…and this man is absolute living proof of one of my alltime favorite old sayings…”the harder you work, the luckier you get”
