off topic musical question about this song rather than your analogy. Does this song have a chorus? It seems that the only candidate is sort of an alteration of the verse melody- (masterful but somehow also not so conventionally chorusy!). Weird but I need an answer, please!!!! What I am thinking is the sections starting with One night a wild young cowboy came in 0:48 and the section starting "Out through the back door of Rosa's I ran" 1:45 (and I like the rhyme in "I caught a GOOD ONE it looked like it COULD RUN".) Man what a fantastic song this is...and the guitar accompanying is so perfect that I cannot imagine the song without all that!
I've listened to the entire album more times than I can remember lol, and I feel like most Marty Robbins Gunfighter songs stylistically don't really have choruses. Songs like Running Gun or The Master's Call have little titular refrains, especially Running Gun, but I think El Paso is the only "true ballad" in that album, because lyrically it more resembles an epic poem than a song. I agree though, it's such a well written song, and you can see its DNA in so many other western songs written after
@@jaxonklaus838 thanks - I will have to listen to some of the songs off the record that you mention like the Master’s Call and Running Gun to hear what you mean!
It’s more of an A B structure. The main section “out in the west Texas town of El Paso” is more similar to a chorus with that other section acting like a bridge. Similar to jazz/showtune structure.
@@DrakeMartin why is the verse melody to you more like a chorus. And why would the twice repeated alteration to the chorus (which to me is a blessed relief melodically - along with the wonderful classical guitar accompaniment ) to you more a bridge than a chorus?
Pointing out the importance of the duration of notes and rests is critical to playing this correctly. Anybody who likes this album should give Walter Becker's solo record Circus Money a close listen. The production is insanely great as is the playing.
I love how sparingly some of the instruments are used. There are great dynamics without being crowded. I wasn't expecting to listen to the whole song, really nice work!
I don’t know that it’s a good idea to refer to this as a Jazz bass. I understand the body shape and pickup configuration but tonally it’s in some no man’s land, definitely it own unique thing and I also disagree as to how usable or gimmicky the Joe dart lineup is, I think I’m with Jack on this. You’re quite a good player, and you clearly worked hard on this video.
I don't quite understand what you are trying to convey. Sure, people will interpret the song as they want, however, that does not stop Radiohead showing the world how they interpret the song themselves. So once we know their interpretation its up to us to choose weather we "listen" to the syncopation or no. But still there's an interpretation with syncopation === the song is syncopated.
This is a great video! This is my 3rd or 4th time revisiting it. Your playing is impeccable too, by the way. "Gaucho" was the first Steely Dan album I ever heard. I liked the other tracks leading up to "Glamour Profession," but once I heard the song, I knew I was hooked on Steely Dan's music. "Glamour Profession" is so precisely crafted and surgically executed, it delivers a vibe I haven't felt in any other song. I love other songs from Steely Dans catalogue, but "Glamour Profession" is special.
Well done, Drake. "Gaucho" is one of the most, if not the most, remarkable songs in S.D.'s canon. Jeff's drum part alone is a work of art. The bass part (done after the fact) is totally right for the song. And let's not forget his guitar part as well. It's sad that he is so unacknowledged as a musician. Thanks for a great video.
Even having listened to the live version first, it is still difficult to hear the melody offbeat in the studio version. But it's worth it and it totally changes the feeling. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-eAihk6H6oHY.htmlsi=zLRDK75GknoUpC7U
Great video. I was similarly confused by Vox’s video when it came out. I can see why Radiohead might perceive this song as staring on the 4& but to me it starts on the 1 and at no point does it stop sounding that way. Like you were saying, if this supposed syncopation is hidden throughout the entire song, then it’s not really there at all.
Hi David ! Does the singing part not give any clue to choose between straight or syncopated notation ? It seems to me that to understand the way Thom Yorke is singing that song, we need to have the syncopated rythm in mind but i'm not a specialist at all ! Besides, on the studio recording, we can hear his feet moving on 8th notes on the pedal piano, just as he does on the solo version of The basement.

@@IamWone god does not love you, for you do not know him, just as we do not know the ants of whom we consume and slaughter with our machinations and our rhetoric.

There are some aspects that are a little off from C418, but with more compression, I think it would sound spot on. I was listening for synth piano identifiers like unnatural sounding dynamics, p -> f, but it is extremely difficult and time consuming to simulate. (I have hours of piano works I had to synth after selling all my keys 14 years ago, so had my ear to the floor). That texture of being in the next room recording is what I think made this work the best. You have the resonance and range but not a major loss in quality you'd get if you were actually on the other side of a wall with a mic. Really cool. Chef kiss to matching the tonal registers.
Second time listening. I thought for a bit, "use a noise gate" to dampen the hissing sound but you built it in and I'd like to retract my initial observation on how the compression tools being deployed would even be useful. You nailed it by incorporating several stages of the game's changing music throughout the updates.

Thom Yorke did an interview with David Byrne in 2007 in which Thom states "The piano is ahead - it’s an eighth ahead of where the one is." (The interview is on YT.)
