Hush Little Baby - Original Solo Guitar Arrangement

Guitar solo arrangement of lullaby "Hush Little Baby".

I created this arrangement with a chord-melody approach. I have posted the tab and sheet music on my website (http://sites.google.com/site/classicalguitarstudy).

Equipment:
Rodriguez Caballero 11 Classical Guitar
Samson Go Mic Microphone
Flip Video Ultra Camcorder
Audacity to record the audio
TrakAxPC software for mixing video and audio

Lyrics (I don't play all of the verses - they are identical instrumentally):
Hush, little baby, don't say a word,
Papa's gonna buy you a mockingbird.

And if that mockingbird won't sing,
Papa's gonna buy you a diamond ring.

And if that diamond ring turns to brass,
Papa's gonna buy you a looking glass.

And if that looking glass gets broke,
Papa's gonna buy you a billy goat.

And if that billy goat won't pull,
Papa's gonna buy you a cart and bull.

And if that cart and bull turn over,
Papa's gonna buy you a dog named Rover.

And if that dog named Rover won't bark.
Papa's gonna buy you a horse and cart.

And if that horse and cart fall down,
You'll still be the sweetest little baby in town.

Hi, I'm a grunge guitarist looking to get into classical stuff. I have never owned a nylon string guitar or even an acoustic guitar. Would you recomend this?

[brandonppl]

@MotherFudger27 I would recommend this guitar. I played an electric and steel string acoustic some before this guitar. I played a lot of the guitars at our local Guitar Center. In the $100 to $400 price range, this was by far my favorite. It was solid, it sounded the best, and was one of the better looking guitars too. Give it a try, it is a nice guitar. Best of luck with whatever you buy.

can I ask you what program you recorded that into?

[brandonppl]

I recorded it into Audacity and then I cut it and synced it to the video use TrakAx (both are free programs and can be found by searching their names in google).

Hey i got the same mic and i wanted to kno how u put the mic on the stand

[brandonppl]

LilMama3,

I modified a guitar stand. I'll have to do a video explaining exactly what I did in the future.

Basically, I used a machine bolt that I found at a hardware store (3/8-16, or 5/8-11 - I don't remember which). If you take your mic into the hardware store, they can help you find a bolt that matches the threaded hole on the mic base. Then just find something to mount that bolt to that will hold your mic where you want it.

can you make a tutorial on this?

[jetsonjoe]

good...but put a bit more gusto into the effort

Hi, does it say Cabalero 11 on the label inside of your guitar? I recently bought a cabalero 11 and inside it says Mod. C3. I'm confused. Thanks.
