I don't use decent equipment for recording. Just my PC and a very basic mic so I'm sorry for the poor quality.
I know I'm not much of a singer and the lyrics are pretty simple but please try give me constructive criticsm where you can.
Oh yeah and I'm sorry about my voice cutting out a little bit at around 2:24. I should have had a glass of water to hand or something. Hehe.
Thanx

Nice Work. |
I'm really diggin this man.
Its simple but it really works. Definately reminds me of some good early 90s brit pop. Oasis really comes to mind when I hear this (Which is a definate compliment). Guitar wise, theres nothing to complain about, its simple but like i said it works well, and without the aid of another guitar or backing band there is no need to make it any more complex. Vocally it was quite nice too. Maybe its just because I'm a sucker for british accents but i quite enjoyed it vocally. You could use a bit of work to strengthining up your voice but its nothing time and practise won't help with. Overall a great composition I would say. Lyrically I liked it aswell, a nice hook and a cool over all theme. I'd be curious to hear what it would sound like with a full band and a bit of over drive.
Anyway keep up the good work.

Oasis? Yup, absolutely. Very simple guitar line, which seems to work fine (did you play it in Bb or were you playing it in A with your guitar tuned down/ using a capo?)
Recording quality aside, this is a pretty good song that needs some additional backing, and a little something else to stop it becoming boring... that's perhaps my only criticism (but I also feel that way about some Oasis songs). A middle 8 with a different strumming pattern could do it.
Pretty good overall though.

Thanks for the positive comments guys. As you've clearly spotted, Oasis are my biggest influence. It's being played in A with a capo on 1st fret Jiminuk.
As for your comments on additional backing and the such like, I do have some backing lyrics but I haven't put them in just yet. There would also be some lead guitar in there if I ever get round to putting it in! I'd love to record this properly and perhaps with a band but I just don't have the resources... yet!

Hey SB! good job. the only criticism I can make of a voc/guit track is about dynamics. I harp on about this because I play alot solo in clubs etc. and really the only arrangement tools you have in that situation are your chops and your dynamics. I'd try to differentiate between your verses and hooks by playing them differently - maybe just a volume thing or maybe a strum pattern or different picking pattern... i don't know but (to me) it suffers from being all one energy level with no narrative arc. Otherwise it's a cool song with a definite tip of the hat to one of my fav '90s bands.
Well, man, you recording resources are not an excuse for the quality; I have my PC and a $3 mic ( basic one for computers) and I must tell the quality is not that bad! I'm sure you can improve it.
Talking about the composition: well, I see your influences pretty clear, like Oasis. You have a special voice and that's good. Sometimes a bit weak, but just few.
The chords progression is very common, but is very well used.
Keep it up.

This is pretty good...
To get the quality better, duplicate your guitar tracks, and layer them in, to get it more full, ands same with vocals... will make it more full, and sound better... you can do this with your software.... it will really give it a better feel, and you will be happier with the outcome..
Hope that helps.... I will rate this song, but, I suggest you declare peace on this one.. and redo the mix , duplicate and layer, and make it sound better, then resubmit and reenter the battle... you will be happier, and will get more votes..

Hey man ritem is verry nice on the guitar
but sorry man youre voice is to how should i put it like
not too high or anything but well dont know how to say it doesnt go with the ritem.
aah but youre english so it sounds a bit like an old english pop/rock singer. Maybe try it on an electric guitar with low volume.
but overall fantastic that you can make this.
keep it up
