This song is not in a battle


I recorded this around two years ago on a portable multitrack cassette recorder. The previous night I recorded it, myself and a few work colleges went out for a meal and a few laughs. I'm lucky in that I work for a small company and we all get on. We had a great laugh that night. I've been meaning to take all the good parts out of the tune and make it into a proper song. I personally find it hard to put a song together over a long period, I generally record a whole song over a day. I think It's to do with the feel. I would love to hear some constructive criticism, so I can get the inspiration to do it again.
I hope you like it.

I like your Guitar work a lot, you've got a beautiful thing going on.
But I think you could sit down and write some lyrics to do this beautiful tune justice, know what I mean matey?
I'm sure a night out with your mates inspires you a little bit more than these repeated lines.

'Tell a tale or two' is a beautiful base to build on lyrically, at the moment it sounds like you've got a few bricks and laid them out on the ground in front of you! lol

Cool song. I like your style. The soloing is really good.

Like kings said, this does deserve some nice lyrics, not that these lyrics don't work, and not that I'm an expert on lyrics or anything... I just think you could expand a bit for a song of this length.

Other than that, I have nothing.

Nice work.

You are absolutely right, I need to put my mind, if not my heart & soul into it.  The main problem I have is finding the time, the time I do have, I normally spend creating new material.
I will try to build on it, if not I think the best way forward is to collaborate with musicians like yourself.
Thanx for your honest advice.
Best wishes.
