December Rain
*
This was my first attempt at songwriting. The older version wasn't very great, so I cleaned it up and rerecorded it (with new strings!).
The thunderstorm in the background was taken from one of those "soothing sounds" cds I had laying around.

Enjoy!

Very nice.  Your technique is excellent--you've been trained in flamenco?

I love the tone of your guitar when you start playing the esteban-esque sequence around 2:30.  I also love the dissonant chords just after the minute mark.  Your fingerpicking is excellent, but your rasguedo needs some work.  Sounds like your fingernails may not be long enough?  Hard to tell.

I like it alot though, show me more.

Very nice, some of the coincidences between the storm and the guitar are very..."exciting"? Especially at the beginning of the faster bit nearer the end. The real one complaint I have is that, for me, the change from the strummed chords to the picked line at around 1.29 is a little 'inorganic'... it feels a little bit like those metallica solos where kirk has two bits that he wants to go one after the other, so he plays them one after the other rather than bridging it.
But that doesnt really matter so much... specially seeing as this is your first attempt! Very nice
