i wrote this song a few months ago, as everyone can tell i recorded without a metronome (yea stupid idea but i was just learning to record then so didnt relise it had the feature:P).
ive done all the parts myself and would like some feedback on the guitar playing/singing/song structure... anything except recording really cos i was just learning how to. thanks for listening p.s. it was recorded in about march so hopefully i've improved since then. -------------------- Guitars: Epiphone Les Paul Standard w/ Dual EMG 81 Pickups.

That was quite cool, although I think the overall sound was a bit thin.

Love the vibe ... I have a couple of rythmic production tips for you ...
I always think strumming on an electic sounds a little ill defined, nice as the textures ir creates are. You generally need something more to hang the song around. I have found 2 solutions over the years: 1. Use an accoustic for rythm - it is much more percussive and gives more of a sense of rythm., You could double it with the electric to keep the dreamy texture 2. If not drums, use a percussive instruments sparingly, such as a tambourine or shaker, maybe playing 4th notes Also, your low-mixed vocals have already been mentioned. The actual performances are great, I liked the song, a little bit of production could really make this shine! -------------------- Check out my Instructor profile

Very nice and gentle song man. Guitars needs to be more cleaner, too much chorus there, and cleaner without so much drive (you need more headroom). Also voice is little week and in the same range as guitars playing, so they confront in the sound range.
