I didnt like the percussion. It was misplaced & sounded like it was you beating on the body of the guitar. Otherwise, excellent work.

It actually was me beating on the body of my guitar. Good call on that. Anyway, what's soling?

Oh, do you mean 'soloing'? If so, the guitar solos in the beginning and in the end are all over the neck, since I'm missing my high E string.

Its a great DMB song, you should grab a copy from the ants servers. Unfortunately there aren't too many good quality versions with lyrics.


Good job again Ben! I'm adding this one to my "sleep music" list :) Dont take that the wrong way though, I just find a lot of your covers really relaxing. The #34, and DIKG a capellas, and the Sugar Will keyboard cover in particular.

I liked it a lot. I think if the percussion was had a little less volume it would have been better. I don't think it was quite misplaced, but definetly too much. I like it in the beginning when it didn't have the loud hit.

Your voice is pretty good too. Maybe work on the falsetto a little, but very good. The rest of the instruments were awesome. I really liked it. Great job.
