I'm listening as I type...
(too bad, the video won't play on my comp...)
Guitar is definitely good... decent strumming.
as for the voice, I doesn't sound very natural to me. It seems that you want to emulate Dave's voice or something. But I'm not saying that you're not a good singer, by no means. I think you think rather well, at least better than I can
My advice would be that you just sing without trying to adjust your singing style. It will be way better that way.
However, I enjoyed listening to it. I heard that one so many times, but it's just a catchy ass song!

Pretty good on the guitar, although if you want my honest opinion, it sounded a little too "blended" and the slide and xxx555 wasn't clear. I don't know if that makes sense....
Also, I agree with the above - you emulated Dave's voice TOO much - you didn't just emulate it, you went over and above even how he sings. Kind of like a caricature of his singing - with exaggerations of parts of his voice... I know, sometimes it's hard to sing like yourself when you're doing a dmb song, but try to get your own voice in there and sing the words...

I just can't sing Dave Matthews...
Did you know that I'd prefer you to tell me I suck than : "hay man... sing with your own voice..." WTF? This is the only kind of voice for me that makes me able to sing those DMB tunes.
Post your tunes... maybe I can't sing correctly, but man... I'm on tone, and I just know one other guy on this forum who can sing on tone...
Post & shut up, stay with your own voice to sing 25 DMB tunes, you'll see it's practically impossible... Bartender, and So Damn Lucky, try this with your natural tone...
And be sucked by yo mom with your XXX555 I'm recording with a cam, so don't tell me how to play, and post YOUR XXX555... sucker.

Wow, someone can't take criticizm. But, you can dish it out very well. (Borocks post) Lighten up or leave.

I dont see you being a favorite around here. Your attitude is immature & you can't handle criticism. I suggest not posting anything here anymore if you are going to cry & insult people when they tell you their opinion.

Wow, you really need to calm down. The best thing about this site is the feedback people give you. It can only help you. That is, of course, unless someone like you can't take negative feedback and use it in a positive manner.JamesMatthews wrote:I just can't sing Dave Matthews...

So, until you're ready to take negative comments, I'd advise you to stop posting recordings.

No they don't suck. Of course it won't help if you dont take the advice. No one is mean here...... Except for you.JamesMatthews wrote:Your critique just suck... doesn't help anyone in there.
So sad....![]()
If I'm singing like this, don't tell me to sing another way... it's a little gay to say that, "Hey man... your singing sucks..." It's not what I wanna hear...
But who cares...

So, you both think it's funny to be told : " Change your singing style " Even if you know you can't...
So you tell me to abandon my DMB Project, that's it...
I thought it could be nice, but now, I know I can't sing
So, thanx for critique, now I know I should play Bryan Adams. Cauz my real voice sounds like this... wow

So play Bryan adams then. As far as DMB, YOUR VOICE doesn't suck it just needs some more practice. Soften up the voice.. Don't be so agressive with it.JamesMatthews wrote:So, you both think it's funny to be told : " Change your singing style " Even if you know you can't...
