The guitar is very good. The rhythm was great and you never lost the beat, very good. The harmonica was a little rough, were you just improving that or was that from a tab?

As far as the voice is concerned, it was a little mono tone. You need a little more variation. Try matching your voice to the bass note of each chord.

other than that good job, keep it up!

thank you, i was just improving with the harmonica, i just started playing it a few days ago.
i think a big problem with the harmonica is its not in the right key, im waiting for my new harps to come in in a few days

yeah singing has always been a problem for me, ill try what you said, thanks

Yeah im pretty sure that song is in Dmajor and most harmonicas are either C or G so yeah if your getting a D harmonica that would improve things a lot.

you are correct, it is Dmajor, i only have a C and A harp right now, so i used the C for this song. i just ordered a set so i will have A, Bb, C, D, E, F ,G soon enough

You rushed through the song a bit too much I though, slow it down a bit. The guitar was solid, you kept a steady pace.
as for the voice, I agree with Buffalo; try to get more variation in there.

I really digged the harmonica, though! once you get the key adjusted, it's gonna sound great.
