It was pretty good. I think you should put some more time into it and you could make it sound a lot better.

A few things...

Brendan has a great voice (yada yada yada, I said that last time) and it really really shows on this track since its just him and his acoustic. You don't really seem to hit the high notes very well, it might just be out of your range. And I noticed you slipped up a little during the last chorus :lol:

I thought the guitars were a little off in the beginning. I mean they sounded decent, but weren't in sync with each other very well. Keep it simple. The second guitar part seemed to be a bitch much for the beginning of the song. It seemed to be fixed about halfway through the song and it sounded great from then on out. The slide part was really nice too.

Overall, I'd re-record the second guitar part to make sure it meshes with the first guitar a little better in the beginning. Good job though.
