Unread post by Tranman66 » Fri Dec 24, 2004 9:27 pm

As you all hear the horrendous cover i did of this song a while ago, but here s a redo as i was eager to test out my new USB recorder. I dont how good this is.. but i think it sounds better with headphone. free to comment and i am eager for more critique.

i just rerecord, this is the final

Crits:

-You're missing a lot of notes and your timing is all over the place.
-Definetly record the vocals seperately. You're having a tough time playing and singing at the same time.
-Use a metronome to practice this song.
-Keep practicing.

Also, you're saying "lil'" rather than "little." It's distracting.

Well, I'd say your timing could use some serious work and I would suggest playing along with the song while you practice. That really helps me alot when I'm trying to cover a song. The one thing that stuck to me with the singing was your pronunciation of some words, again something you could probably work on by just listening to how Damien does it while you practice.

First of all, as everybody said the timing needs work. I would suggest learning the song extremely well just on guitar first before adding the vocals. Also your changed the timing for a lot of the words in the song...for example it sounds like you sing....
"whats goooooing on." when the "go" shouldnt be that long. You also need to work on pronouncing the words correctly. Like somebody else pointed out you say "lil" not "little". Keep working at the song though and you'll get it. Work on doing just the guitar and try to add the vocals separately and see how that turns out. You'll get it with a little more work.
