This is my acoustic version of Dreamgirl. Please listen and critique. I was using my crappy mic for the vocals, so they're a little quite. Please critique me!!!!!

It was ok.
Try some different stuff other than the normal strumming for the verse. (variations/sus' etc)
Tip: Don't use octaves - They're pretty corny. Also, the main riff struggles to keep up with the time.
The transition from the verse to the chorus could be a lot smoother. Try to have a guitar part lead into or something.
I know you probably going for something new for the breakdown, but lose the mutes. It doesn't fit well and it's distracting.
The rest was medicore. It was pretty basic strumming/singing with some second guitar stuff.
It was ok. Try to be a bit more creative with the music though.

I liked it. But you got to let it flow more. I mean, the melody parts in the beginning. I just think that would sound better.
Your voice is good, but I don't think it works with the lyrics. The delivery wasn't suited to the song, but I think they'd be great on a number of different songs.
I really liked the ending by the way.

I liked it. Good voice, the breakdown was cool with you doing Roi's part on guitar, Pat's right though that the mutes did seem a bit out of place. The only other problem I have with it is Dave for writing such shitty lyrics. When someone else besides him sings this song it just makes them sound that much worse.

i just listened to your cover and i thought it was great, yeah it could have been smoother but overall i liked it. i thought the guitar playing was solid. your vocals were okay but i can definately hear you being awesome singing different songs. the mutes, i actually liked them but then again some people say im easily amused.

i like it kahn 
a little off-pitch in some areas, but not terribly so. guitar sounds good too except that also sounds a little bit off during the pre-chorus. but good job overall!
