thnx guys.

I'm listening to it right now. love the percussion between the chords and the fills in the verse, it adds a lot and a lot of people overlook it. the verse vocals were great I thought. in the chorus you seem to quiet down a litlle bit. you also seem to speed up near the end with the song in general. the guitar on every part of the song was the money, and the vocals were overall really good. keep it up.

Ok this song finally gives me the perfect word to describe what I mean on the vocal imitation... It's the "Kermit" tone that I'm not digging. I'd like to hear your voice more, naturally you don't sound like Dave but you do have a natural James Taylor type of tone. Try a version without the kermit tone and then you would be on borderline perfection man! Still, great effort overall, now with that said you will totally win me over by doing a cover of "So Much To Say"!!

Btw you never gave me the good and bad on my cover "Why Did You Mess With Forever?" Mave!!! I did the learn a song in a couple hours and record it in an hour routine Hee hee.

Felt fast....felt VERY fast...the guitar feels a little too frantic. Even my 12 year old sis though it was blazing. Singing wasn't too bad the last chorus sounded really off-key though. Slow it down a little son!

You did a fantastic job on these songs. Those are some tough tunes and although they are played faster than Dave, you are not Dave, and I wish people would stop thinking they have to play exactly like him. I think the guitar and vocals were great! On key (most important) and basically you'd do very well covering those tunes out at any bar. GREAT COVERS!

Great job on the guitar...a little quick but no big deal. (Ants.) The biggest critique I have for you is that its very obvious youre trying to sound like dave when you sing...I can hear you have a pretty good voice under there. Focus on singing from your stomach, and dont try to modify the tone with your throat. Nice guitar work...it sound pretty clean. Good job.

i think i try to sound like him because thats pretty much all i play. i realize alot now and im glad you guys tell me this, i just hope it doesnt become a problem in my life. i dont want to be a Dave WannaB, just for now i guess.
thnx guys

oh, and JC here is So Much To Say for you
