Think the third chord in #41 is wrong... :/

Really cool that you made it slow.. works very well. Expected something else than just the guitar playing though... Try to sing or add some percussion or a lead guitar or something... Kinda boring to listen to the rhytm guitar alone.

But, really liked it being slowed down. Pretty clear recording too.

41: a little buzzing in the intro the first time around, but overall good. also the strumming pattern isnt exactly dave but you plyed this well enough to know that, and I like people putting their own touch on it. what chord are you using for the G in the chorus? sounds interesting. I like whatever Em you use in the intro too, cool stuff. nicely done

granny: seems like you could accentuate the hammer on a little more in the first chord, but again well done. are the last two chrods of the chorus (when the bass not slides up from F to C) the same as on the site. the C chord sounds different, and I'm not sure it fits. also the first slide in the chorus, when you slide down, it sounds like you are sliding to 5xx5, I think it's supposed to be 5xx6...sounds a little flat. overall good, that setup sounds awesome and you defintely got some skill.

lover lay down sounds good, you hit that last hammer on in the verse a split second before I do, but that's a personal touch and this was very nice sounding. I think I liked this one best.

the jam was cool, any lyrics to that? it sounds almost mayer esque, in that it doesnt really use bland open chords from what I can tell, there are added notes/different voicings, which is always cool.



I like em all, you have a few tiny kinks to iron out, but hey who doesnt....nice job and keep playin

also add vocals, or if you cant sing then a second guitar part to mimic them :wink:

If he's playing it intentionally than it wouldn't be wrong.

i though #41 wasnt bad at all, the different rythym somewhat makes it unique...granny is tad slow..and i thought lover lay down wasn't bad at all...nice job keep up the good work
