makes me wanna ... STAY!

[Matty Boom]

i did 'stay (wasting time)' today, i just recorded it in one track so i thought it was pretty hard to pull off, but i think i did alright

let me know what you guys think...i think my voice handled this one fairly well, but i'd like to hear what you guys think...thanks!!

9/10, i like your voice, a lil more natural warmth and you'll be so amazing. Well done. I thought the guitar a lil soft. Raise the volume a lil. its kinda choppy how the volume of the guitar just raised so much at around 3:00. Your voice is fine. Good cover over all.

The vocals fell flat a few times, but this recording has a real good feel to it. I like the natural combination of guitar and vocals.

thanks, but like i said, i only did one track so trying to keep focus on the guitar volume to make sure it was loud enough to really be present, but to not overpower the vocals was a little difficult

damn you matty!! you beat me to this, i was going to post a cover of stay....

thought you did a good job, just maybe the guitar could be a tad louder, but it was good man

[mangold]

thats really good man, you improv in vocals with every post, maybe say wastin instead of wastinG, etc. it sounds a bit sharp with the ING's. keep em comin man, i like ur stuff.

Nice cover Matty, I think this is the first DMB cover I've heard you do besides Special Ants. This one is pretty solid. Like I said before, your vocals improve with ever song you do. Nice job at playing and singing at the same time.

hey come on now...150 some odd views and a few people replied...i really want to know what to better next time, please tell me what's up guys, thanks

(don't mean to sound like a prick, i love you guys )

nice job matty! i still can't believe how you've progressed since some of your first covers. it's absolutely amazing. this was a really good cover, guitar is awesome. your voice has improved so much i can't believe it!! you were a little out of key a few times, but that is definitely something that improves as you progress. excellent job. i loved it!

Well then Matty, my only criticism is that little bass run. Maybe I just play it differently but it seems a bit off when you play it. Anyone else notice this or am I playing it wrong?

i notice it too...dave strums it, he was picking it.

dunno if he intended to do that?

but it was good none the less

i don't thin khe's talking about matty picking it, its not that. its just off tempo. dave puts more of a groove into it. don't know if it was intended, i just like the way dave does it better.

anyway, for my criticism, i just want to say you need to practice this one a few times before you do it. and by that i don't mean one at a time. vocals and guitar together. this is a tough one to sing and play to, but i can hear you struggling with it. just a few more practice runs and you'll be sounding smoooooth.

and i'm loving this jack johnson strumming style you're sticking onto it.

You hit it right on the head Mikey, it doesn't sound as smoove.

Nice work matty. I dig the mellower vibe to it. (The surf strum.) It works better that way when done solo.

I thought the vocs were pretty solid...good breathing. I think the breakdown needs work. It just didn't have the nice little "funk" that it normally has. Good job man.

I forgot about that Anyways, I thought you did a nice job. The vocals were pretty good, but could use a little work. It seemed like your voice was not extremely smooth on some notes that you tried to hold and went flat in a few spots. (ie chorus after first verse "the good life"). but like I said, it was great work. normally i wouldn't be that picky, but it sounded like you wanted more specific criticism.
