i liked it. good voice, good rhythm. nothing much to critique. maybe the only critique i have is that sometimes you sound like you're trying too hard and that you should relax a little while singing. but that's being really picky. overall, it sounds great

Random movie quote to make you seem hip and "with it": "I once saw this in a movie, it was about a bus that had to keep it's "speed" above 50, and if it's "speed" dropped, it would explode...I think it was called "The Bus That Couldn't Slow Down"!

Thanks for the feedback. I would love to hear your rendition of the song Easy E. The tabs for it are my own. I just sort of made my own to match my voice. Its capoed at the second fret (bear with me, ive never tabbed before).
e|-----------------0----------------|
B|---------------0--------0-----0--|
G|----0--------7--------0-----7---|
D|---2-------5---------7-----5----|
A|--2-----------------5-----3------|
E|-0--------------------------------|
Just pick with your thumb, index, middle and ring finger and you wont have to move arount to much. The chorus you just alternate between an E minor to and A (i sort of strum them when i get to the "I find it kinda funny" part).
E|-------------------------0--|
b|-------------------------2--|
G|------7-----------------2--|
D|------5---------------------|
A|------7-------------0-0----|
E|--0-0-----------------------|

Good job man, you did a great song justice. Guitar is spot on and your vocals are great. No real critiques.
Do I listen to pop music because I'm miserable or am I miserable because I listen to pop music?

Sounds good

I like your voice, you're vibrato sounds nice and natural.. not forced. But you do sound a little tense like the other poster said.. but like he said, that's being picky.

good job

Hey I just listened to your "Kind of Saints". I like it, very howie dayish.. Are you using a DL4 to do the layers? I think it would sound a lot better if you used some effects on your voice... The guitar sounds to lovely to sing plainly over it.. ya know? Voice, sounds good and is on.. I just think you should trick the song out some..

Great Cover.

I think this is the saddest song that has ever been written.

thank you. The song gives a feeling of one against all. I cover songs that mean something to me. In light of life lately, this one means alot.

And Gears of War is sweet... Heh, Sorry. Had to add it.

Good job though, I don't have to much to say. I enjoyed it quite a bit.
