well I've been experimenting with dynamics recently, guess I'll label this one a failure.
thanks for taking the time to listen!

well I think with dynamics the vocals and guitar have to be somewhat similar...like a slow crescendo of both the guitar and vocals building up to the chorus would sound better IMO.

Well Andy, as you know I haven't been on here for months and this is the first post in this thread for a while. I haven't heard you sing something in long time. I must say from what I remember, your voice has gotten much better. I'm going to try to stick around for a while again.

Your voice is pretty ok, although sometimes a little off.
As you said, you are working on it for this song, but I guess it's just a matter of practice.
I like it a lot and I also appreciate the fact that you did not stick to the original.

Your voice has improved ten-fold over time. I enjoyed it well enough.
Stay with me, safe and ignorant.

vocals are way up...too much imo. you completely drown out the guitar. also, maybe a bit too much reverb on the vocals, but not enough to throw it off.
the guitar was great, your vocals are getting up, you really have the higher notes, but you're going to have to work on the breathier low notes a bit more. i still have trouble w/ those at times, they're really hard. like everything, practice makes perfect.
you gotta tab?

i capo on 5, then its just the regular tab you can find anywhere mixed with some C and them Am chords. verse is just c and Am back and forth, then the chorus is F and G to and fro. Tis simple!
thanks for listening, im still working on my voice, he is a finicky beast.
ill keep working i pwomise
