that billies verse is hard if you're new to it, yours wasn't too bad there, you played the first chord to grey street a bit too long, but other than that, that was fine, liked the transition to LIOG, that was played well, after the stop time intro warehouse came together a bit better, another hard song that one is, in pig the timing of the come sister... part is a little off, i'm sorry this is soundin so negative

cry freedom sounded decent, sounds like a lot of open strings in #41, try and mute some more of them and you'll have it, PNP sounds ok, again, got some open strings ringin that you don't need

overall i'd say you've got some timing and accuracy stuff to work on, i really didn't want this to sound negative, i was typing while listening, and i just kinda typed what i heard
also, yeah, thats pretty long bro! i'd cut that up into about 5 different segments, but try singing too, you'll probably get more responses if you do

phew - again, sorry this wasn't an A+ report from me, just keep at it, you'll do great

on billies i think you went from the nature intro to the intro a bit too slow. and a little bit of rythm problems on the verse. but certainly not bad at all.

on warehouse i think once you started the full intro (after the stop time) you missed the the 7 on the G-string

i'd say strum the intro to 2-step a bit softer and slower. it seems a bit....the chords are too seperately defined.

nancies i thought needed some work. the open strings for the little fill it think should be a bit more defined.

wooo, warehouse again......nice way to end it, good job on that last chord.

overall i'd say it was pretty good. i was just giving the criticisms, but there was a lot of good in there too. how long have you been playing. not too shabby at all.

on #41 i'd really recommend doing the hammer ons on that last chord

Thanks for the help I have been playing for about 11 months. Yeah sorry for all the screw ups it was just one of those lets do this thing it was never really planned out and I only recorded once but I agree with all of your criticism I will work on what needs to be worked on thanks for the replies. And I plan on singing on my next post. Thanks again

You play excellent for only 11 months experience. I have been playing 5 years and don't sound sound as good.

I critiqued every song except pig....cause shit, i've never learned that. what's wrong with me? haha. so yea its gonna be long, but please do read them all. i put some hard work in it.

Tripping Billies:
Well graves is right baot the nature part. well if you're trying to emulate dave then he's right. if you want how dave plays it you go to the other intro before the slide to 7xx7 in the nature. listen to any recordiings you'll hear. the timing on the verse was off which was stated already.. just play along to the song more.

Grey Street:
I have two criticisms here. 1)the first chord of the verse (7xx7) you're holding it out a bit too long. 2) the strumming on the chorus is accurate yes, but technique wise....i'd say you need to feel more comfortable with the chords. it sounds like you need to pause between each chord. but overall i liked the greystreet quite a bit.

LIOG jam:
very well done. that sounded great. i liked that a lot. no criticism.

Warehouse:
very tough song. but again, your problem is htat i guess you haven't heard the songs enough. listen to the stop time intro a couple million more times. lol. but i liked your way of doing too. it sounded cool.

Too Much:
Nice. very nice. try to simplify it though. i mean those high slides are awesome. but you gotta try out the easy stuff too. nicely done.

The Last Stop:
great to hear. sounded great. very nicely done.

Two Step:
try to mute the high strings. that's all. i'm not very good at the verse to this song.....so i can't critique too much. also, calm down on the strumming some. be gentle. haha.

Say goodbye:
that one needs a little work. i knew it was familiar, but i couldn't exactly tell at first. there's more slides and mutes that you MUST hit. its important.

Cry Freedom:
i liked it. it sounded pretty accurate. you did a good job with yourself on this one.

#41: sounded kinda sloppy. as someone else said, the open strings is what is killing those chords. work on muting. but good nonetheless.

(i feel bad saying everything i see wrong! trust me there's lots of good in these. i'm just saying what will help you the most.)

So Much To Say:
VERY good. up until the other part of the verse...gotta work on that some more. but the main part is very good. by other part i mean the 1, 3, 5 then slide up to the ten part. nicely done

PNP:
I liked it. nicely covered. sounded good. good work. great work.

Dancing Nancies:
all i have to say is mute. there is a crucial mute in there. very crucial. try to be a little more percussive. but the rest sounded great.

(holy crap this is long! lol. just 40 seconds more)

Warehouse again:
awesome. i liked the way you finished htis off. but again, that main riff part is a tiny bit off. you have the main idea, but there's some notes wrong i think.

Overall statement:
that was quite awesome. it shows your variety in his songs. now my advice is to sit down and tackle each song one by one. use all of our critques. i'm doing this to help you out. for the most part it was good. but to become better, you need to learn to perfect these songs using what we tell you. and you'll hear a difference very soon. very nice man!! post more soon!

Wow thanks I-am-me I don't know what to say just thank you for taking the time to reply to every song. That is what I am doing now I am just sitting down and learning all of the little things in each song that I need to work on thank you all for your time.
