love the slide riffs! the acoustic was really good too. You should record more like that!

that song really gave me the "nature" feeling :) Good job!

yeah it was good, but you should re-record the finger picking part since it is looped at the moment and it is obvious where the seam is, to the point of detracting from the song. At least I think that's what happened. Plus try practicing the song with a metronome or drum machine, your tempo changes a bit here and there, which is ok for a piece like this but it is a little obvious in a few places and it doesn't sound intentional. Overall the tempos fine though and a re-record would almost definitely fix it.

Just a few small things, but otherwise it's a great song. Like I said try re-recording it and either not looping the finger picking part, it sounds like it repeats three times throughout the song, so maybe just record them all at once. I am not sure a finger picked part is going to ever loop very well especially with the ambient buzz you are getting in the track which doesn't sound bad at all but when it loops it makes it very obvious thats all. Maybe it could be EQed out?

No idea but for some one only playing a year, I'd say your doing very well indeed. Nice tune man. The other ones good too.

thanks! yea the loop thing was actually somewhat accidental..i didnt really plan on this piece it jsu sorta came together..good advice though ill keep that in mind in the future...there were many things going wrong with the software and hardware that hindered a better quality recording...when i plug my headphones in i cant seem to hear my playing at all with the mic pointed at the guitar..it used to work but for some reason it doesnt work anymore..and the software keeps stuffing up (i use audacity) like it tends to stop recording halfway thru a take it pisses me off...grr..ah well..im trying to get proper stuff now so hopefully that will change..

again, thanks for the input! appreciate it heaps

Another nice start to the day! Cool Friday morning feeling.... :)

Pity about the cr*p office PC speakers. Still sounded good though.
Can you play "Far Far Away?"

Yes - how far would you like?

Haunting and spacey dood.
You've got that kind of Raine Maida (Our lady peace) voice going on there.

This song is real...i get that feeling from it.

If possible, id recommend pushing yourself a little more vocal wise- not so much to sing better, but to do more.

Enjoy it - it's your last chance anyhow.
