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
