Certainly very moody and emotional. Not what I was expecting from you Rob.  
I can see you put alot of effort into style in this. 

Overall, I didn't like it.  Seems Over-Sold.

Sloppy but I enjoyed this.  You have a very eddie Vedder Pronunciation

No such thing as "good enough for Open mic really".  That's why they are "Open" mics.

definitely ready for open mic

​Funny that you say I sounded country-ish.  I do have a "redneck" accent but I can usually hide it very well in my singing and I would like to shake it if I can but it's pretty hard.
 

And I see that he is going into falsetto but really don't care about copying him.
But I'm noticing that my high notes sound much less full and would like to fix that.  Maybe it's because I was straining a little.

I wasn't really warm when I did this, so I did miss a couple notes. I'm not concerned with perfection and I'm really just goofing around with the guitar at the end. Whatever.  
What concerns me is that I don't like the tone on my high notes.  I think my tone on my low notes is much smoother.  Especially watch the run around 0:21 to understand me.
Please help

SOUL!!!

Well done!

Great job with hitting the notes.  Impressive range.  I can't come near this song.

I would work on your tone though.  But I'm no expert

I liked your cover and you've got a nice voice but...

 

You need to work on your rythm/timing. It is very unstable and that's pretty much the only thing prevent this from sounding very good. Practice your guitar part with a metronome, then add your voice . If you can't keep a stable rythm you will sound unprofessional. Don't be afraid to simplify your comping: try to keep a steady reggae rythm first before adding the little emeblishments that you do. Rythm is probably the most important skill in music not playing fast and flashy, it's even more important than pitch.

 

Your guitar playing could also benefit from a greater use of dynamics: soft, med, loud...

I can keep a rhythm just fine, I was just goofin here.  Trying to focus entirely on my voice.

But thanks I'm glad that you guys think I have what it takes vocally.  I've always been totally overshadowed by my lead vocalist and never really had the confidence to sing much

Dude you sound lots like Josh Homme.

Thanks Elvis.  I recognize your name because I've been lurking this forum a week or so.  This was really just a sloppy One-Take whatever.
I've always just been a guitar player and only sang harmonies. But I'm looking to improve my singing so I can front my own band.

Just me goofing around in my basement.  Please any tips would be helpful; I've never taken lessons of any kind.
