It is my first attempt to record vocal and guitar live. Sth new for me, so hard at the beginning. I'm waiting for some advice how to do it better.

Cheers

Sounding quite solid man. Very pleasant to listen.

If you want to work more on the guitar recording, I heard a somewhat exagerated lows on the bass line, an eq rolling of a bit of the low end from 100hz and bellow maybe? Be gentle, its just a bit.

The vocals are sounding quite good. I only kinda disagree with your choice on the chorus, even if you use a break there, I would reinforce the open AH, like what he did on the original, only lower in dynamic and in falsetto, would sound killer in my opinion. But this is your call, as it is fitting the song so its perfectly fine.

Another thing that the original has, and its your choice too, is that the guy kinda mumbles the verses, so I would focus more on connecting more on a few phrases, reinforcing legatto, also just a bit man, a phrase per verse maybe just to remind of the original intention, and of course keeping the punctuations you are already doing and that are sounding awesome to me.

Nice job man, really very well executed and sounding quite nice. Not an easy song this one, not at all. :)

What I do when I play and sing at the same time (I play bass and sing in a band) is to learn the bass part with my eyes closed to a click track. Once I can do that, I can sing along pretty well. Good job on this song .

"How do you review? Do you consider your criteria responsible?"

thread. Thank you Felipe for thoroughly review, excellent and modeling feedback.

@Keith Really? Very interesting dude. Bass line, what are you doin when one doesn't exist on the original track?

[Keith]

All our songs have bass lines all the way through lol.
