JW10 Posted April 27, 2015 Author Share Posted April 27, 2015 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sexy Beast Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 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... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bono Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 This is really cool! yes, the rythm/timing is a little unstable in this song but since it is only your voice and the guitar I do not see any problem I've never taken lessons of any kind. Then you are lucky cause you are starting from a high place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
