Geez, I don't think I was this good after a whole year of playing, when I first started hehe. But then again I had no connection to other musicians and didn't have any training. When I eventually learned to tune my guitar (thank GOD for electronic tuners hehe) then I began learning everything by ear. Every now and then I would accidentally stumble across a technique and try to recreate it. Once I learned a few parts of popular tunes, I started progressing pretty quickly. However, it wasn't until a year ago that I started studying music theory. I would highly reccomend studying theory.. it is certainly the meat and potatoes for song construction. I have been playing over 20 years now and I'm amazed at how much more interesting my song writing skills have become just because of 6 months of theory lessons.

Great job here, man! I'm duly impressed that you have been playing for such a short time. Lovely clean tone as well.

nice work.

Just one comment, you are attempting to be a little over creative in places. Hell I do it all the time & guys tell me to tone it down, it is easy to do. Try playing what you feel and try not getting too overtechnical. Tone is nice and it is pleasing to the ears.

good work rock on

Thanks Keihan for Your comments, I heard it takes a good 2 years to become decent, use almost all My free time to practice, its fustrating, but I pick the guitar up even when I don't feel like it and over time You start to see a difference after many baby steps, I guess if it was easy everyone would be doing it, theory is good advice, just need to see some progress before I would tackle that, thanks again Bro, take care.

Hi Macman01:

You are very right way over done without the experience to pull it off, after hearing it a few times I was not to happy with that over done sound, but I like the critique, helps Me out thanks for the honesty, guess its time to rework it after, funny when I record I make more mistakes, little nervous. Take care.

Regards, Rich

macman01 · 05-21-2006, 02:55 PM

I hear you Rich.

Whenever I go to record i feel slightly more pressured & nervous. It is hard just to relax and play whilst recording. It just takes a lot of practice. I am still very much in practice mode. One of the guys on this forum gave me some useful advice...he said..."know the tune backwards and forwards then when you record it you will nail it"......Now for this one we were jamming and I still think you did a great job as that rule does not really apply.

We will get there

cheers Mark
