Newbie looking for crits :)

Talmir · June 27th, 2009, 09:50 PM

Hello.. I´m on a quest to become passable as a blues player.. And for such I need critiques on areas to work on. I posted a song a while back where I was told not to play so carefully and dig more in.. I have been trying to work on that and recorded a little track tonight. If you´d check it out and give me comments and critiques that´d be grand :D

The song:

The comments I have gotten so far from my non musically oriented buddies is "practice awesome endings".. useful, heh

keep working at it Talmir, you will get smoother at it.the track seemed too busy...why not just try one rhythm track and do some lead over it, just two guitars in it...plus your guitar was out of tune to my ear...just keep practicing and working at it....I have been playing over 20 years and sometimes feel like I have only just begun...it can be frustrating but yet at the same time quite rewarding when you get to the next level....:)
