Members Tele_32 Posted January 24, 2007 Members Posted January 24, 2007 Well, I have been trying to record some songs and I am looking for others opinions on them. Now keep in mind that they were recorded in a dorm room with one mic. My playing skill is nothing special, but I am just trying to get it in jive with my singing. So, tell me what you think good or bad lay it on me. I am always looking for ways to improve. Thanks. http://www.purevolume.com/dwight

Thanks.http://www.purevolume.com/dwight What I like most about these recordings is that the songs are put together really well, both regarding the music and the lyrics. They have character, originality, balance and are catchy tunes, simple as they are. Now, in my opinion the ability to write good songs is the most valuable by far. Having said that, there are some points of criticism as well: Your voice has a nice sound, but you definitely need to take singing lessons, it isn't in control yet (I definitely can't do it better, I don't sing at all, but that's what I hear). This is especially noticeable in the first two songs. As for your guitar playing: that has to improve as well, you have to be able to vary your rhythm more. But as I said: the core is there, good songs.
Members Tele_32 Posted January 24, 2007 Author Members Posted January 24, 2007 First of all thanks for the honest post that is exactly what I am looking for. I probably have only been playing and singing for about 6 months now, so I obviously understand how much improvement I can gain there. The first two songs are covers, so I was trying my best to get close to the same sound as the original artists. That might explain a little of the uncontrolled sound you heard. The last two are originals that I wrote the lyrics and music for, so that might be why they may be a little better. Thanks again and keep the replies coming.
