Feedback please

[rangel0004]

Hey everyone, I'm looking for some constructive criticism/feedback on a couple of my covers. However, I can't figure out how to get a QuickTime movie into a post here. If anybody has a Mac and knows what I'm talking, any help would be appreciated it. Thanks a lot.

Nevermind, i just put 'em up on youtube so I could copy the link over. I'm thinking about doing some open mic stuff around town and just want to make sure I'm not going to make an ass out of myself. Here is I'll Back You Up, the links to the other songs I uploaded are under my name as well. The sync is all messed up but oh well. Thanks for any feedback-positive and negative.

hahah sleeves.

good guitar work, you just need to practice the melody. its a pretty high song a lot of people cant hit it. you should hear my attempt at hitting the note during the 2nd grey street chorus. omg. hahah

VanHorne thanks for the feedback....i know i am completely average and it's always good to hear from an outside source. Your shit is good though, FYI.

guitar sounds good, but the vocals could use a little work. It wasn't bad, but it seemed like you were concentrating too hard on it. Just let it flow

Well, like everyone else said, the guitar work isn't an issue really, could be a little more fluid but it works.

I'm split on the vocal issue, though. One part of me thinks since you aren't that far off when you miss a pitch you can get better with some easy warmups, training. Another part of me, though, doesn't hear you correcting the pitch when you miss it, and in some cases actually go further away, which is a problem. But you hit enough pretty spot on that I think you will be more than capable of singing if you do some basic training.

I posted it on Youtube, but I'll say it here.

Wear headphones while recording, it really helps when you hear yourself.

Thanks everyone..I've never had any vocal training or played for anyone before so its all appreciated
