Audio: Untitled Song

[Wjames]

There's nothing wrong with this as a demo for a song. Do you have a band? If you do, you play with them, and after a while you get something special. Add words to a bridge, sing it a little higher, like people do; add some more verses, and play around with some solos, and it'll work.

The words are all right. They can stay as they are, just add some more verses. Two more verses would seem right for a song like this. When you get behind a microphone and P.A. with a band, you naturally sing louder, with more expression. You have a good enough voice for that.

If you have a band, you probably know all this already. And you should record that and post it.

I've been playing guitar for less than 6 months, and I've been teaching myself (well, the internet's been teaching me) as a student without much time. I don't have a band or anything yet, I've just been trying to get better at guitar while writing down anything I do that I like while messing around.

One of my roommates has been in lessons and stuff since he was a kid and can play pretty much any instrument you put in front of him. He's into jazz and is brilliant on piano (but the only piano he has is at his parents house and we can't bring it up), and in a year or so once I have a backlog of 10 or so mostly finished songs and don't suck quite as much I'm going to show them to him and see if he can help me tidy them up.
