Yeah ignore the idiots i really don't understand what's their point. With all my modesty, I'm a pretty skilled musician, singer and songwriter, and I really liked your song. You sing it good to, but the execution is not even the point. that's good writing man, and THAT is the precious part. There's a lot of good singers on earth, but not much composers. keep up and I'm sure you'll do something with your talent.
Ignore all of those nasty comments other people left, they're just bored and jealous. You are very simple and easy to listen to. A sort of calming effect, which is exacly what Jack and John have. Very well done;)
Your too simple for John Mayer. Your lyrics are kind of like Jack Johnsons and your playing--but your guitar and voice are too far back to reach John. Sorry. Your good for your own style though man. That though, I can respect that. :)
more like the bob dylan meets the plain white t's at a kooks concert. with that said. It wasnt bad. I wasnt blown away or anything. If you want to compare yourself with John Mayer makes sure you make it more jazzy/bluesy and make it more complicated chords and add some walkdowns/little riffs in it. I dont really see the jack johnson in it. JJ is more palm mutes and mellow crisp riffs and jazz chords.
voice 8/10 guitar 6/10 look 7/10 lyrics 6/10 overall 6.5/10 with room for improvement.
Hi, the singing is pretty good, but you must learn better guitar (make it interesting, the chords are very standard, and the strumming also). Especially if you look up to mayer (on of the living guitar gods), you could make it alot more interesting, but you have a great start here. Good luck!
Bone conduction could also be to blame for your surprise of how your voice sounds. However, as the owner of the voice you are a more critical observer than most would be. It is nasely, but it isn't annoying. It was one of the few original youtube songs I enjoyed hearing.
Oh and I'd like to make sure I clarify. You were on pitch 100% of the time, which is like 90% of the difficulty in singing. Once you learn how to raise your pallet and use your diaphragm, you're golden.
Though I agree the singing wasn't perfect. And the guitar at the beginning is a little hollow...
The composition was great. And really all you'd need is a short stint of time and a couple epiphanes about singing and you're already radio material. SO... Get to work. I'd really love to hear you down the road if you take some voice classes. (Oh yeah and nice guitar bridge) And that's not an insult all professional musicians are constantly utilizing tutors.
God dammit, dude. Don't title your fucking video something awesome and have it be something that barely has anything to do with the title. Not that your song was bad, but I was stoked to see a gag video of John Mayer meeting Jack Johnson and having one of them kill the other or something. Preferably John killing Jack. John Mayer fucking rules.
Exactly man, the song's good but because of the name of your video most people will see you and not even give the video the time of day. Good song though!
So there you go, HEY! Whoever you are that sings and plays that song! Step number whatever on your ladder to good-ness, and listen to John Mayer's voice speaking and talking, then listen to his version of Beat It next to the rest of his music, and yes it is him singing.
jack johnson meets john mayer would be awesome, and just the thought of that synergy dimms down your talent becuase it sets huge expectations. your good tho! but not good enough for that title. you need that uniqueness. sry
Nice, all you need is to come up with somethin incredibly deep. That's why jack johnson has so many fans, his lyrics are so insanely well put together. You're on the right track though, the lyrics do remind me of some kind of modern pop song though.
well...nothing like john mayer or jack johnson...nice use of really simple chords though...what are the lyrics? oh right...they dont mean anything so it doesnt matter. keep up the progress and you might develop something though
i like the tune, but the you need to supplement your voice with the guitar more consistently at the beginning... you use very simple chords and then suddenly more complex chords but then fall back into simple later... make the transition once not multiple times. and since you play really well, i'd go for the more complex arrangements
dude dont listen to anyone trying to give you advice on chords and styles and shit. ! let them do what they want and you do what you want. only let yourself bend your style.
Listen to any song and you'll learn that rhythm guitar is just the same chords over and over again. Understanding, or rather assuming from your name that you're more into jazz guitar, then you must also take into consideration that jazz and blues guitar is a lot different then alternative acoustic.
Actually enjoyed the song, and i'd have to agree to an extent that it's a mix of both artists. Good job.
