Stand Up - in celebration of my 3rd guitar Anniversary.

Congratulations on all six (early relationship) celebrations.

Yes congratulations! Glad your liking you new bass.

For me the track could do with some rhythm guitar work behind the lead parts to elevate and make it sound bigger, and there’s some sections with pitchy guitar that just needs a little tweaking from 1:38 onwards and 2:25.

I think that's great for the amount of time you've been at it. I enjoyed that. You didn't over play and that guitar is fat!!!

I'm at 45 years of guitar and singing. I think it's probably approaching 20,000 hours. I couldn't do this after 3 years.

Nice work! I have been putting tunes together for fun since the 80's. I would suggest skipping real drums and buying a cheap electric set. Musicians Friend usually has Simmons deals for $200-300 on Stupid Deal. In fact they just had a mesh set for $249 last week. As long as you do not do too much dynamic work they are great.

After you get a cheap set you need a good Drum plug in for your DAW. Been using Addictive Drums and love it. I also have EZ drummer which is pretty cool also. I later bought a good Roland set but the Addictive Drums sounds 10x better.

I went the full real set route. I have like 20 mics, 18 channel mixer, compressors, etc. It always sounds different and never very good. The heads go out of tune, you need a big room, cymbal bleed, Moon Gel everywhere, blah blah blah.

Between the Kemper and the electric set. I can fully record a song in like 20 minutes and have it sound pretty decent (besides the playing).

Here is a sample tune played on $199 simmons set with free Addictive Drums plugin that came with my DAW.
BBO Let You Go

Stay with it Killer! The road goes on for ever and the party never ends.

Sounds excellent, you've come a long way in a short time and you should be proud of yourself. The bass sounds great also.

I'm in no position to critique anyone but the only thing i'd say is what Per mentioned, i'd possible add a rhythm guitar to complement the melody riff and fill it out a little. This is only my personal preference of course.

Great job, keep it up

Excellent! I love to hear about people starting out, and just learning new things. You've clearly worked at it and have put together a good track. Congratulations and well done for putting it out there!

From my learning journey, the big moments of moving forward were nearly always through playing in a band and standing up in front of a crowd. Focuses the mind...! The other big moments are when I've tried to record, and then realised how difficult it is to lay down a good track...so, again, well done!

Well done on your musician road , that's quite an achievement in only 3 years ! Singing is the next step for sure , I try to train myself singing each day, it's really an art that benefit from a long run practice as my vocal strengthen each week .

About the track : I could suggest you moving the whole guitar track a bit forward to the drum track as you probably used a delay for the main riff. It will help to tighten the whole feel. try adjusting exactly to the drum track then move forward ( to the left in you daw) until the groove is right.

in other words : using a delay while tracking is great for your own feel , but you have to align your guitar track to compensate the delayed attack.

I had no idea you have been playing for only three years. VERY impressive

Well done and congrats!
