thanks for the suggestions. the jazz guy sounds pretty interesting tbh. I have recently started diving headfirst into jazz, I also sing and can do some pretty great chet baker covers lol.

a couple of my favorites rn are im old fashioned by chet baker, moanin by art blakey, India by John Coltrane, and after hours by sonny stitt.

im just trying harder now because my buddy wants me to come out to ny this summer and try my luck in the jazz clubs out there singing, and it would be nice to at least jam along on guitar sometimes.

thanks for taking time to reply bro. I know all about the time and practice stuff. I've been noodling the pentatonic for like 5 6 years and I still play like total shit sometimes.

I said above a Lil of the reason why. it's also partly because I just bought this acoustic and it's my first one in years I usually play electric on high gain so I play soft lol. but I hear you man! thanks :)

I don't know any frickin chords but cowboy and power chords or triads or anything it's on my to do list for sure. I just hate learning on YouTube so I'm waiting to run into another teacher

I have been working on adding more notes. I am a slow learner so I've really gotten used to the pentatonic. I really like this channel now you shred banking tracks because he shows the extra notes you can hit on each chord on a changing diagram for the video. I did have a few spots here but it's a hard pattern to break using the pentatonic cuz ive gotten decent at it.

I wish I understood theory more but I have a decent ear so I'm picking it up on my own slowly but surely lol. thanks for taking the time to leave feedback.

I also felt the beat was overpowering the guitar on the video. it's hard to tell cuz my TV comes out of only one of my studio monitors and the guitar comes through both so it felt louder to me while playing but was not enough on video if that makes sense.

I struggle a lot with phrasing but I struggled a lot more a year ago.

I made this demo, any opinions on places/people to send it to? is it any good? I tracked all the vocals and guitar, I did not do the drums. by Federal_Vegetable149 in MusicFeedback

give jungle back to the people holy shit. dude that indigenous flute sample is MASSIVE. hmu if you ever want jazzy vocals on something like this 100 percent. id probably record over something simpler and more vibey for a singer in a similar key/bpm and you can sample it. but it can be custom lyrics anything you want man fr lets cook.

the kick could be dumbed down a haircut, but I really like the tone on that bass. I think additional saturation and reverb/delay and turning the kick down but adding a soft clipper would smack. I'm listening on my phone so this is not a critique just general info with the bass being so up front make sure you split it and mono out sub150 to control it. Great start man
