Scumfuc Waste Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 One thing I'll definitely say: You're a pretty solid singer. You hit the notes correct, or at least correct enough for me to not hear any mistakes. Your vocal performance is totally good. The guitar playing, one thing I'll say about it is it sounds right, and it sounds like you know how to play the song. Here's why I'm not too big a fan: It's like you just did the same thing as the original with less instruments. Now, lots of cover artists do this, they just play the exact same song, sometimes with different instruments, sometimes with the same ones. There's nothing wrong with doing it, but it doesn't truly keep my interest that well. I know it's not about me, it's about the majority, but keep in mind this is all my own opinion. I think it'd be really really cool to hear you change the song a bit, maybe add something new to the song that wasn't there before, or change the melody a bit to fit your style of playing, or maybe re arrange it to sound like another artist, as if someone else wrote it. Or hell, maybe even flip the genre. Or, re arrange it even to sound like a different green day era. Or, anything different you come up with. Creativity is great! But playing what's already been written the same way you hear it isn't showing your creative mind off as much as you can. It shows your ability to play the song, which is cool, but I wanna know what you can do to the song. I wanna know what's up there in your creative mind, what ideas you got floating in your head. But playing this song with an acoustic guitar has been done a million times before you and will be done a million times after too, I wanna hear something new, you know? Overall, this is good for what it is. You did a good job, and it is what it is. But because I've heard this same thing a million times, this is just another cover where I'll just listen once, say "cool mate keep practicing", and never watch again. You definitely can play, and sing, and have enough skill to make something out of this song, but I wanna hear something you made, you know? If you make your own original version of this song, or another song, or even write a new song completely, I will most definitely be interested. Keep me updated!
