from the subdued volume acoustic apartment series . i made the "drums" with bundles on a hand drum, rubbing my banjo's skin, and tapping an sm58 with my thumb for the kick

Your time while playing the guitar is better than a lot of musicians. Vocals are fine too, it sounds good and gets better as the song goes on.

Mick Taylor does that chromatic noodling over the original version, so I was trying to play a lot in spirit of that. Thanks Cor

I like it. Did you do the whole track, lead and backing vocals? The lead vocals sound good but there are times where it sounds a little forced and unnatural. I really liked the backing vocals though. I love the tone of the guitar, that sounds great.

[Kahn]

ya. tips on how to improve on that?

You're asking the wrong guy. My vocals are awful, it's been a constant battle for me to just let go and sing so it always sounds like I'm holding back. I don't think you have that problem. To me it just sounded like you knew what you wanted the vocals to sound like ahead of time so you tried to stress that instead of just singing in your natural voice. If I remember correctly it was you that posted an RA style version of Times Like These? I thought your vocals were spot on for that tune.
