Raven (no singing cause i suck at it)

Post by dustin10 »

I suck at singing so I didnt even try and im not that good at guitar either. Never really heard a Raven cover on this board so I thought I would try it. Not that hard of a song, although the fingerings can be tricky at times. Anyway i have a crappy mic and a crappy guitar so be gentle. Strings buzz a little bit at a couple parts but im too lazy to redo it.

intro was a little iffy. slide needs to be a little smoother (sounded like you gained a beat there). but a darn good start, keep it up. It's actually not that hard to sing to, just take some deep breaths cause a few parts take a lot of air.

well...

first, your timing is a little bit off. Your adding a beat and have the emphasis in the wrong place.

second, you missed a couple chords... but thats expected.

Overall though, the effort was good and with a lot of practice you will definately do great. If you would like me to make a video of this song for you, please let me know.

I would love a video of this song, I have been working on it but can't seem to keep the rhythm or hit the slide...

Thanks,

not bad at all dude, but I think you struggle with the rhythm of the strumming hand. Just keep it going...
