No Not at all, but I thought i remember you saying something about not knowing him a while back. I like the cover, Im gonna learn it myself now.

Mind showing me the tab you used???

He just uses angelfire to link to a separate site.

I thought the cover was pretty damn good. The guitar work was pretty much spot on. The vocs couldve used a little more emotion, but I'm guilty of the same thing most of the time. One thing about all your recordings in general: they sound a bit out of tune. I dont know if its your recording program or what, but listen to the intro of this a bit. Its just a bit out of tune.

yeah, it's only the html file on the server of AF. The mp3s are hosted somewhere else...

What you think of my first attempt to sound like Ben?

I didn't play it like that exactly, but I think it gives you the basic idea of the song, have fun...

dude, it was really good, again great voice. but your guitar was WAY out of tune. other than that, it was great. you have such a great voice and you're really good on the guitar too, but you've had a couple that were out of tune. so work on that, and you're good to go
