Overall good. The guitar is solid, and your voice is a good kind of unique. The timing was a little off in parts, but that's no big deal as you can just spend more time to get it perfect. My biggest concern is that you may not have the right range to sing the low parts of the song. I'm the same way myself....as dave is getting older and his voice is mellowing out/lowering, I find it harder and harder to sing his new stuff. You can try playing with a capo a few frets up so you won't have to sing so low, or you can just work at stretching your voice over time with a lot of practice. Keep up the good work and I look forward to more in the future.

This might sound a little rude, but I am guessing you are pretty young? I don't want to insult you, but you sound about 14.. the guitar work is great if you are that old :-p .. if you aren't.. your voice needs some work. :mrgreen:

listening as i type

solid guitar playing. maybe a little off on some of your rhythm, but not too bad. not really the beat, just the beat of the song. you missed where you were supposed to change the chords in the place. so your rhythm was never really off, just the actualy palying of the song was a little off at times.

solid vocals in the beginning. i agree w/ geekmug, you sound a little young, but hey, you can't help when you were born. the second was a little raw, but its hard to jump an octive like that. so keep practicing

id say decent cover. what was the little noises at the end, that was kinda cool. to improve id say don't be afraid to wail, especially in those last parts of the song, you can't sing that high and hold your voice in like it soundsl ike you're doing. also, you should play the song along w/ dave a couple more times. you got off a little, especially there in the end. but keep it up, practice practice practice.

Hey thanks guys.

I am young, I turned 15 in July. My voice still isn't really developed, and thats why I can't really sing.

So thanks for the comments, I really appreciate it. (Even if the were negative) :)
