Partly because I'm broke, and partly because I love the sound of old parlour-sized guitars, I'm thinking of buying an old all-solid birch or mahogany guitar like a Stella Harmony and refinishing it. It seems to me like you can get an £800 sounding guitar for well under £200 if you're lucky and...

That's amazing. The ultimate man-cave.

Overall very good, a few little bit off pitch notes (mostly flat) but probably far less than I hit ;) . You have a very good voice and I like your presence.

Thanks for listening, it did actually have a different chorus but this was the better of the two. I've got too many songs I'm currently working on to rewrite it, maybe when I record it for the album, I'll change a few notes with the vocal to be less repetitive and add a few guitar licks. I think...

The simple solution to do what you're asking would be to record a speaker playing your track through a wall and just drop the audio into the mix surely. Don't you have a mic? Whatever you try it will be very difficult to emulate the effect and recording it would be so much simpler.

The feedback I've been getting from a couple of professional working musicians is that the demo's good enough to release "as is" rather than waiting for new guitar (which I'm still a long way from being able to afford so it could be months), so I did some cover art and put it on Bandcamp. Here's...

The Hammersmith by Sonic Couture. It's not a free but this one is the best one I've found. I used it on a track and it sounds pretty good, a little bright but if you add convolution reverb you can darken it. I don't want to be spamming my Soundcloud link to the track everywhere, so if you...

I would say yes to the original question. Not everyone has a good range, not everyone has the confidence to just let it come out, but everyone can learn to sing on some level. It's just another instrument, and like with guitars, some people start out on a laminated piece of crap from the local...

Thanks for the very kind feedback, and thanks for taking the time to listen. I did actually answer your question in a TL;DR post that contained half my life story and then deleted it, I think it's best left to the imagination for several reasons. Y'know, got to keep up the mystique to all five...

Thank you for the detailed feedback, I was beginning to think I didn't exist. The web's a saturated place when it comes to music and it's difficult to get people to listen, so thank you. Regarding the boomy acoustic, you're right. I don't have any headphones (that work) so I had to mix on...

I'm the same, I record everything I've done that I liked, every little riff, and then give it a time, date and chords used title and save it to external HD. I have the philosophy that it piqued my interest when I was messing about on guitar or piano, so there's a good chance it might for other...

I only care about the music, lyrics are something that have to be done to make your music listenable to the average person. It's no fun at all for me and if I could get away with it I'd hum the melody.

Hello people, here's the tune: https://soundcloud.com/alan-hickey-3/desert-river-demo-alan-hickey Link to song on SC https://soundcloud.com/alan-hickey-3/desert-river-demo-alan-hickey I'm new to singing, only started a year ago when I picked up a guitar again out of boredom (after not...
