Hey Phil - man you are tackling a big one here, and I'm keeping in mind that this a Yesterday as interpreted by... Anyway - lots of pitch stuff going on, and in parts you are straining and the vocal get's 'pinched' and more pitchy. Maybe figure out a way to open up more, or try a different key. I think it's really cool that you are stretching out in new directions, including the new laid back bio photo

Thanks for the comments bro. I keep wondering why I'm struggling to sing so high and it's because I'm tuned to E standard and the original is tuned down to D. So, I'm going to tune my guitar down today, bump up the tempo about 30 BPM and play it a shit load of times. Hopefully I'll be able to nail it down and it's all just for fun

I've taken to recording several versions of the basic tracks of my stuff in at least three different keys for practice and to figure out where I get the best vocal. It doesn't take any more than about half an hour to do for a basic three minute song. The tempo bump is a good idea. Also think about not stretching out the last words of the phrases so long. Good luck man -have fun!

Well I tuned my guitar down to D G C F A D and just about everything is easier to sing and easier to play lol. Although I've had a few too many drinking sessions with friends recently and my voice seems to be getting a little raspy hahah.
