Guitar sounds out of tune.

haha....wasn't exactly the response i was expecting....but ok

Last time I checked the guitar was in tune (I always make sure it is before i record)

You're probably hearing the Dsus2 chord that i'm playing as the first chord in the intro/verse progression (with a capo on the 3rd fret), so it probably makes it sound like it's out of tune.

Any more comments?

Nice song but the vocals seem to lack a certain warmth or "presence" that would make them outstanding. The chord phrasings where not my cup of tea (that doesnt matter) but the mix sounded a little boomy.

Overall a 6.5 out of 10. IMHO

It's pretty clean sounding, but the reverb on the vocals and a few of the guitars seems at some points really overdone and at othertimes nonexistant. Where you automating the levels or what? It sounds kind of unnatural. I'd mix it with a simple, subtle, natural sounding reverb consistently. Seems a little overcompressed at points.

The vocal lacks confidence, too; not that I'm a great singer (I just bury my lack of talent in layers of overproduction), but you might want to do a few more takes and work on the pitch and the overall confidence a little.
