help in mixing this song...

Hey I just thought of doing a cover of this song. Please let me know if there are any suggestions and make this mix better.

redo the guitar, it sounds like a one armed man playing ina dumpster

GEAR:
  • Roland Juno-6
  • Gibson SG Standard
  • Vox AC30 Guitar Combo Amp

you had fun making it though, right? that's the point, take what you learned and move on... no sense wasting a lot of energy and time improving a cover song anyway ;-)

yea, it was very tiresome but I enjoyed making it. :D

you need to woodshed on guitar, you're not terribly good at it... at a basic level you lack tight rhythm, but beyond that your playing has no nuance. As a long time guitarist whow as a teacher for many eyars it jumps out at me. It probably will be less obvious to others but they will feel the song is off no matter how you mix things, Nikhil. The up side here is that guitar can be mastered by almost ANYONE with some dedication. Its such an easy instrument to attain competence on. I am not suggesting you shoot for Wes Montgomery or Yngwie Malmsteen, just get to a point where great takes of the simple parts you wish to execute flow naturally first shot without effort. You want to get beyond adequate. Which is the high point of your current performances. For time? I recommend sleeping with a metronome udner your pillow clicking away. Korg's is fine and costs 10 dollars US. For the rest? If you lack a sense ofhow your hands should itneract to produce emotive itnerpretations of a part? Try free online youtube lessons.Many good ones available.

additionally, on second lsiten the guitar is either slightly out of tune or failing to intonate. Try adjusting the neck relief and looking at the height of the bridge saddle... soemthing is wrong with how its performing

and your singing is feels flat across the baord, probably confused by the fact that the guitr is not at perfect pitch , if you mute the guitar it might sound ebtter.... you're just overplaying too, tone down. The guitar is not a tree you have to chop down!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v9bC9CRv9oU I didn't get the correct tempo for this. I don't know why but I'm missing some beats in the metronome when I play the song. What's the time signature of this song?

what the fuck are you talking about? its n common time, count to 4 and then rpeat ya dangus... but when you play, do it with PRECISION! and some dynamics

if yo're going to shar your music with the web get your shit together, you're pulling down the reputation of music as an art form!

can you tell once again what I improve, learn and try not to do with guitar?
