You’ve definitely more ‘tone’ or ‘body’ in the lower notes.

The high notes are on pitch so I would keep going, definitely not a lost cause.

Hi Bytron that was a good effort well done mate! In terms of your question I guess it all depends, I don’t mind a bit of falsetto as long as it’s only a bit. I perhaps wouldn’t go for a full verse of falsetto, rather just a delicate accent here and there. But that’s mine opinion and you know what they say about opinions, you have as many of them as you have butts around the world :rofl: all the best!

Great falsetto and loved your strumming technique.

Hi Byron,
Not sure on the high (head voice?) singing? I would need to hear it both ways.

One thing I will suggest though is to maybe dry out the reverb a bit. It is placing your vocals behind the guitar. Sort of like the guitar is in front of you and the vocals are way back in the background, in a cave. I’m exaggerating of course, but the is something there in what I am relating. IMHO, you could bring down the verb a good 80% and replace it with a proper delay if you have that on your end? You should immediately hear the vox jump to the front with the delay on and the verb off, or in using just a little. You will still get the effects of a reverb type sound, but without the hindrances that it brings to the table.

Overall, great effort and interesting!

Nicely done Byron. Another great song choice.

For me I’d not bother with the falsetto. I don’t think it really brought anything to the song but fair play on giving it a crack.

So my bro finally decided to get a bass and ive been tinkering around on it a little heres what i have learned so far on it! Its similar to playing a acoustic so cool! :slight_smile: Wild Thing Bass Cover - YouTube

Looks like lots of fun there Byron!:smiley:

Just watched the YT lesson. Thanks for pointing it out. Will add this one to
my song list. Cheers

Np! Have fun! Now to see what other songs i can get into

I was stoked when I learned how to play the bass part to “Hey Joe” by Jimi. It’s not that hard with a little practice. (I split my practice/learning time between guitar & bass).

You’ll be a one man band soon Byron.

Nice bassing.

Thanks!

Hello Byron,
Thanks for your video :slightly_smiling_face:.
To be honest, I’m quite new on my guitar journey and I’ve no clue about bass guitar :sweat_smile:, but nevertheless I wanted to say, that I really enjoyed your performance :grinning:.
Playing Bass seems to be much more complex, than I thought it would be :flushed:.

Hey Nicole! Thank you so much! Dont worry, this was a really difficult piece for me at the beginning. Dont sweat and just keep at it. Since your a new beginner i suggest looking at a song like wild thing on a regular guitar.

My bro has been learning and playing all day and hes catching on pretty quick! :slight_smile: Cant wait till we can actually jam together. Couple mistakes but not to bad. Cheers! Hope you guys like!
