Hey guys!

I know this song is kinda wonky but i tried my best on it… It was so difficult putting this one together and trying to get everything tight! Maybe I should use a metronome or something Lol.

Other than that, I think im happy with it.

I put together everything by scratch, hence nothing to follow, so i think i did pretty decent in that regard!

I probably could have done better in the mix, but this one was pretty tough!

I know its not perfect so dont bash me to much Lol!

Any feedback is welcome! Including tips and tricks on what i could improve!

This is one of my favorite Adele songs. It has alot of meaning for me.

Thanks guys!

Hey Byron,

Nice work, great that you can pull together so much on an Adele song from scratch. I thought that the drum beats from your pads and the percussive hits on the guitar were nice, I think it pulled together well.

From a purely preference point of view I might have preferred to have had just slightly slower​:thinking:, but I enjoyed watching and listening :ok_hand:

Thanks CD02 for the listen and comment!

I think it sounds off in some places a little, this is a really tough song to nail down I have noticed!

Thanks for the listening!

Sounds OK to me, especially your acoustic does the job very well. In the chorus I think the accompaniment is a bit too loud compared to the vocal line (it might be just my impression, YMMV of course).

Very good version! I thought your guitar was enough production wise. The drums seemed slightly out of sync and something went off time c. 1:30. The extra guitar and vocal lines worked well. As ever with your songs Byron, this is interesting and enjoyable.

Which midi kb do you use? I’m thinking about buying one.

Thanks beejay!! Yeah I may have to the-record the drums in it again my first take of this song was way out of rhythm so I redid it yesterday, turned out a lot better but still a hiccup here and there!!

Thanks for pointing that out!!

I use a mpk midi keyboard!! Think I payed like 150 for it on musicians friend a couple years back!! I love it!!

Thanks for listening/commenting!! This was a pretty tough song to tackle lol

You’ve put that all together nicely Byron. Captures the spirit of the original.

Thank you Willsie!!

Good one Byron, it’s a terrific song. To be honest, I’d have preferred a simple guitar and vocal version of the song played slightly more slowly. I felt the keyboard effects etc were out of time with your guitar/vocal especially in the chorus sections.
Just my opinion of course. :grinning_face_with_big_eyes:

Thanks Gordon for the feedback!!

I may have to redo it eventually, I did notice when I was playing I would get out of sync in spots.

Not sure what it is, it may be coming from my vocal phrasing in areas that’s messing me up.

This was my second take, guess I shoulda left it in the oven more lol

Just updated it with the new link! with less reverb and louder strings, I think its a tad better but the timing issue is still there.

Im happy with it though! Thanks all for the comments!

Amazing performance, Byron! And it looks like a complicated skillfull production job. There’s so much going on! I have no slightest idea how to do all that, it is just me and guitar yet :grinning_face: I hope someday to reach your level. Well done! :heart:

Thanks Oleg!! I know it’s not perfect but I’m happy how it turned out!! :slight_smile:

Thanks again!

Thanks Coda! I redid the sound of it and uped my vocals, removed alot of reverb and made the strings louder! :slight_smile:

If you have any questions feel free to ask! :slight_smile:
