Hi BaoBou,

Such a sweet! intro & then led into more guitar deliciousness, this is really good! work here and I have to say in music creativity is everything I don't think any hard and fast rules need to be followed that's what makes everyone of us unique right? I never follow the crowd I'll be the trend setter for others to follow if anything, but I like what I'm hearing here & I have to agree with our good friend & brother in music Mark, this just needs a little tightening/sharpening up and you'll really have something. The overall idea is absolutely there so if you continue on this trajectory, you'll certainly have a winner! no doubt. I like your voice too. Kudos!

Push this all the way to perfection!

Push this all the way to perfection!

BaoBou. Lovely entrance melody and a solid drum mix that sets the pace. Your guitar adds a layer of life that cannot go unnoticed. Now for your vocals, sorry I absolutely cannot unhear that illustrious Donald Fagen flavor! Just tighten up the overall mix a touch, then push this all the to perfection. For me this is a great track, and thanks for sharing your creativity

Mark

Nice track.
With a bit more work on it, this could become a really good track, nevertheless I like it how it is.
The structure is ok for me, I enjoyed listening the whole song ...
Also very good choice of instruments.

Hi Bao, the basis of your track is promising, I will be careful not to tell you what to do to improve the piece, I think you are qualified enough for that! good job dude!

Ahh, my dear B Hello.
You are a brilliant guitarist and a modest man too.
This is a wow, and it has the wow factor.
I hope it's going into Youtube.
I love it
Well done.

dude i listened to this again your getting way better at what you do there is lots of improvements

by the way was the band Santanna back then not just Carlos

good stuff I wouldn't compare guitar to carols I actually was with him back stage when i was 10 I had a friend handicap her mom worked at Saratoga springs performing arts center in the ticket office we needed good handicap access so was back stage during show 19 80 I believe nice work tho man kep up good work

Great Track. Funk, Rock and jazz ,. Nice change ups in the song.

Nice work - really well crafted song and the guitar work is a standout - yes sounding somewhere between santana and clapton (but leaning a little more to carlos) but very nice - all the other elements sound very nice too to me also(but Im only listening on the laptop speakers so hard to hear the real quality of the mix and production sound. What I can hear though is a fantastic song and great playing : )

That rain is way better.

So what I like about this: 1. guitar, you are what you are an awesome bluesy somewhere between clapton and santana, no issues, no worries. 2. I agree on the percussion and drums, but I believe this song could use a tasteful snare here and there, and maybe a fill or 2 as I like the playfulness of going all out and then reigning it back in again. 3. I disagree with Manu about the piano at 1:20. It just sounds like an old upright piano and it gives the tune character. 4. Your vocals are the best Ive heard so far from you. and I like the doubling effect you used, all and all a really good track and fav'd

very nice ...

I'm listening to this while enjoying a beer so forgive me if my feedback is maybe not very constructive.

2 things:

1) you have to add some strings, this is gonna give it extra depth.
2) a background choir to accompany the lead voice.

For the rest everything is spot on to my ears, your recording is very clean and polished, the only thing apart from the above left to do is re-record the vocals, but you've laid down the foundation for what this baby is going to end up like.

Great work!!!

sung and played with such complete conviction— i wouldn’t change a thing, man. you are like penetrating some far out mysteries here!
thank you for introducing to a new form, the selections you made are masterworks, you give a timeless perf on this. dude did you translate these, that is a hella thing in itself.

You kidnapped Carlos Santana!!

You definitely have enough for an EP, you just need to EQ it a bit to master it i think, maybe a little bit of compression on the master track to blend/glue the rain sample together with the rest of the track.

I use Soundcloud as my distribution service to all other major music streaming platforms. Soundcloud has a 'Pro Unlimited' account where you can ditribute unlimited tracks, you just pay a fixed amount per year but you can ditribute unlimited tracks instead of paying per track to distribute.

Again a nice track with voice Baobou!!
I think you have enough for a ep?
And you have a distrobution service to put it on spotify etc?

Gorgeous piece. Smooth and silky. Ooh la la. Sipping my cup of java while I'm listening. Your musicianship is stellar. I dig the timbre of your voice, it has a unique ring to it, and I think it suits the music very well. Look forward to hearing more of your music. Faved.

Regards

Hello, my dear friend B.
Or should I have called you Mr. Robert Lee Frost?
Mate in this track your voice is really good and clear but really the ear candy is the sound of your guitar.
I loved it mate.
Great track.
Well done

i wouldnt say rain sounds like hail sounds like a movie projector pretty kool track

The material suits your voice well, the track sounds great with it. If I were being picky, I'd say the rain sounds like hail.

You've got good songwriting skills and good overall musicianship.

If you are looking for advice, I'd find a funky lick resource of some kind (tutorials are great), to increase the variance of your fills (across multiple instruments and songs). Then learn each lick in every key (I do them chromatically), so that you have a muscle memory library to pull from (this is an old bebop technique).

When it comes to vocal training, I would practice scales through the 12 keys. There is nothing wrong with your voice. If you want it to sound better (and you are too hard on yourself), you need to develop the muscles (probably via more tutorials). You would be amazed what a little sight singing and ear training can do. Get your 10,000 hrs in and you may scare yourself :)

Food for thought. Hope it helps, keep it up.

I think your track is rather beautiful. It has nature in it, just like the poems. Never fear about your voice man, I like it and on this track they are definitely on the money. A bit of Santana in this maybe.
