Hi guys, for my first song I thought I'd upload my most recent demo. The quality is pretty lo-fi but I think you can easily get an idea of the song and when I get home from school for the summer, I'll record a real version.

It's in DADGAD with a capo on 7 if you were wondering.

Fantastic song, you got it going on.  I love, love your vocal treatment.  I love it.  Great chord changes.  Works so well just like this.  A little bass and drums may also sound good.  Very well crafted song.  I like your style.

Wow, thanks guys. The idea of drums for this song hadn't occurred to me. It would have to be just right though -- fake drums can really ruin a song if not done well. Same goes for bass - sometimes it can be pulled off with software, and sometimes not. I have been considering buying a bass over the summer though just for fun.
