Nice song you put together here. Congrats, by the way. Welcome to the site. No lessons? Not a guitar lesson for me either, or vocal, which is why I sound like a walking junkyard sometimes.

Great work. Can't wait for more...

There are some lovely chord changes in here. Songwriting is more about instinct and feeling than technical prowess, and you've shown that you have those ingredients in this song. Lovely dreamy vocals and nice mixing. Welcome aboard!!!!  :)

Got that right! The BR is a king of inspiration. I'm generally way out of my comfort zone with stuff I post on here. Post something out of your ordinary and see what happens...might be surprised. Someone even might pick it up and run with it, adding something cool in. CHEERS!

Simple but very effective. As Greeny said (and he really knows!), it's the emotion that matters more than technique in songwriting. If you're not a great soloist, use the song to convey your emotion and you've done that really well here. There's actually potential here to take this further - you could add some more layers of simple guitar lines over the riff you have to create a very lush sound. Well done, and keep them comg (the songs I mean, not the kids, best to have a little pause there).

Cheers,

Nigel
