I did a cover of To Sheila
I've been playing guitar forever, and recently decided to take on singing (finally) by hiring a vocal teacher. I've only been at it for a month, so please be gentle. But here I'm attempting to approximate the studio version of the song, with vocal layers and guitar layers.
sorry i can't embed, I'm netpho ignorant -- here's the link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PO3MkWdU1tI |

Soothing vocals, I like it. The guitar is obviously perfect, from my standpoint at least.

Side note, I think I have seen a few of your covers before, not knowing it was you. Speed Kills sticks out as awesome and memorable. Your own personal flare is a definite enhancement.

You gotta click the "Share" button under the video on YouTube, then select the "Embed" option, and copy and paste that whole thing here
So this stuff AND WALLAH Lovely instrumentation here; you've got the etherial quality of the original down pat. What's it like working with a vocal teacher? I'm embarrassed just like singing happy birthday in a crowd and I always wondered if hiring someone could get me to the level of halfway carrying a tune |

This is fantastic, and your voice is quite good. If you didn’t say anything about working with a vocal teacher, I would’ve assumed you’d been singing for years. You’re singing on key, which is the main thing, and the timbre of your voice has a unique sound which will only benefit you. Great job.

How did I not know Paranoid was Adam? Absolutely fantastic cover! The guitar work is hands down the best I have heard of this song outside of the original.

I do know that half the time, if I hit the "Preview Post" button to make sure I did it right before submitting, the video doesn't show up at all, or is otherwise messed up (I forget if I've seen code/text, but maybe?). But when I actually submit it for real, it's fine. |

Imho the vocals only stick out as the weak link because (1) the guitar parts are very cool, (2) Billy's voice is such an integral part of his songs. I think part of it is also the vocal production? Your take (especially the verses) sounds drier, whereas Billy's has an airy quality to it - it's like his voice's echoes compliment the night-time atmospherics. It sounds like they occupy the same physical space, while your voice stands out more.
But the singing is definitely good! I don't want to discourage you. All I'm saying is that the instrumental is a very worthy alternative to the original, while the voice is not quite there yet (but also very far from being embarrassing, etc). |

Also, your voice reminds me of someone else's, but I can't quite place it. Trawling my music collection to figure out who, lol
