While My Guitar Gently Weeps (cover version)

This is the first rough version of the song - done in about 1 1/2 hours

I think the song needs something but I don't know what yet :(

In any case I'm happy so far with it but I can't wait till I'm done with it :D

Hmm, I'm still on my first listen, but here's something that really stuck out: At the end of phrases, particularly the word "weeps," there's some powerful dissonance between the voice and the guitar, and too me sounds like too much dissonance. It obscures the melody. Actually, after the instrumental bridge it sounds good, I'm not sure exactly what you did differently. After I've listened a few more times I'll see if I can isolate it.

It sounds pretty good so far. The original is by far one of my favorite songs.

thanks for the comment - I'm gonna try to fix that piano/guitar part at the beginning where the piano plays the wrong notes and it sounds a bit off

I don't exactly hear the dissonance between the guitar and vocals but I'll keep looking for it

here's the *final* mix (I redid a few things, so I would listen to this if I was you :P)

Alrighty here's what I heard (I like it btw :D)

But yeah the beginning is still off a little bit--If you could fix that, that would be good.

Also--Make the drums just a touch louder--Sometimes you can't hear what is being played (i.e. Toms & high-hat)

Btw--The drums are being played by who? And if it is not a person--Is it some sort of recording from like acid or something? I have a few ideas of how you can put more of a PUNCH into it. Try making the bass kick louder so that way it will have that certain punch--And when the music goes into the chorus (I believe that is the part where it goes "I don't know why...", instead of high-hat--Switch to the ride. And on those few rolls that the drummer is doing--Try going faster, it is possible, and it'll sound cooler :D

Also, your vocals seem kinda sharp or flat on certain parts of the recording. If you make your voices sound clean, it'll make all the difference in the world :)

I really like it though :D

thanks for the feedback - for the drums I stuck as close to Ringo's drumming as possible (because he has great style) so I'm just gonna maybe thicken em up a tad

I think the vocals could use a bit cleaning up so I'll go back and fix those minor things later :)

After listening a few more times, I'm thinking the dissonance I heard might actually be between the vocal melody and harmony. One of them is slightly flat on the word "weeps" at least two times. Maybe I'm just hearing ghosts....

My roommate from last year approved of it (he's a huge Beatles fan) so I know I captured it :cool:
