Some new stuff that came from unfinished old stuff

and still a bit rough around the edges

1. Not too shabby mate ...

I hear hints of Elliott Smith (he's kinda my 'king of acoustic lo-fi'), maybe a bit of Lou Reed & Peter Murphy on the vocals ... and they're kinda Nick Cave-like too.

I kinda feel like it needs a chord change & maybe a chorus in there but if the 'chorus-less 2 chord dirge' is what you're going for, cool

I think it'd be cool if you recorded your own harmony, at least 1, rather than rely on the vocal harmonizer-thingy (what are you using for that?), those are really hard to get sounding natural in my experience.

2. Thanks, man

For the complements and the advice.

3. n/p I added one more too to original message ... with a question.

4. Yeah. I was thinking that too.

Gonna work on the GTRs next. Will probably rerecord it all. This thumbnail is just the closest to shareable it has been. I wanted here in this forum for exactly the kind of feedback you posted.

5. So I picked up my axe ... that's C and some form of A ...

I don't know chord names beyond the basics but the A with fingers only on 3 & 4 at the 2nd fret (not on the 2) sounds cool with the C.

I think Em-C would work as a good change/chorus pair ... could also go Em-G but that 'happy-fies' it a lot, changes the feel. If you wanted a more 'hopeful-sounding' bit at the end, G works for that.

6. Not going for hopeful

Bauhaus/Peter Murphy is more the feel Im going for. More gloom and anxiety.

7. S'what I figured ...

So the G is right-out!
