Rate my soundclip (First Post!)

[Fuki San]

Howdy. I'm new to the boards as of today. My name is Dan, and I've been playing since September when I got my first guitar on my 17th birthday. Today I made a recording out of a rhythm I wrote, and a solo I improvised. The quality isn't perfect but it gets the point across. Please give me your opinions and suggestions. My sincere thanks.

That's not bad at all! Congradulations on your quick development! Awesome!

One thing, the lead tone is extremely buzzy and sterile, but you have a nice lead over that nonetheless. I'd also work on your dynamics as a player, try using some hammer-ons, pull-offs, and throw in some accentuations on some notes. It'll give you leads a more lively and emotional feel.

Great work! Keep it up.

That was a nice "intro" riff / solo. I can hear big chugging chorus slamming in after that The song definitely has potential!
