It's a weird song for sure, but your tone is much improved over your last clip.

Re: so, how's the playing v2.0
the tone has improved, but i still don't think it's very good. i think it's a combination of your eq, picking and left hand accuracy, and uneven picking dynamics. maybe try some compression on your clean tones, up the mids, lower the bass and treble.

Re: so, how's the playing v2.0
i dig how you just 'go for it' from a creative sense - in the long-run, that's really what its all about ... perhaps with age and maturity you will find the discipline needed to improve your accuracy in picking and consistency in rhythmic meter ... your note choice is improving, but you still hit a lot of clams out of what sounds like sloppiness .... the tone is still just not too good, but at this point, i dont think you need to worry about it ... i do think it is cool that you are not just another kid bashing out cliche teen angst noise ... you have something in there that you are working on getting out and i think that is very cool

Re: so, how's the playing v2.0
Makes me feel like I've taken illicit drugs!
You really really got something there..
The whole thing sounds weird but pretty cool, seems to me you really have talent for weird things (wich is great the world needs this kind os weird)
You do have a few problems there..
1 - The recording isn't that great
2 - work on your picking and strumming techniques
3 - work especially hard on your dynamics, you don't have a constant picking technique, sometimes it just sounds very strong, and then very soft, or really harsh, makes it very unpleasant
4 - work on the mix, the rythm is too loud in some parts.
Please don't take this the wrong way.
How to improve:
1 - Try different picks, and your fingers, try to understand dynamics, they're not easy to master, but believe me they're are EXTREMELY IMPORTANT!
2 - Get a simples scale, forget about speed, and just focus on getting a clean nice, even sound. Try different picking styles and muting the strings, play the scale very softly then harder each time, then soft again, then try to alternate between the two, do the same for the strumming.
3 - Play your electric unplugged, really helpsto hear how the notes sound clean.
4 - Practice, practice and practice! I know these may sound boring, but they're very important, believe me!
5 - Instructional videos you may wanna check:
-Danny Gatton - Strictly Rhythm (The guy is the master of dynamics)
- Paul Gilbert - Intense Rock I and II (he dedicates a part of the video to how important dynamics are and how to improve with simple exercices, plus he's a cool guy)
Hope this helps, and I hope next time your tone will show even more improvement. Really cool ideas in the song, just need to practice more, to make it sound better tonewise.

Re: so, how's the playing v2.0
Just heard it.
It sounds good bro, but a few pointers:
1: as said before work on your dynamics.
2: Get that leadtone alot fatter, too thin, try cranking your amp if possible, this helps alot in fattening tone.
3. When you play over this stuff, sit down with the rhythm track, listen to it and find out what you want to do. Where you want it to start and end, what do you want in there, which scale will give you what you are looking for, sound and melody wise. And try to create a big image with melodies, than 10different licks.. Listening to Michael Schenker is a great help on this area.
4:Work a big on your vibrato.
Other wise it was cool bro, and dont take it the wrong way, just some good advice
