Rate x/10 if you have some time to listen?

Need to be louder on next take? I think maybe? Idk comments or remarks for those of you that had some time to listen I'd appreciate it. First upload of one of my songs ever so, need some feedback.

Thanks and listen here:

I think the volume was fine, and overall nice cover; looking forward to some more! how long have you been playing for?

 

Thank you for the feedback man! And, I taught myself music theory with an old textbook using the circle of fifths which I picked up about 3 months ago. So it's been about that long. I took piano lessons as a kid but I didn't like to attempt to sight read sheet music so I taught myself now to play by ear / theory.

But, it is hard to play melodies by ear since you have to pick them out all yourself. I've done it for some songs but it's quite tedious. I haven't finished the textbook yet so maybe I'll pick up some more stuff as I do though. Once I found the circle of fifths I basically used it for everything and just took off.

Won't bore you with the story though. And again, thanks a lot for the feedback! I'll record some more of my songs I already know and upload them to soundcloud maybe tomorrow or in a few days when I get the time.
