Topic: My first song

I've been playing guitar for a little while but never really bothered writing any songs until my fiance nagged that I've never written one for her. So, I bashed one up and here's the result: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qEtWZq84rrM

Feedback greatly appreciated!

Re: My first song

Well, I am having issue understanding much more than the chorus, but it's pretty cute!  My husband keeps asking me to write him a song too, and I haven't been able to yet.  I finally learned how to play one that he asked me to.

I really like the chord progression, the song has a nice feel to it!  smile

Art and beauty are in the eyes of the beholder.
What constitutes excellent music is in the ears of the listener.

Hi Chris,
Nice to meet you.  I'm kinda there with mekidsmom.  Your vocals are weak so I didn't get as much out of the singing as I should.  I do like the melody.  Your guitar work is excellent.  Much better than my ancient strumming.  All in all though, not a bad first effort.  You can be proud of what you've created.

Good work sir,

Re: My first song

Hello Chris,

Your wee song is great.  A good catchy chorus is always a winner with me..I was singing it
before it ended.

Very well done..

Can't get the audio on this, Chris. I'll try again.
