Hi . I have tried out this song cover. The drums are purely from the mouth and guitar from my single acoustic Broadwood.
Anyway, please tell me where i can improve.

When you usually cover songs you usually input your own style of singing...Though I know Blunt doesn't actually sound much like this but its Blunt-esque [thats how I feel]

Also beat-boxing doesn't really flow well...

). I advise you to listen to the guitar as a guide when singing to get the pitch correct so it doesn't waver around like the voice belongs in another song.

Keep it up.

The beat boxing and the guitar aren't lining up, they're out of time thus making everything fall into the 'out of time mess'-category. Your production skills have grown though since your previous recordings, it's just that I urge you to record every track to metronomic precision to make it all gel together. I actually recognise the song now I hear the chorus (I'm unhip to the radio ). I advise you to listen to the guitar as a guide when singing to get the pitch correct so it doesn't waver around like the voice belongs in another song.

Keep it up.

Uh well...

that is much better advise...

Thank You both 4 the advices. I agree about the recording quality. I didn't focus on the timing

again- THanks for telling.

I really salute your ability to tell its not metronome-ly synchronized. I have a metronome once; but got so bored of interpreting and hearing monotonous ticks.
