What is really amazing is that you wrote this song while drumming.
 



^^^^^^^^^
 
Nothing much to add to the comments above - really cool song.  The chord progression is clear and the vocals sound great (is that a phaser?).    Yeah, the guitar timing could be tightened up in a few spots but that doesn't bother me much since it has a classic (read: un-quantized) feel.

Voda La Void , that was very good  
I like how you played your guitars in a traditional capo styled voices and the treated them to the type of panning and effects that one would hear in some of the Cakewalk synth demos ..where the sounds are in a state of constant movement on the soundstage ...
I can hear the Led Z.. type of thing on the guitars , also I was getting an Aerosmith Dream On type of vibe on your vocals in a few places …
very good production …as far as your chord progresions ..Yeah I heard everything ..
I'm used to playing and listening to very sophisticated chord changes and i felt yours were logical ... 
normally I always listen first and then maybe read other peoples coments ..
I do understand what Robbie was saying and bringing up when he mentioned that at times the song sounds like a long intro …
i personally think it was a great listen as it is now , yet I am willing to agree w Robbie that if you ever was able to bust in with the drums and a full band that it would take this song way over the top ….
an easy way for you to experiment and accomplish that would be to make a separate project of the electric version at the same bpm  …and then slice and dice the 2 things together in places in an audio editor to see if that would work for you or not.

At first I thought the vocals seemed a bit harsh but as I got used to what you are doing I really liked them.  So interesting.  You have a good range.  I really liked your song!

Thanks Daryl and Robby for the listen.  Suggestion noted, since I have a heavy version of it I may play around and splice them together. 
 
rebel - man I hear you, I would have preferred a tighter performance myself but I struggled to play it clean, especially hitting that first chord of the main riff clear and bright. 
 
Leadfoot - I'd like to take your advice on removing the plosives, I knew I could hear something...  HP filter huh..
 
Thanks Creating Noise, I think we're seeing eye to eye on this one, ha ha.  I was actually inspired by Zeppelin's Battle of Evermore.  Love the dreamy style acoustics with soft/aggressive vocals. 
 
bapu - well thank you very much mr bapu, sir
 
stevec - I've got plain ole Cakewalk flange on the vocals, thanks for giving it a listen. 
 
Thanks URIELSUITE and evadianepug - glad you guys liked this one, I was really hoping it would appeal. 
 
kennywtelejazz - I'm definitely going to try splicing this up with the heavy version and see if it can still feel unique enough for me and not too predictable.  And yeah I panned the guitars and back up vocals fairly extreme too.  I'm glad everyone's hearing the music change.  I didn't want to have to lay a bass track and mess it up...(but then again...)  Thanks for the review Kenny, much appreciated.

Oh I love bass Robby.  An instrument I never appreciated until I started playing and recording it, and really using it to write.  But I don't feel it on this one..

I thought this was really very well done!
 
The guitars on either side compliment each other very nicely and the vocals are outstanding!
 
Very well done!!!

Thanks Wookie, much appreciated.  
 
Guitarpima, thanks a bunch for your kinds words.  Vocals are the weakest link in my music, to me, so it's nice to know when they turn out good.  
 
Incidentally, for those who were suggesting I bring in drums, bass, some dirty guitar work as a mid-song destination...I am working on exactly that, along with a number of other tunes.  Should be interesting...
