It could use a change of chord every now and again to help create some dynamics.
Each section just seems to amble along before morphing into the next. It would help if you could introduce a little tension/resolution to help move the piece forward. Think of the 'classic' (but nonetheless effective) turnaround in a 12-bar blues, or the tension created by a suspended fourth chord before it resolves to the major.
Thanks but each verse has four chords in it and the chorus section has another three chords in each chords totally out at seven chords for the verses & chorus sections only then another three chords for the bridge section thats a total of TEN chords for the whole song . Also theres a mix of three finger & four finger chords throughout the song .
I'm really happy with the song the way it is but hey you have your likes and dislikes nothing wrong with that , I'm pleased with all elements and the work I put into the music I created from the orginal song I created back in 2009 .
Another thing is I have already recorded some vocals using the old lyrics and it works perfectly , the lead guitar and all the other song elements all fit perfectly with the old lyrics .
My plan is to take the old lyrics and change the words but sing it the same way as before , just haven't gotten that far yet but I'm working on it .
Thanks for your thoughts but I have a GREEN LIGHT in my mind & ears -James
