Thanks a lot Code Eater!
I actually use a vocal mic to record the playing, it works surprisingly good.
About the rhythmical error, I noticed that a few times as well, I've always had problems keeping rhythm for long periods of time, I'm working on it though.
No worries, it sounds pretty much the same all the way through anyway
Again, thanks a ton for your input, it means a lot.
Quote: "your guitar has a beautiful tone, and your playing has a nice touch.your doing well, nice work.
I have a recording recomendation, When recording a track with no percussion which you are going to overdub guitar tracks, i would use a metronome and then remove it after recording.
even if you just record mute strumming on your guitar for the feel, it can eliminate that hanging feel that you get when your second take timing shifts differently to your first.
also if you are going to loop sections like the backing track then i strongly recommend using an exact metronome so the sample loops correctly (don't know if you actually looped it, its just some of the sections had very similar fingerprints in them)
but quality wise, that must be a nice mic, your recording sounds great.
slight compression issues at the start, dont know what happened there, might have been a post mixdown converter error or something, came good for the second half though, so still got a listen in.
I like the very raw feel to you recording, dunno if it is intentional, but I believe a good clean acoustic recording generally shouldn't be overly processed(my personal taste) and that was nice.
good work and keep going, keep choosing more and more technically challenging pieces to stretch areas you feel need work. thats about the only thing a can think of to say to help you improve.

I actually used a metronome when I recorded, though I still got a few rhythm errors throughout the recording, I guess I need to practice more
I didn't loop anything, I played each layer fully, I tried to loop but it felt choppy and it sounded too repetitive. I thought it felt more genuine when I played the whole thing from beginning to end.
About the compression, I think it's because I moved around a little to get the best distance from the mic, hence the slight differences in volume.
It was actually my goal to make it sound raw and I wanted to give it a "late evening at beach guitar feel". Don't know if I pulled of the later but I've been told that the rawness is nice from other people as well.
Thanks a bunch, I'm thinking about covering Map of you Head by Muse later in the future, I just gotta get down the melody on guitar.
