Audacity's noise removal tool is a wonderful thing, though I'm sure you kind of hear how it sounds a little "under watery" because of it.

Some clipping... no big deal.

Edit:

Rerecorded, made longer, sounds better.

Good

The guitar was really very good, but repetitive. You definitely should add more stuff to this song like drums, bass, and other instruments. The song could still use a little more
work like adding a solo. Overall, 8/10 4/5! Good work!

MonkeyV responds:

Awesome, thanks!

I personally only own a guitar and bass.
I'm definitely going to be making a guitar + bass song, hopefully soon.

Also, a solo would require that I use distortion, or definitely more gain.
With my current equipment, I would have a pretty difficult time trying to combine distortion guitar with my quiet sad sounding song and make it sound good ):

Pretty damn good guitar work to say the least

As far as a straight guitar solo, this is a damn nice recording, though I think (if you have some samples or synths available) some accompaniment would have made this a lot more interesting. The pauses created a lot of emotion, though something else would have been nice to occasionally fill the space. Or to have at least created a stronger sustained chord at a few of those points would have made this much more interesting.

And even though it's actually sort of cool by itself, everything from 1:51 to 2:26 seemed flat and stereotypical compared to the rest of the track. Really it just didn't even seem to fit the theme I was getting from the rest. But as with the rest of the track, the guitar work is still solid so it's got nothing to do with your skill.

Overall I like this though. Job well done.

MonkeyV responds:

Thanks for the review, and glad you liked it.

I actually like the ending, it has a kind of different feel than the rest, but I think it goes in nicely.

MonkeyV responds:

A bit, I guess.
Thanks for the review.
