A dreamy-sounding cover of Blackbird by the Beatles that I've been working on on the side. I dunno if I'm satisfied with it atm so feedback is much appreciated!

Is that you singing :p ?

I really like this cover! The only thing that bothered me a little was that sound (excuse my bad knowledge of terms: scratch?) that emerges from switching chords on the guitar (especially between 0:52 and 1:00).
I'm guessing that you played a real guitar though, so there might not be much you can do about it :/ The sound does sound cool on certain occasions, but I'd say it might have been slightly too loud at other parts :) At least the 'scratch' creates a sense of realism ;)

Otherwise, I loved this. Everything from the piano and the bass, to the percussion and the strings :D (Don't forget the singit it self! :'D).

Once again, amazing work, and props for making such a good cover of a song that's already good!

GhostLawyer responds:

Yup, that's me. I'm just now getting into singing so I'm trying to work on my vocals. I thought this turned out pretty decent!

Yeah that sound is my fingers sliding on the strings on my acoustic guitar. This song in particular requires me to slide pretty much all the way across the neck at points so it gets a little noisy. I might be able to minimize the noise with better mic'ing or EQ'ing but unfortunately there's only so much one can do :P

Anyhow, thank you good sir! I appreciate it.
