I recorded this using a LP with P90's > Roland Micro Cube into a Line 6 TonePort > Audacity. I got the backing track (renman's winter E) from the internet

I like the tone, but would like some recording ideas as to how to make it sound better. I've been recording for less than a month and playing guitar for about 6 months, so any help would be greatly appreciated as well as much needed.

Also, any help with my structure, expression, etc., would be appreciated, too.

I'm with tsidewinder. The guitar tone meshed well with the backing track. FX can be a good thing, but they're also abused and/or grossly overused sometimes. If you can play well "clean" without a lot of distortion and fx to cover your mistakes, you're a lot better off than a sloppy player who "hides" behind their effects. I've seen too many "wannabe shredders" who sound great with a ton of grind and delay dialed in, but wouldn't sound like much of a player at all if you plugged them straight into the amp and made them play clean. Effects should be used to enhance the guitar, not as a crutch. Thus endeth my "mini-rant."

+1 on the comments about nice playing also. You did a great job on that. It's all the more remarkable considering that you've only been playing for 6 months!

GeetarGal,

That was super playing and recording in such short time.
I was lucky to get through 3 chords and still am.

I dug the bluesy tone myself. I also thought you have a nice vibrato.... awsome job.
