Well, I wanted to see what you people think about my playing, so...

I don't have any recording equipment (just a 2$ microphone), but I have Guitar Pro. I attached the MIDI demo and the GP4/5 file.

Be hard on me!

I am not sure I can comment on your playing without actually hearing you play your guitar. Download a free recording program and record your guitar through the mic.

Sure, I'll try. What do you think of the "composition"?

try converting your gp files to mp3 so we can listen.

There are some nice moments in there. Add a G in the bass of your G chords. Add a natural 7 as a passing note in the D chord. That will tie it into the natural 7 in the next chord and make it flow better.
Instead of playing the b7 in the G7 chord near the end, play the open top string which will be a 6. You want to avoid playing natural 7s and b7s in the same tune. Good stuff. As I said add a stronger bass line and add a few notes and it is all good.

  Mp3

So, I recorded it. Fingerstyle, a little bit different, with perhaps, more feel. There's noise when I'm strumming chords, because of the low quality mic, but that's alright I guess (I have to put it into guitar to get sound...)

Be hard on me...

You need to work on smoothing it out and playing cleanly. That is a good simple tune to practice with. Congrats
