Is this all right (or is it crap)?
I made this up today. Originally, it was just strumming the chords but I was like "nah, that's boring" so I decided to fingerpick it...I suppose I could still use a pick, but I like it better this way.
Anyway, ignore some of the errors, they're not on purpose. :-p
It says .mov, but it's just audio.

I like that Alawiggle. I like the strong and regular rhythm (and no gaps between chord changes) and the confidence of your playing. Well done. How are you doing the strumming/fingerpicking ? It sounds really interesting.

If anyone has ideas on where to go after this (Like a chorous, or middle 8 or something...) I'd be much obliged. I'm using C, Am, and G right now (and variations of it of course), and not completely sure where to go with it after the last G part (the end) but know I want to jump right into it.

If you have Qtime pro you can use save as or export to choose format, used to be free with QT.
or drag the song into itunes and right click>convert to MP3.
what program do you use to record as it should have an option to save as certain format
Second recordings good , keep experimenting and you'll find where to go. maybe use some other chords from the key your in, G, I think,or C?
so maybe em, em7, dm, d7 cmaj7, f, fmaj7, bm
Theres others on here who have great knowledge of chord relationships and keys who no doubt will help

I'm just hitting the bass string with my thumb, and then using my two/three fingers to hit the other strings at the same time. Steady rhythm, woo.
Also, I almost got the song done (minus lyrics)! I'm just trying to learn it well enough (it contains some tricky stuff for me) so I can record it. Also, I might need an intro, but it'll come.
