I'm playing Ocean! A few tips maybe?
I'm right in the middle of learning this beautiful song called Ocean by John Butler, and felt like recording the part I have learned so far.
YouTube - John Butler - Ocean Cover (Part 1)
What I would like from you now is criticism, anything really... From how I fingerpick to how I'm holding the guitar. Since this is an important song for me I want to learn it as good as possible.
You can compare with the original:
YouTube - John Butler - Ocean (Max Sessions)
As said, anything.
Thanks!

I thought your playing was very good that can't be an easy song to play , I't sounded to me like the guitar was not quite in tune though .
And when you trust your television
What you get is what you got
Cause when they own the information, oh
They can bend it all they want

Yup. Either your capo was not quite set properly or you were playing flat. Are you micing that or do you have an electro acoustic? Your getting a lot of fret noise from the tapping on the treble strings. That may also be part of the capo malfunction. I would ask tekkers opinion, in the home studio forum for advice on shaping your sound.

I was using my built-in webcam and microphone from my Macbook, so the sound quality isn't at its best, but I have no other alternative at the moment.
I also noticed the out of tune, and that is something that bothers me. It can be perfectly in tune without the capo, but as soon as I'm putting it on many strings, especially the lower e-string, gets tuned too high. Doesn't matter how careful I am when I'm putting on the capo, still happens. So what I do is to tune it first a little bit lower than it should be and with the capo it evens out a bit, but it's hard to get it right.
And thanks for the comments! It was not easy at all to learn, especially since I haven't played that long, about one and a half year now.

You really are going to have to get a better recording method if you are going to do acoustic tapping.

Thats really good for the time you been at it, you must practice
a bunch. Not real familiar with tapping it looks like hammering on
without plucking first. I do that sometimes but wasn't sure what it
was, good job!
