Can't love nobody

A song I wrote a couple months ago that I put some minor touches on. Its kinda simple, maybe country blues maybe not

Nice catchy tune Tom, some nice playing and vocals, keep up the good work

Good effort, Tom. The mere fact that you've finished it off enough to record is commendable. It's not an easy thing to do, I know.

I kept waiting for it to go to F and C chords ... assuming you're playing it in Am. Lifting it out of the minor vibe could be an interesting way to spice it up a bit ... just a suggestion. Keep writing!

Thanks kirk and joe. I was starting to wonder if I should name it 'nobody loves this song'

The chourus was AM and DM the verse C and E. This is one of 3 songs I wrote (words and music) the other two "lonesome blues" and " follow the money" were a little better ( you can check my attachments for them) I re did this song i'm wondering now if the first one wasn't better

I can't believe I missed commenting on this. I listened to the song a couple of times. Sorry bout that. It has potential. Kirk had some good ideas for you to spice it up. Well done, keep writing.

Thanks thumbs, kirk suggested F and C maybe i'll play with a chord change, but i had a hard time doing more with this song. I didn't think i'd be writing stuff till my playing skills got better

I like it Tom! I think a few more chord changes like Kirk suggested would spice it up, but it's a good song, and I hope you keep writing and playing/posting them here.

Good job!

Jim

Thanks jim, kinda hit a rut in writing started a few never finished

Hi Tom,
Nice tune. As others suggested a little variety in the sound would round it out. Even a different strumming pattern would break it up and give the ear something to look forward to. Hey, I'm just a hack so take it for what it's worth, but that's what my ear was telling me!

Hey Tom, I think it's a really catchy tune.

tomg123 · #11 August 12th, 2006

Thanks guys if I have time I will try to do something with this, I can hear myself its bland, and I love getting advice and feedback

. The thing is seems i'm always updating stuff and have ideas i'm just waiting to get better at playing. The best thing I do now is probably fingerpick, I should do stuff with that. Also my guitar needs adjusting, and me too

Nice catchy tune! I bridge with different chords would spice it up, but I don't always think it's required either.

SlickCat · #13 August 12th, 2006

tomg123 · #14 August 12th, 2006

Thanks guys, Spice it will have to be then, but it may be a while
