Default Please Stay...help me decide.

Ok guys...
This one is called Please Stay. And again it's with the batch of songs where we did the live takes so there's no over dubs on it.

The thing that pisses me off is that I use a capo on the electric guitar here and just slapped it on, didn't re-check the tuning. Sounded good to me at the time and we were trying to get through as many songs as we could for the session. (Lousy excuse, I know) My point is I hugely regret it now because I think the electric guitar sounds out of tune to the point of driving me crazy. And I think everyone else did such a great job and I screwed the pooch.

I want to redo the electric guitar. What do you think? And if we do any overdubs...might as well take a few more runs at the vocals, right? Or maybe the vocs are fine. Am I just going insane???
The song should be titled "Please Help" .

Also...I realize it sounds the same as the last song. Stylistically they are quite similar. We have songs that sound different I promise.

yeah that electric guitar is definately out of tune, i think you should overdub it. everything else sounded awesome to me, but if you think you can improve it than why not try.

The bass guitar is excessive in the low end compared to the kick drum. On a bass heavy system, I could see this be out of control. I'd cut 100 by 2dB and see where that gets you.

The vocals sound BIG in the verses. You have some sibilance issues in the chorus. They hurt at times on my stereo.

I'd like to hear a little more sparkly top end on the acoustic guitar.

Overall, a great job!

Brandon
