i recently finished an acoustic finger picking piece i've been working on and wondered what people think of it. Its got no vocals as I havn't thought of lyrics but i think its quite a nice piece.

Madman,
i like some parts of this, some the ascending and decending parts.
got some string "buzz" going no there, try to get your fingers a little closer to the frets. try using the pads of your fingers instead of your nails. not easy to do i know.
timing is off in some places and some of the bass notes seem out of tune with the piece.
Keep working on it. I know this sounds a little bit negative but it's meant to be constructive not mean. I think it has good potential and yes, it does remind me of snowflakes in some parts.
Great thing about music is you get to have "do overs". It's nice to see other members interested in fingerpicking.

thanks my acoustic is a bit wierd with me it buzzes on certain frets and the timing will be an issue but i hate the sound of a metronome in the background.

Also i finished it while staring outside as snowflakes passed my window :D

thanks everyone for the comments
@sol thanks for the tip I usually just listen to my backing track to get a feel then launch in feet first, planning has never been a charactistic of mine
