Ghosts
My latest song, "Ghosts". I'm happy with this, I think the acoustic guitars came out better than usual, and my singing is slowly improving. Still have a long way to go.
Solo is nothing special, but I'm very happy with the main riff, the simple two-string harmonising melody. I think it works.
Comments/suggestions welcome as always.

Re: Ghosts
This is a great song, really well put together, all the playing is spot on and I couldn't find fault with it anywhere.

Re: Ghosts
Very competent playing and general production. Nothing wrong with the vocal except that I think it deserves to be a little bit more prominent from within the mix. Style and genre is more Eagles/Dire Straights than the blues, but that ain't no crime! Well done.

Re: Ghosts
Very much a "Blackhorse" song. You have a unique style that makes immediately apparent whose song it is.
Top marks on - composition, lyrics, vocal, guitar, atmosphere. Nice combinations of rhythm and lead playing.

Super song Blackhorse !
Like it very much , harmonising two string jobbie is esepcially effective and I especially like the 2nd guitar solo.
Great job ! Good song

Re: Ghosts
Thanks for all the comments, much appreciated.
I'm hoping to start gigging soon as half of an acoustic duo covers act. At first I will just be playing guitar, but I'd like to work up to doing some singing too. Maybe this will give me the ability and confidence to start performing some of my own songs too.
I hope to get another 1 or 2 songs done before then, and maybe record them properly (or at least to a higher standard) over the summer, when I will keep all your comments in mind on these songs, and maybe make some changes accordingly. So thanks for the input!

Re: Ghosts
I like the acoustic guitars, the vocals, and the lead guitar work. What's not to like! Your vocals are unique...in a good way. Yours and Strummer's vocals have a very similar quality and both are very good IMHO.
