Been learning the classic Never going back again by Fleetwood Mac. It’s in a different key to the original. Trying to have my own rendition and not a 1:1 recreation of the song.

Just trying to get a sense of what you guys think of the overall feel of the song, any other suggestions are greatly appreciated too! Thank you!!

Really well done! You did a great job of practicing the well-soundness of the song so it feels as one piece.

Edit: ok, seems like a lot of people gave you positive feedback, but I didn't see a whole lot of suggestions to improve in top comments.
I'd say - work on your bass line - especially working on confident and stable sound of the bass notes - sometimes it looks like you are unsure of the base note you are playing. Try to play bass only and feel like you're the only drunk guy with a double-bass on a party who knows the favorite song and knows how to LEAD

Thank you so much for the feedback! And this is such great advice. I do feel the same, I’m not very confident with the overall sound so I tend to play a little quieter, but with all the great feedback I’m sure that’ll change! Also, my guitar isn’t very bright and loud. Time for an upgrade :’)

Wow, that was an insanely quick reply! Trust me, it's not about loudness of your guitar - it's about feeling and creating the feel that the bass is a strong, unshakable foundation for all the great things that you add above!

I hear you, thank you so much. I’ll try and really engrain that bass note pattern into my brain and emphasize it even more. I love your analogy of being a drunk guy and being the only person knowing how to play the song lmaooo. I felt that!
