From the small sampling of stuff yiu have posted. You really ain't bad.

Theres some organic feel goin on there. Sounds like the grateful dead were all sitting at a bar, and somebody asked them to come up and play.

They start n.oodling and eventually find a groove.

I'd encourage you to learn about sing structure and songwriting in general.

Its almost as if real playing sounds fresh.

Thanks FD. That is good feedback because that is what I was thinking as well. I recorded the bass and then just jammed along 50 or 60 times. Mixing the sound is a challenge as well.
I did another mix and shifted the bass to my right, guitar to the left, and reduced the percussion gain slightly as well as giving the percussion a bump in reverb....

Sloppy playing in parts, but groove capture worked. If I smooth things some w practice, I will write a simple lyric and sing too. Thanks!
