Nice Job Haley.. Here is exactly what I heard... The whole theme of the tune seemed to be based around Neon type intro improv. Then I heard bits of 1) Old Love@1:07 2) Message in a bottle@1:50-2:30ish 3) No such thing@2:38 4) Free Falling@3:18-end... That's how I heard it. Oh, and maybe a really quick riff from Comfortable.


The only songs that were definitely not mine steevo, were Old Love and Free Falling. Everything in between was just in the moment... and could have very well sounded like the other songs you listed, but most likely by accident. Aside from the 2 songs I mentioned, everything else was an original riff. The percussive technique definitely stemmed from Neon. However, I have always been a percussive guitarist. Just been a natural thing for me since the very first time I picked a guitar.

And listening to way too much Mayer will do that image
I didn't mean you weren't being creative, not by any means. I was just saying there were flavors of all those songs in there, whether you realized it or not. Sometimes it takes someone else to give you feedback to show you your influences are coming out in your playing. Great job non the less.
