I don't want to hijack your thread, but i'll post some rough mixes here. I wish I had a singer like you. Your voice is perfect for the beatles stuff. I'm just not going to be able to reach the high notes on Every Little Thing. http://lmwatts.com/music/whatyouredoing22jun.mp3 http://www.lmwatts.com/music/everylittlething6jul.mp3
By the way, do you have uncompressed .wav or flac files of your songs?
I'd like to add them to my collection. I can do anything up to 24bit 196kHz.

Electric guitars do sound good.
You have the timing of the guitars wrong in the main riff. The first note of almost every repetition but the first of the main riff starts on the & of beat 4. You have yours starting on beat 1 every time.
Where are the vocal harmonies?!
The solo is missing some key things. The chords are wrong and the notes of the guitar are wrong. There are piano chords missing, they are not hard ones either, just repetitions in the right hand of a D major and a G7 chord, octaves in the bass. Just put them in there. And listen to the guitar melody closer. There is a brilliant unprepared dissonance of a C# against the G7 chord. It's so cool because only the Beatles would have thought of such a wacky, unexpected note. And the main guitar riff does not continue during the solo.
And did you try singing an octave up with more of a Beatles tone?
