Thanks for the replies, I really do appreciate all the comments and advice.
3rd_harmonic, it is fun trying to sing like that, but people often say it's a bit too monotone. I'm never going to be able to actually sing "pretty", I suspect, maybe I'll try just a bit more varition (and try some other keys in future tunes) and try to do the same kind of thing but with a little more melody. For me, singing is a lot easier when someone else is doing it.
Frank, thanks very much for the advice. Someone said before that my bass playing is too loud compared to the treble strings and I've been trying to work on making it more even. It seems hard right now, when I try to play the high notes louder, my thumb starts playing even louder still. I never realized it until people mentioned it, and I'm happy to have something to work on to get better at playing.
Again, thanks for listening and giving advice. It's really fun to try and make music, and I really appreciate the comments on the things I should work on.
