Default First song, not done yet

Hi gang,
Total n00b here.

I haven't really done any recording in about 20 years. I'm from back in the reel to reel days.
I recently downloaded and licensed the latest version of reaper.

I'm not a pro musician by any means, and certainly not a vocalist, but enjoy playing, and thought I'd try some recording and maybe take me up a new hobby.

This is my first attempt, although I still have to convince my wife to overcome mic fright, and do the bass track, I think it might work.
It's just a cheesy old song, but simple enough to lay down and work with a bit.

The drums are more of a glorified metronome using an alesis SR-16.
I used a focusrite scarlet 2i2 for an interface.
Epiphone 6 string, and 57 reissue strat.

Anyways listen if you like, and constructive criticism is welcome!
Thanks!

Very good for a first time attempt.

i hear what you`re saying about the glorified metronome if you could mix that that up a bit with some sort of drums or drum loop it wouldn`t be that bad at all..At least you`re on the right road..keep at it OH and Welcome to REAPER its a great DAW..

BTW Hope you dont mind me saying, but you could tighten up a tad with some of the chord changes apart from that you`re doing fine.

Here's the latest version:
added: wife on bass, a friend playing real drums, remixed the guitar some and added an amp modeler to it.
