I like it. Just a lil thought. I think the harp key was a little high. Try it in the key of A. It gives it a different feel. It was good how it was. I just thought it might sound better a little lower. I know that prolly means changing up the guitar. So maybe not so easy. Just a thought.

Nice job tho.

I think I agree with Killa that a lower harp might fit better, at least to try to see how it sounds. I like it. I think the harp and lyrics/vocals worked better than the guitar. I think you need 'prettier' chords on the guitar, at least for part of the tune, possibly changed into what you've got going on as the song goes on. They just seemed to need a change in what they were doing.

From a recording point of view, I know a lot of people on YouTube these days do the 'leaning over the camera on my laptop' angle, and it can work sometimes, and it gives you an uncluttered 'roof' area for a backdrop, but see if you can set it up higher so you don't have to crouch over so much! It will help the light levels in the video too, since you kept blocking the light.
