Note: I am only 15, i don't know my inspiration. I guess i just try to make something that sounds good to me. I may not be very good; i know- but i try.
Anyways, i'm looking for critique and advice on my music-

Michigan doesn't seem to be in a key your voice is so maybe try transposing it. Timing is your biggest challenge here. The breaks mess you up and if feels like you want to be in 3/4 most of the time, but you're playing in 4/4.
Faces is by far your best song. Minor improvements could be made to the riff at the start just by learning the scale you're attempting to play in so you can keep it in key.
Lost is choppy because you're playing it too fast, or rather faster than you can. You'd benefit from just slowing it down and record the harmonica after you do the guitar part.
Work on timing, practice with metronome. When you go to breaks you get pretty off time. It seems to be your biggest issue.
Try to play more smoothly, you may benefit from recording the guitar parts first and then going back and singing over them.
You'll benefit from learning some theory. Scales, keys, and chord progressions. Also learn songs you like from other people and people that sound like you because that will help you write even better stuff.
Overall its good stuff, you just need practice. I encourage you to keep it up.
You want an influence listen to Bob Dylan, close to you as any thing. Folk punk might also appeal to you.
Timing advice. Play things super slow and work up in speed. Count your rhythm during this slowed down.(1,2,3,4. 1,2,3,4. or 1+2+3+4+, ect) Definitely put in a little time with a metronome and learn a simple three or four chord by someone you like and practice with the recording.
^ thank you, that definitely helps alot, it is good advice.
Metronomes seem to be my big drawback- it has been suggested to me, and i guess for this point i just need to keep practicing.
