Sounds very good. I think almost all the notes were played properly, and the timing wasn't bad either. Two things that I think you need to work more on are picking dynamics and vibrato. Sometimes you need to accent some notes here and there with a bit harder picking, and vibrato needs to be more wider, more precise, stronger.

For me video and sound are not in sync, but since we are talking about your playing here and not your vidoe skills I will give you an 8 Your take was pretty good, I also think that you should work on your phrasing and your vibrato though, the vibrato is not strong enough and your phrasing is not really there, you play everything with the same intensity, try to vary this a bit and emphasize certain notes.

Hi, it sounds nice.
However you should check the ohrasing as you are playing kinda plain, try to emphasize "target" notes marking them.
Pay atention whn repeating notes or rhythms as dynamics should change.
Pay atention to the endings of each phrase where you should make a decision on how your ending there.
Have fun!

Relax man!! You're playing like a midi machine!! Hahaha. Try to relax and you'll note that all the accents will come out alone. And I think that it will solve your vibrato mistake. But don't worry, you're doing pretty good!!
