After all, individuality is what we all want ! On a different subject, I just realised something that might explain why you sometimes get a lot of excess string noise in takes with loads of bends. You play with a very relaxed picking hand, away from the body of the guitar. In fact, it looks just like Yngwie's right hand. I also have my hand away from the guitar for a lot of picking things that I do. However, I also move my hand inwards so it's more parallel with the strings to help cover the strings and mute when I need it. If I'm doing stuff with a load of bends and intricate stuff where I require accuracy and tone, then I'll keep my hand close in to the body, but when I'm blazing away I let it all hang out !

The only comment that I can give is that some bends could be a bit more natural, mostly the first ones that don't go 100% with the groove. By the way it's a 10 for me! Well done!
