Ok, if it were me I would probably either shorten the overall piece or introduce some variation on the main chord progression to make it more of a 'scene setter' and avoid it sounding like a recording of you just jamming over some chords.
I'm not sure about the sweeps personally. I probably wouldn't do them at all because it could come across as a bit contrived and exercise-y, but I could be wrong. If you're convinced then perhaps introduce harmonised sweeps on the second run through to add variation.
I like the tone you've chosen on the lead part. It works well.. just try and be more brutally decisive on choosing strong target notes to end your phrases on and stick to them.
I'm interested in how you chose the name Severn ? I assume you didn't name it after the River Severn which seperates England and Wales ??
Thank you for the advice! In fact, I noticed that there was a River Severn in England/Wales as well as another River Severn by my home in Niagara Falls. There is actually quite a large area in Ontario where it seems like everything has the name Severn. It is a pretty place during the winter time, I have yet to see it in any other season, so I chose that as a name.
