I would say you are good to go to play in a band in this style, The chord changes are good. but there's that little extra mojo missing, which makes you sound really pro. Maybe try loosen your right hand's rist a bit more. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

Daniel is right, try to relax the strumming hand wrist a bit, and make those chord changes a bit more faster. It will be great! You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

You are playing correctly but you should deliver some dynamics to the piece, by paying a little more attentio nto your right hand, to get it perfect! Good work man!
