This contest does not require such flashy guitar tricks. This is more my level. Still learning on improvising. Still a beginner.
Here is the link to the competition video (deadline has been reached).

Here is my entry. Most everybody else shredded the backtrack, but I gave it a melancholy sound. It is what spoke to my heart. I don't expect to win, just wanted to have fun.

That's a very nice entry man, congratulations. Try to add a little vibrato and it will sound killer.

Very nice man! Like Coffeeman said, better vibrato and also watch the bends. There are a few just short of pitch, but not to much out. A little bit of polish just to make it perfect.

All that said this was a great take, Congrats!

The solo is really nice. I also advise to re-upload with more precise bends and vibrato. good luck there
