Hey there!
Really nice work! I was like "damn..it'ś my take" when I heard first few notes
you did your homework on this one really nicely. You did match the main aspect of tone - this vintage blend of crunch and clean tone breaking through. Some tonal differences may be caused by two things:
1. I use quite thin pick - nylon 0,73 and I tend to rather push it through the string than "hit from the air". I generally was learning guitar on mostly hard to play amps and I was searchign how to get best attack in tone. I have quite sharp tone from the hand by itself.
2. My Presonus interface has quite low impedance on input (usually for guiatr circuits it's around 1 MOhm but Inspire has (as I remember) a half of this, It means I can easier overload the preamp with too loud signal but I get less treble loss from the instrument (brighter sound)
These two things can affect the tone quite well . 2nd one is not worth digging but you can try to change your pick and way of picking at some notes. Please also keep in mind that some delicate mastering eq on full track also affects the way the guitar sounds my recording so please from my point of view consider your tone to be quite a nice match.
If you would like to get closer tonally nesides above, you can add some presence and cut some low mids but only at the stage of amp sim. Don't touch tube screamer settings
Now about the playing. Lot of good thngs but we know you're not here to listen about these
So....let's point out some stuff that could be fixed a little:
Intro - you need to get "ultra soft touch" to play that intro properly. Your dynamics are not wide enough to reproduce proper tension build in this part....it's liek there are some shades missing inbetween.
0:16 - try to let ring the b note over d note (you seperate these)
0:33 - something happens between the powerchords. Sort of "spli strum" while they should connect smoothly with each other.
In general there is a little problem with fretting powerchords. I think it's overexpression in left hand - you fret them too hard and partially it makes some notes sound a little high with the pitch. Also....you try to grab them very hard so your hand kind of "stack" while shifting the position and first hit sound a little imprecise.
All these are not happening on the level that would critically affect the performance so I think you did a really good job with just some details to be fixed. But...mot important you do have the expression and mood that want to hear in this lesson. Well done
