Hey there!
Today while I was waiting for the next collaboration to play, I decided not to wait and get down and try to write something kinda new... As I was working hard on bends and vibratos lately and I tried something over that... Well here it is, you can be harsh on me 
Please I need some feedback on my playing (and maybe some creativity issues), I dont plan to release it or something, so melody may be extremely similar to something else so please do not SUE me about it;)
cheers

as there is no comments yet I believe there must be somewhere else to post this

I listened to the track and it sounds very nice mate, there are some notes here and there that needs some fine tuning, but a cool jam nevertheless.

Good job man!
However I can hear quite some timing issues.
Also I would like some more bends and wider vibrato, personally, to add even more feeling.
A narrow vibrato makes one sound close to out of tune, so this is absolutely vital. Very many struggle with this, and correct guidance is needed. Check Emir, Lavendell, Piotr, etc for superb examples.
Timing wise, I think it is especially on the fast runs.
Muris gave me an advice once to improve on this, it was to record the take with guitars pretty much lower than backing, to really get alot more feel of the chords and beats.
After the recording, you can just raise the volume accordingly, till it is balanced.
Hope this helped!
Edit:
And melody wise, I like your composition, but it's very repetitive.
As I told Tjchep, Pedja adviced me to try to build a climax. Also using question&answer approach to gain versatility.
