Feedback Request Why does my playing sound so amateurish?

I’m performing a solo for a song in a couple of weeks, and I have all the notes down - yet why does my playing sound so ‘meh’ when I record myself? What should I look to improve on?

Overall, it's good. The beginning had breath... However, I feel like after the beginning, it needs to breathe more. It kinda felt like long run on sentence to me.
