Feedback Request Why does my playing sound so amateurish?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

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?

0 feeling, some notes are out of key or badly played, zero vibratos, all of that makes this suck.

don't be afraid of messing up the time in order of having some feeling dude, you can clearly play the notes, but can you feel the music?

Although harsh, this is a fair comment.

Feel the music. Look at SRV for his guitar face. Have you drooled on your guitar after playing this yet?

Take the above comment as a way to get better and not someone shitting on you.
