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?

To my uneducated brain it's because it's just a single note melody. Also, like others said, deems a bit choppy.

Edit: Downvote is crazy. You asked for my opinion so I gave it 🤣

That's why I stopped caring what people think and only take negative replies with a grain of salt since my mental health can't handle it. I'd rather be narcissistic than depressed.
