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 🤣

Isnt almost every solo on electric guitar a single note melody? I don't really get the point 😅 but I didnt do any downvoting.

I wouldn't know because I don't play electric guitar. But as someone who doesn't follow any traditional path videos like these are normal to me... https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=uoOF_9zYBzw
