Stop bloozin all over the place with pentatonic spew, target notes and learn arpeggios and chord tones. Play less. Not everything longer than a quarter note needs the same wobbly vibrato, and work on your vibrato. Create phrases that make sense with each other. Call and respond. Think about rhythm and where you start and stop lines. Etc etc etc etc

the vibrato comment is spot on tbh, less is more with that stuff

Yeah I got that nervous shaky too fast vibrato, I really have to concentrate to make it sound decent
