[jeremyrozario]

It's a good attempt.

If I may offer the following constructive feedback:

You have the foundation technique to be able to play fast. Cool.

Need to work hard on your vibrato, as it virtually non-existent in the recording.

Tuning is slightly flat.

Bends don't quite hit the mark in some places. Listen very carefully for the target pitch.

To work on your sense of melody, there are a few things you can do. One I prefer is to think of very common, well-known themes, such as "Twinkle Twinle Little Star" or "Happy Birthday to You" - write down as many of these well known song names as you canl then, play them on the guitar. Sing it, then play it. Don't worry if you make mistakes. The more you do it, the better you will get.

Another thing you can do, is just listen to the chord progression over and over. Eventually, you will hear melodies in your head that will suit it. Try to play these melodies.

How long have you been playing?
