Sounded good but wanking away on a solo with hammer ons and all that is not really going to blow people away these days. Too many people can do that. Sounds like you have good technique and timing so you need to apply that to something that will move people. Meaning you should try to write your own stuff and bring your personality to the front.

I don't really have a "personality". I'm not creative enough. I can write riffs (crappy ones). But full songs? Can't really do it. You're right about it not impressing anyone anymore. Music in general doesn't impress people anymore because everything has been done before. There are no new songs, and no new avenues left to explore. Thanks for the critique!

Have you tried? I think the same thing about myself actually. But there is great music released every week. Plenty of new avenues to explore. Find someone that can be objective about your "crappy" riffs and you might be surprised.

Yes, I have absolutely tried. But I grew up where creativity and artistic things were discouraged and laughed at. 20+ years of that made me creatively impotent. Those people you suggested are not out there, I've tried to find them. That video was jut made to display my (very limited) playing abilities.s

Put it to you this way. I've tried to play like ME, but I don't like the way ME sounds. My personality on the instrument sucks! lol
