I think it would add to things if you brought the dynamics up and down a bit. It's tasteful to play sparse, as you are here. But I found myself waiting to see where it was going, and things never really heated up.

Some of the notes you're playing aren't being hit with much confidence. If you choose to play a note, play like you've committed to it. That doesn't mean everything has to be plucked hard, but try and plan your phrases out, then execute them.

It sounded good though. A lot of guys tend to over play. You're leaving lots of room, which is nice. But i'd personally like to hear things get less sparse from time to time, and hear a bit more conviction in what you're playing. Don't shy away from playing some more aggressive notes from time to time.

Thanks for sharing!

The backing track doesn't sound like minor chords, they sound like seven chords to me, but I'm listening on a phone so it's a little hard to tell. The notes you play over a Major Blues will differ some what from the notes you play over a minor blues. When you play your solo over a jam track, listen to see if you're fitting in.

I agree you need to put more umph into it, excitement so to speak. Use your scale for musical phrases, and ideas to draw in the listener. Use tension and release to push forward through the progression, and play like you're in control of the instrument instead of it sounding like it's in control of you.
