"my Sharona" solo (about 90% speed)

I posted a part of this solo some weeks ago. Since then I've been working on it in and out, because I wasn't feeling totally comfortable when I tried to speed up. I decided to stop practicing the solo and include some picking exercises in my practice routine to strengthen my technique a little bit before trying to speed up again. Now I'm back on track again and feeling much more confident. It's still sloppy, but I keep trying. Any constructive critics to help me improve on this are welcome

Nice! You're doing really well but like always I'm gonna point out the vibrato😅😅

Try to dig in a little more and try some different ways to do vibrato.

You looked very relaxed and it sounded really smooth for the most part, so good job! That is a hell of a solo! Don't know the original though. Only the fastest passages seemed a bit muddy but that might also be the audio quality or your guitar. If it however is unwanted string noise I would suggest practicing these sections a little slower again with focus on letting only the important notes ring. Try to eliminate all unwanted noise and then increase the speed again. Hope that helped :)

Yes, the faster parts need more slow practice...Thanks for your suggestions!!
