Sounds nice! Some of you're bends and your timing sound a bit of at times. You could also go a little bit more into your vibrato, like make it sound that you are completely engulfed in the music. Overall it sounds pretty good already!
Hey thanks Nocturne!! Im still on the first lessons of alternate picking, a struggle to keep timing and keeping it clean so I think I even kind of avoid it
subconsciously (if thats a word ) but I know what you say, specially at the end it would be much better with alternate picking!

Vibrato aside, for some of your bends your finger is likely getting tired in the middle of the bend and letting go a little bit, which ends the note (like at 0:30 and 1:29 how those notes end early). If you work on pressing down and trying to hold the note longer, that might help strengthen your fingers. I noticed this happening to me when I was trying to learn Syn's etudes where he ends some runs w/some pinky bending, and I wasn't able to sustain the note as long as him (b/c my pinky is weak as hell, and would let go early).
Maybe those notes end early because you're letting go in preparation for the next note, in which case it's just practice and it will get easier (I would try practicing without music and just focus on the transition from bend to next notes, then re-add the music later once you're able to do that faster)! But if you're like me, and your fingers don't enjoy holding the note for that long, focus on finger strength!

Hey thanks, I think it might be more the first, my finger gets tired or I just start to take some pressure of the string without realize causing the note to end early xD It happens a lot unfurtunately and I cant figure out why :/
You just figured out why (if you want a better why, it's because your finger muscles aren't used to the level of effort it takes) The more you practice it the better you'll get and the easier it will be. You're doing good so far!
