Sorry for the late response. Thanks for the feedback and encouragement! And yes, some people have been telling me that I'm progressing very fast, but I play at least 3 hours every day. But to be honest, I am progressing fast in some areas while other areas are lacking. But this is because I spend all my time on lead and speed building and playing difficult songs, so I really neglect rhythm and chords. If you saw me playing some open chords, you'd be like Wow you suck! So I am progressing fast at lead, but it's at the expense of my rhythm playing.

About the emotion, I realized it wasn't sounding emotional enough because I didn't even know there was a second guitar playing the same thing in octave thirds! lol. So now it sounds a bit more emotional, and because I've gotten much better at bending and vibrato.
