Nice warm vibrato, the piece sounded quite nice when you warmed up the D and the B with your vibrato. Try to do that with all your notes. Another way to elevate your playing would be to use less open strings. A lot of the held notes seem to be the open E and A string and they will sound much better with an in tune fourth finger. And also make sure to keep your fourth finger B on the E string nice and high. Just my bit advice if you were looking for any.

hi! thanks for the kind words and for the advice as well =) it's a good feeling to know that atleast i'm doin' the vibrato alright... im just new to it =) yes, i really want to drop the use of the open strings but my 4th finger is really weak-sounding =( but im trying (when no one's within hearing range, haha). thanks again!

ya no problem! I understand how hard it can be to pick up a new instrument and try to learn it. For your fourth finger, you just have to keep working at it and eventually you'll be able to even vibrato it. Also, I just listened to it again and I noticed that whatever your F on the E string, I think it is sharp some times and natural the other, just make sure to listen for the difference, I think you were playing somewhere in between sharp and natural :). Keep up the good work.
