Salut Jean and thanks for posting.  You have a very good feel for the fundamental licks and your guitar has a nice tone.  I also like how you have made it your own version instead of just copying.  All you need to do now is incorporate your bass / thumb licks with the other fingers.  Practice playing the bass at the SAME TIME as the other fingers...it will make your playing sound fuller.  And thanks for singing...many are too timid but you did well.

Greetings Jean.  I can see that you have your own style going and I dig the way you sing and speak same time.  I would suggest that you pay closer attention to your tempo and the rhythm of the tune.  Daily practice with a metronome would help until it feels good to you.  Also put some work in your thumb to keep the bass going while you are playing the melody with the other fingers at the same time.  That will make it sound more full.  Thanks.
