Thiis is much more interesting to me than your other post "some good stuff." Your solo isn't so shitty. You play with good raw energy and you're interpreting the song the best way you can as opposed to trying to copy it note for note. I listened to your other videos and you are developing your own style. It's a nice work in progress...

Well, you're having a bit of trouble keeping in key...I think you need to chart out the chords, & pay attention to the changes as you play with it. I'm speaking of the 1st blues minor thingie. I was hoping you'd come back, but you didn't, & kept straying form the true path on this one.
Working on some 1-4-5, 12-bar blues, will help your playing a lot, I think. When it goes to the 4, can you keep up? Do you actually change your root position as the chords change? Can you recognize when it goes to the 5, & follow along? It's a fairly strict structure that should allow you freedom to jam within the confines of the piece.
Keep at it.

FIRST OF ALL STEVE.... THANK YOU FOR PUTTING SOME OF YOUR MUSIC UP.
I love young players trying to learn. TAKES TIME. Beleive it or not all that "outa tune stuff", on your minor blues could be used if it was put in proper context to the average listener.
PHILBY is just trying to steer you a bit ,so you dont waste alot of time learning.
Listen to some of these "older " guys, they are a valuable resource,and I doubt any of them would poke fun of someone who is trying to learn to make music.
KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK AND DONT FALL INTO ANY NEGATIVITY ABOUT YOUR PLAYING
