OK, so Fuego gave me this idea.
Honestly, I'm looking for any kind of constructive criticism. YouTube offers that to an extent, but comments are few and far between, so I would really appreciate it if y'all could listen (and watch, I suppose), and criticize, or applaud, or whatever. I'm not a very good writer yet, though I did kind of arrange the first song a bit differently than the original. So I have to give credit to the brilliant people who did write these. Any kind of feedback would be appreciated. While there are many things I'd like to do in life, becoming a better musician is very close to the top of the list, so any type of help y'all could be would be great.

Thanks for any help y'all can give, both from just commenters or other guitar players who can offer advice. I've never had any lessons, so I really don't know what it is that I need to know about guitar playing.
EDIT: I guess what I'm trying to say is that I don't get a lot of outlets to perform, because I know I'm not near good enough to do it professionally, and it's not like there are a lot of people my age that like this kind of stuff.
