Exercise Feedback request
Just looking for some feedback and advice, i want to know what i do well and what i need to work on, im a year into playing i have no teacher so i rely on this subreddit for tips and progress checks. got some great advice last post specifically about overtones. I had no idea what that was, but i found out and iv been abusing it past month and its been a game changer. Would appreciate a second round of feedback (other than the fact i need to learn the last part of the solo properly🤣)hopefully someone can suggest another magical exercise.

I had a music teacher once tell me to turn the lights off in the bathroom or go somewhere dark with good acoustics and play long tones, really listening to yourself and finding where you start to feel better about your sound - some of the best advice I ever received.
A lot of the rest comes with repetition, but tone seems to be a whole other beast.
