Nice improvising work :)

Focus on doing half bends first and only then do full bends, this might help you develop control over smaller sections which will make it easier to apply this over full bends.

Also be sure to do some small and slow controlled vibrato's. This will improve your tone of the fingers even more.

Great wrk sir!
