A bit of playing on a Yamaha Pacifica 102s I rescued from a pawn shop for $200. I think this one was made in ‘95. I do hope they make a new generation of these. It’s my favorite guitar.
Thanks for your time!

That was great! This is one I’ve worked on, so I’ll allow myself a couple of hopefully helpful comments:
- In the very last bar the timing gets slightly off track, but you probably can sense this yourself watching the video.
- This is a tiny detail, but I notice you sometimes lift a fretting finger where you don’t need to. E.g. at around 0:23, where you play 7-5-7-5 on the D string, and you lift the index finger off of fret 5 when you don’t need to. I think I noticed the same thing elsewhere a time or two.
But, as I said, these are minor points, the overall performance was great!

Sounds good to me.
This was the first solo I learned on guitar! 
I think it is a great beginners solo, C major (Am minor) pentatonic, great connecting licks between positions, not so difficult string bending… I think you did very well, it sounds great overall.
I noticed few things that might be useful. That starting lick with hammer on and slides could to be cleaner and that last lick timing and phrasing could be better. Bending is mostly accurate, but it looks like you are bending with fingers, not with rotation of your arm/hand. If I am seeing correctly, you move your wrist up and extend fingers. You can check Justin’s videos on bending.
I struggled a lot with those slides between P1 and P2 (and then quick note), but it looks like that is not a problem to you - sounded great to me. Finally, vibrato is missing or could be improved in a few spots.
Very nice Andrey, sounds just like the original.
Thank you everyone!
I like it!
Glad you rescued that guitar! So glad it found a good home!
