Hi Tony, good to see you again and very nice to see where you're at these days!
I'm not sure if you're looking for feedback, since you don't mention it, but I guess I'll give it a go anyway.
I can see quite a bit of work you have put into this, I think you got the where to go with your fingers down pretty well. I was indeed wondering if you had been playing with a track, since it'll improve your timing. At the moment you're pretty caught up with whát to play which makes timing harder if it doesn't come natural, (which is kinda what Mark expresses, that you need to 'feel' every beat of the measure, no matter what is going on). So keep working on that. Marc points out another good thing, anchoring a few fingers, personally I'd say, QUIT that ASAP! Getting rid of it later, (when you notice that is dóes limit your right hand movements in all sorts of ways), it'll be súch a pain.
Lastly, something that I'd like to add, which isn't mentioned already, your 'actual' left hand
, you lift your fingers after letting go of the strings/notes way too high, keep them as close as possible to the fretboard, all lined up nicely and in position. With this speed you get away with it, but when things speed up, you'll be in trouble, so my advice would be, limitize the lifting-movements of your fingers.
Thanks for sharing Tony, again, it is very nice to see what you're up to nowadays and indeed very good of you taking some steps in a new direction!

). There is probably a debate over that, but I think that anchoring your pinky to the guitar will eventually limit your fluidity. I find , as Neil has mentioned many times, that the hand should be floating freely above the strings . Also using alternate picking most of the time (I cannot see from the angle if you are doing it or not) allow your hand to have a strumming like movement that helps giving a good rhythm. If your hand floats it will be possible to go faster especially when you have to switch between strings as you are always in position to pick .
