Looking for Constructive Criticism of My Rhythm Playing

Is this la pompe any better? Do you still think I need to cut the up stroke out for now, or can I build up on this? Brutal honesty folks.

I don't think it sounds bad, I do think it's a little "long." Sounds like an 8th note pickup to me now...

I think the upstroke in rhythm is very difficult to describe..."grace note" would be the best way to say it.

My first go around with gypsy jazz, I never nailed it, I think. I'm getting closer now...I'll try and post a video for comparison, just for comparison, I don't claim to be a master.

I like this idea of a forum space for feedback. Most people I feel aren't lucky like we are in the Bay Area to have so many great GJ players and instructors. I'd love to see more of this.

Well, I would like thank everyone for their feedback. It is greatly appreciated. I'm going to take what's been mentioned thus far and work on it for a little while. I'll check in at some point for further feedback.

Thanks!
