| Not bad, I think the other posts have said most of what I was thinking - time on the first one (although the majority of it is pretty good and the feel is nice) and the intonation on your fretless. When you hit the open strings,try to use them as a guide to how your tuning is on the fretted note and adjust accordingly. With practice, you can shift pretty quick so the average listener will hardly notice any tuning issues.
With Classical Thump, I would say :
a,slow down. It's not an easy piece and there's no shame in slowing it right down until every note is clean and then speeding it up over time.
b, concentrate on getting the double thumbing even. The upstrokes were so quiet that I wasn't sure if you were double thumbing or not.
Otherwise, good stuff and I look forward to hearing more.
