It's hard to hear the details of your playing with the audio like it is; is there any way you can adjust the balance so you're louder and the music is softer? Your right hand technique seems good insofar as where your thumb is placed as you cross strings.

One thing I did notice is that your dynamics are uneven at times. You could try practicing consistency in how hard or soft you pluck a note (something I didn't pay attention to until over a year after I started playing.)

As long as it's comfortable for you, it's fine.

eh, it could use some work. thumb needs to be behind the neck, fingers curved more and more parallel to the frets using the meaty part of the finger pads instead of the flat part, left hand finger movement too much on the fast parts and not very economical. your right hand looks a little tentative and lacking confidence but it's not bad.

I would agree with JimmyM that your left hand technique needs a little work. Try to keep the fingers as close to the frets as possible. Also, IMO you have too much hand movement. When you move up the neck, keep the thumb on the back of the neck, and use it as a pivot instead of moving the whole hand ( 06. 38 into this clip shows this, but the whole clip is worth watching ).
