I watched both of the videos....can definitely hear the guitar a lot better in the RB one.

I agree with what AT said about your timing and changes. Your playing and phrasing seemed pretty smooth to me in both of them. The thing I found common to both was what Andy mentioned - the tone seemed surprisingly thin and shrill for an LP. You could probably fatten it up and get a better sound by backing off the treble a bit and giving it some more mids and bass, and perhaps rolling the gain back a bit on your stomp. When fuzz gets too trebly it ends up with that "bees in a tin can" sound, IMO.

As far as getting useful feedback on YouTube, that's pretty futile. It seems like most of the comments are from 15-year old metalheads who don't post anything more useful than "haaHAaa do0d u sux get a esp and teh line6 spyder!!!1!!!" or "dood u r teh PWNZ do u have tabz???????".
