Hi nickc.
I'll venture to offer some critical feedback, since you ask 'what do you all think?'
There is a nice flow to your playing, with dramatic surges, which ebb nicely..
The problem i found - listened to maybe 5 pieces - is the the harmonic language is much the same.. pentatonic, and parallel harmonic mov't., and restricting modulation… mostly.   {though, every now and again (not much) there is the odd chord out}.. Also rhythmically, there is quite (too much) a similarity among the pieces I heard.  But perhaps, this is what you were going for…
Basically, i am saying that i would have liked to have heard more variety to your compositional approach.
 Not meaning to be harsh,
