For me it misses some of key elements such as the odd string rake into bends, the occasional slide into a note and most of all the dip in the bend in the first phrase - it's tricky to bend up to pitch, release to a semitone down then bend back adding vibrato after a pause. These are all techniques well worth persevering with learning for blues soloing. Keith Wyatt on YouTube has great lessons on these types of techniques
Theres lots of subtle techniques like using staccato on a few notes, it really makes all the difference.
Its a great solo, simple, just a few notes but all used to great effect.

Oh and don't let anyone tell you there's an augmented chord at the end of the chorus. I think some of the YT videos add one Michael Carswell perhaps?. It absolutely is not there and it annoys the f*** out of me when someone adds it.
The only thing I would add to the wise words above is to almost now forget playing the notes as written down - and now play (the same notes but) the whole passage as YOUR piece. That is, to get the flow of the melody as a whole melody rather than a just a collection of notes.
I had to break through that same issue on the sax. I started in the traditional 'playing from music' and to a reasonable standard. But it was only when I put the music down and played it from memory as a piece as a whole - and not worrying too much at first about it being note or timing perfect - I started to get the flow and feel of the music as a complete passage. I knew I could always go back later to correct any inadvertent improvisations but the subtle timing variations from a looser flow - sometimes a touch ahead of the beat, sometimes a touch behind - transformed the pieces
Hope that makes some sort of sense...
