It does sound great. I agree that there are some nice things happening here. However, if you mind me being constructive, I would suggest practicing with a metronome. It's one thing to be musical, but another to be off rhythmically. Also, try to make sure you take a nice full breath thinking of the syllable "how" while inhaling, blow through the entire phrase and sing it in your head as you are playing it. Afterall, it is just an extension of your voice. Other than that, I would say that you have a good start, but don't stop yet. Have you listened to any of the recordings? That might help you discover any rhythmic discrepancies you may not be seeing.

Good stuff, good luck with the rest
