World's BEST guitar player--me??

Here's a recent video that I made (this video is on my 2nd YouTube channel--I've got 2 channels):
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KgxNilRv_PA

And because I can play guitar like in the video above, Jake Shimabukuro (yes that Jake Shimabukuro--the most famous ukulele player in the world. He's been on Late Night with Conan O'Brien, Jimmy Kimmel, etc. He's toured in Jimmy Buffett's band, toured with Bela Fleck, jammed with Steve Vai, collaborated with Yo Yo Ma), he asked me to record on a couple of songs that were never released commercially but that I have, and I have the link to one of the songs below.
So on the recording below, which Jake arranged, he asked me to play like how I do in the video in post #1, which means I played walking bass/chords and we traded solos, so here's the breakdown:
Jake's first solo-- from 0:53- 1:43
my first solo--from 1:43- 2:33
Jake's second solo--from 2:33- 3:23
my second solo--from 3:23- 4:12
Since this is jazz, it's all improvised and in fact, first takes....
So here's the link on Broadjam.com:

Thanks for the compliments!!

Michael Keane for me is one of the best and I'm sorry to piss on your parade, but you just don't compare to him.

That's just all the solo's from his bands latest album.

But fair play, if that is you(this is a cannabis forum after all) and congrats on the recording sessions with Jake.

Also, I'm not too keen on how you blow your own trumpet, things like this can and will end up with you getting abused at some point, whether it's in jest or whether it's meant with purpose. You're talented no doubt, you've been asked by a pretty respected musician to record an album with him, that in it's self deserves credit. You can also play multiple instruments, very well I might add, but I didn't see any "shredding like no tomorrow" and I certainly didn't see "one heck of a bass player". What I saw, was some half decent tapping with a mediocre soft rock riff in the middle, and then I saw a listenable bass player. Victor Wooten and Jack Bruce are what I would call "one heck of a bass player" category.

actually, I had tendonitis in my left hand in that "Epic Fail" video, but I decided to record it anyway as it was taking a long time to heal. Here's a recording of what it sounds like when I'm at 100%--both a lot faster and with more stamina:

and here's some of my songs with super cool riffs:

and this one (check out super mini solo in second verse):

and this one (super melodic with superb guitar solo):
