your bends need a lot of work. You don't play over any of the changes you're just goofing around a blues scale box. There's more to blues than the blues scales. I hear no motivic development or melodic motif, it's just all directionless wank.

This is an accurate criticism. You and I both suffer the same problem - we love blues, we know scales, but we lack real feeling and direction.
I can't really play blues to save my life. I know what sounds nice, and I know where to put certain notes, but your piece lacked direction as stated, and in honesty I think you should think about your tone a little more. Rarely does all out heavy metal distortion generate good blues.

Good attempt though, you are certainly on your way dude

I think the major points have been thoroughly stated, however, I must second the comment on your tone. It leaves MUCH to be desired.
