This is a very nice arrangement. Is it yours? You have a great tone and do a wonderful job of separating the melody from the accompaniment. I wouldn't be afraid to make a bigger deal out of going to the major section. You could give a subtle ritardando and come in a little stronger and brighter. I think the listener needs that. In addition, I'd give at least as much, if not more of a ritardando to set the listener up for the harmonics section. The way you play the harmonics is spot on. Again, great playing!

Brilliant arrangement and playing. All it needs is a bit more expression, a few decays and crescendos.
