Some lyrics with vocals perhaps? Curious regarding your technique: Is there a reason why you only strum down? And have you ever consider using a slide for this? It seems a logical choice.

Pretty impressive for only 10 months......worth of stickers.  You have nowhere to go now sticker wise.  Seriously though, keep it up, it's only about what you can accomplish and get out of it.......trust me, I know   

my only tip would be to slow down.  I think many players think the faster they play the better they are....not true.  make the chords ring true.

Yes, it's harder to play slow. You have to think and choose notes wisely; melody is most important.

I remember the first time I saw MMJ, and I know it's a cliché but they really did Stop Time.  Jim was playing Golden or Bermuda Highway, I think, and it looked and sounded like they were on some different plane. One that I was happy to join them on.  They remind me of The Cure in that way.

Please NOOOO with comparison to the Cure!! I've always respectfully hated their music; drives me fucking crazy.
