E phyrgian is the 3rd mode of C major, G major has modes - A dorian, B phrygian and so on
2 different things and i think a bit of a jump for you to be going into. modes dont mean s*** without chords underneath
now for the hard criticism... sorry
bends out of tune, lots of unwanted string noise, bad intonation, scales that dont coincide with eachother. you are getting better which is an improvement but dont try to shred to impress us here, try some melodic 120bpm quaver solos first. i *** at shred now so its the pot calling the kettle black but i dont want to shred at the moment, you do. like i said, that solo is just soloing for soloings sake with no chords to bring out your modes, why use the hungarian minor?

Well i think in this instance, there's no real need for chords since it's a stand-alone solo, although rather than play any old ***, try to come up with some melodies & learn how to construct a phrase.
99% of it was out of tune. If I notice the playing is out of tune, it's really bad. Lol.
For now, I'd suggest learning your "Greek Modes" theory inside-out (that is all the modes, their formula, intervals, chords within those scales, how to use the scales over a given chord etc) & take it from there.
You're not Liszt, so i'd suggest to leave the Hungarian Minor alone for a while.

Well even if your guitar is in pefect tune (open strings), the intonation may be off & your touch is very heavy.
If the tuning & intonation was perfect, you'd still be playing out of tune because you're pressing too hard when fretting a note & it's causing the notes to sharpen.
But, i think the guitar isn't intonated properly anyway, so i'd take it to a tech to set up. Then if your playing is out of tune, you know it's your touch.

do you even know the formula for hungarian minor?
do you know the chords or modes of it, can you play across the fretboard in 5 positions? these are fundementals for any scale.
a quaver is a note duration, 1/4 of a beat
the thought of you asking that is enough to say you are not ready for the things you are attempting. sorry man but get some pentatonic stuff out the way first
