I like it man, its not bad for a first attempt!

I don't think you necessarily need to switch it up (Many trad folk songs are the same riff over and over and over again)

Keep at it, don't let some of these old fogies get you down. I think much of what we are seeing here is generational.

I will say though to check the white balance on your camera while capturing video, it will go a long way when editing later on.

And of course, remember to never edit or drive while high, which I'm sure you already know.

Good stuff.
