When you play live shorter note value is better than longer, it gives a good vibe to a live performance.
What I said about dynamic is the uneven loudness, your cover is a syncopated piece that needs some uneven unexpected pickup notes, it would give the song the lively energy.
This is the song I’m working on right now is a good example of dynamic syncopation check it out. If every note has the same loudness it would not have the funky feel.
