A bounce flash would be the way to go here as the shadows cast by the on camera stuff are pretty harsh as seen on his left hand below the fretboard. I am also not all that sure what you wanted to have in focus-usually the eyes are the best thing to focus on as it is I'm thinking his right hand is the focal point and that seems way too deep into the image.
I like the foreshortening effect, and the general idea. The lighting isn't all that great in this one though - I would have preferred natural light, maybe with a warmer glow, for this lighting looks too harsh and artificial. I don't care for the background too much here, but at least it is very hard to see. The black shirt the guy is wearing sort of creates an impossible lighting situation for you (see, it's HIS FAULT! )
