Your way of improvising is quite original and the choice of notes is good. Maybe you need to pay more attention to the rhytm/beat.
Personally I try to stick to the rhythm like a Koala to the plant.

the sound is not overly compressed which has an effect. Playing a 330 or other hollow guitar helps probably

On the other hand I think Dan Wilson plays quite detached

What I think that is unfair is that It took me some effort to reach the top speed of horns with the fingers with a classical guitar, but the trumpet and sax can reach It without much training,

is like if these instruments are fast by nature. On guitar at least with fingers is way harder.
I don't know how they do It but its related with the speed of blowing? Will be nice to know, somebody knows?

You have to understand that a wind instrument is mostly a diatonic instrument, that can play altered notes with specific fingerings, some don't come so easily.

The guitar is generally "easier", same muscle memory if you like playing with positions.
