Looking pretty good if you ask me...
It's not really a fault as such, rather your hands are just a bit out of sync, this happens to us all the time at speeds. One hand develops more than the other (and the other therefore has a hard time / chokes when trying to keep up). It's a good but bad thing for us guitarists - good new a hand has improved majorly, bad new the other needs to develop now in order to keep up and is freaking out about it. It's best to practice focusing on only one at a time (other doing almost nothing) then sync them slowly (slow down and follow a metronome - practice with bursts of speed / slow / normal / burst / normal / fast / burst / repeat back to slow). Ignore the metronome at bursts - it's just to get the feeling of speed with more control. As soon as you make too many mistakes on the fast picking speeds, stop, shake it out, and chill... relax, forget about focusing strongly on the hands and simply zone out instead - the idea here is to learn it from natural muscle with little resistance and effort.
Speed is NOT all about just going faster, rather reducing movement distances and resistances which in turn can slow it down or cause it to trip.
A few things to check:
Picking hand first -
1) Choke up and only use the tip of a pointed sharp pick.
2) Don't angle the pick up or down, as this causes more movement or resistance when striking the other direction.
3) You can however rotate the pick so the thumb is pointing more down (or up if preferred) so your only use the edge and getting a sharper, less resistances of the attack.
4) Lock up the pick thumb at speeds, only flex this when slowly playing with more emotion as it causes digging of the strings - more resistances.
5) Glide the pick over the string, not lifting or digging too much, some people develop a circle movement, others just graze the tops of the strings. When picking, practice picking only one string without it leaving that string - in other words, alternative over the string with the pick always touching it on each side. No lift or dig = way less resistances + less movement = lightning natural speed.
6) Rotate from the wrist, rather than the arm when picking. Less movement.
Fretboard hand -
1) Practice hammer-ons and pull-offs per each finger. Finger independences (make sure the other fingers don't lift too much with the others or glue together).
2) Try to keep the fingers not used yet floating just above their corresponding fret. Not flicking away too far or hugging other fingers.
3) Keep the thumb more closer to the middle of the neck if possible. Rotate just with the wrist to reach all strings without having to reposition your hand. Less movement.
4) Keep the same speed timing of the picking hand (just forget about it) and sync the fretted notes in time. Slow down / Speed up / Then burst / Slow back down. You want to find your perfect playing point and always return to that, always finish your practice on that as well. Just burst up more faster but return back. The idea is to practice accuracy rather than speed. Let the speed come naturally from corrections over time.
All the best! Most importantly, have fun and relax - don't over stress it. Focus strongly on one hand then the other - correct bad habits / mistakes at slow speeds, but then ignore it all. Zone out and watch TV or something while playing relaxed. Tensing, trying to hard with force and overthinking can actually slow you down too and you want it to be natural and easy instead.
