That was played very clean and it sounds cool man. Great progress!! Guitar tone is great also. Just work on what Mirus suggested.
My suggestion:
Try to work on your vibrato before speed. This will help get you connected to the solo with feeling and expression. Stay at the same tempo as this recording an experiment with bend + vibrato, wide V, fast V (all on the key notes) and it will give everything more expression, movement and life. Relax your left hand some and let it happen.
At the same time start on a different recording with your same practice routine trying to play faster. Listen to them both played back and then be honest with yourself and what you hear.
Speed is cool and sounds great but if a listener can’t feel what you’re playing or relate they won’t listen.
You’re progressing really well. Keep going!!

"Think of a guitar solo as a paragraph. You need a clear beginning, a middle, and an end. Look at musical phrases like sentences, and make sure you break them up using punctuation—or space. You pause naturally when conversing, right? If you don't, you'll bore the listener. The same thing will happen with your audience if your solo is one dimensional. You'll wear them out and lose their attention." —Tom Principato
