I recorded me playing the two power metal solos at 130 bpm

Hey Ize, your vibrato has improved, have you been working on it ? If so, good work

For this lesson, I would just spend some more time trying to get the patterns second nature, because those neo classical shapes are very tricky and it makes you feel as if you're going to trip up over your own fingers ! I know that feeling !

You have the technique, your picking looks relaxed.. just a case of working on the shapes and hand synch until it's clean

hey man! You are very close. As Ben said, your technique is perfect, there is nothing to fix, you just need patience and practice. The difficult thing about this "Vinnie Moore" Style licks is that the quantity of notes that you play on each string is irregular, and for that reason you have to cross strings in different ways all the time (outsides, insides) if you are using alternate picking technique.
Keep on working on this lessons every day and you'll reach the 150 bpm soon!

Thanks for the tips.

I figure i have to learn the patterns better cause the speed is in my right hand just need to sync it with my left

yeah, one thing that always helps me in this type of solos is to divide it in sections and practice each section looped with a metronome as a technique exercise.
