Hi mate!
This lesson is so cool to play, it's very tasty and includes lots of cool double stop ideas. Your work on this lesson is very good. All the phrases sound clean in this video, and I think that there is just a bit to do to be able to play a take as good as the original. There are some elements that you could work or focus in order to achieve it. - Tone: Some more attack, high mids could make your take sound more defined. - Timing: Your timing is not bad but there are very moments in which your rush some notes of the licks. - Vibrato and bending: Not bad but there is more room to adjust vibrato, and I've heard at least 2 bends that are not reaching the correct pitch. - Dynamics: This is the element that your take is lacking more. Pay attention to how different intensities are achieved with the combination of pick and fingers in the original lesson. That's all by now. My grade will be good because the take is good.

In my opinion your timing is descent - you only loose control over it at the moments you hesitate where to put your fingers. I bet it's just a matter of getting even more familiar with the lesson. This point is called "fingers memory" and it gives us the ability to fully focus on dynamics and timing. For my taste your dynamics are fine - yes you could increase them even more (like Gab has pointed) but they are fine the way they are and your take is far from being flat
