Timing is also good, but you should be careful when riffing, as it needs to be really tight, and you should make those longer accented notes last as long as possible. Biggest problem here is the fact that your guitar is slightly out of tune. Probably due to dropped A, which is normal, but when recording something, always double check your tuning, and stretch the strings a bit so they don't go out of tune while you record. This will create proper interval strength on the powerchords and sound consonant. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

I'm talking mainly about the riff from 0:09 - 0:11. Also, you could make the palm muting a little chunkier on the opening and end riffs as well. Apart from that, I've nothing to add so very well played ! You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

Also noticed you tweaked some stuff here and there which is not bad at all, as all of us feel some things different I say tidy it up a bit and it can be flawless!
