Not bad, just keep up the little improvements. I would definitely suggest at least learning the swept arpeggio at the end of the chorus... it probably seems impossible now but anyone can play it if they practice it for long enough! ;) If you feel like you're ever up against a brick wall with the solo hit me up and I can help you overcome your speed barriers. Good luck!

First things first, learn it in it's entirety Note-for-note, and know which direction each pick gets, and practice the same way every time. During this phase you need to make sure that you are playing the notes perfectly, even if they are not on beat, even if it's extremely slow. Make sure your picking and fretting hands are in perfect sync, meaning you fret the note and strum at the exact same time.

Once you can comfortably play all the sections from memory, (which will probably take at least 3-4 hours) try and find a "top speed" at which you can play it cleanly, on beat, all the way through. You should not be trying to play fast at this point, just play fast enough to where you don't make mistakes, even if that means 20% speed. Once you find your top speed, practice the different sections over and over and over and over, make them feel super comfortable, you should be able to be so good as you can look away from your hands while playing. Once you achieve that, then, and only then, bump up the metronome by 1-2bpm, and repeat the repetitions and make sure you are super comfortable before bumping up the speed again. You will notice you will be making more and faster speed gains at first, then once you get to about 75% your progress might seem slower, and you will be working harder.... don't give up!

I would recommend watching at least a part of my video here, it is filled with practice tips to help you get the most out of improving your technique.
