I figured I'd take a plunge into the vid world.
Hopefully you guys can look at my mistakes, lots of mistakes, and help me with them I obviously know where i got notes wrong I am lookig for ways to Improve technique. for example I stall a lot at the start of some fast alternate picked runs
The tune is rest in peace by extreme. (plus some random widdley shitee at the end)

Theres a lot to alternate picking so its hard to know where to start but I will say this.

1)  Learning any thing by Nuno Bettencourt is great.  That man is a master rythm guitarist, lead guitarist, acoustic guitarist and songwriter/composer so you can learn God knows how much technique just learning his songs if you never learnt any one elses ever again!

2)  Consider using a metronome and play at a speed where you are comfortable and then just keep knocking it up 5-10bpm when you can nail it.  John Petrucci recommended some times knocking it up say 20bpm or more and coming back down which makes it easier.  Some times you just have to go for it and not always practise slowly!

3) Always carry on when you make a mistake.  If you stop youll never learn to get the flow right.

Sadly I think its just practise.  Id recommend instructional videos by john petrucci as that seems to be aimed at intermediate players and above but if you get some thing by steve morse or al di meola even though its advanced youll be able to pick ideas out which will help you.

BTW it doesnt sound like youre that far off so keep at it.

Thanks so much for the feedback!

A question; do you think my bends are accurate?

Thanks again

I think thats more subjective. Id just listen to it your self and see what you think.  Listen to your favourite players.

Some people like the Zakk Wylde/John Sykes type vibrato some think it sounds like a choking chicken (I like it). 
Personally I like Yngwie's vibrato the best but some people bash that I think they must be deaf......
