The guitar work on this track is very good, and that is a significant accomplishment. If you are looking for ways to improve the track, read the next paragraph, otherwise skip it.
First off, would be great to know what kind of processing / mixing was done here. For starters you want to consider the mixing levels of whatever drum machine or software you are using. As has been pointed out before, the snare is fairly hot here, and the drums and cymbals would benefit a great deal from some eq to get them to blend into the track more. The whole affair sounds pretty heavily compressed, which is fine, but from the sound of your playing, my ear seems to think there were a lot more dynamics in it at one time, and I actually think it might be better with those back, especially with some of the lead riffs. If you are going for "demo" track that proves what you are capable of, this is an outstanding piece of work. If you are going for something to "release" I would suggest getting an engineer / mixologist to work with you. It seems to have some good pieces in place, but they could be combined even better.
All in all a very good track, compares quite favorably with some of the others that I have heard here.
With that said, there's way more popular players than me that have put out far less quality that this track is here. I don't feel so bad. Besides, the content is there for sure, I'm confident of that.
Indeed - please note (from original post): If you are going for "demo" track that proves what you are capable of, this is an outstanding piece of work.
You should not feel bad in any way.
