Not bad... but personally I find the overdrive tone really 'fuzzy'.
Sounds almost like a guitar played through an effects unit rather than an amp.
What kind of effects are you using and do you have an effects send/receive plug on your pedal?
If so, you might want to consider getting an amp emulator... like Redbox II.
It'll take that 'fuzzy' sound and make it more like a real amp.

You've got a few timing issues as well. You might try playing to a metronome or drum machine.
The intro is good, but I'd shorten it a little and go into the overdrive portion sooner.

All my own opinions though... otherwise, pretty good job.
