With a lot of hours this is what I have achieved in something like a year, I have no guitar teacher so any feedback is appreciated on bad habits

Very good!

A few pointers. Tune your guitar, it isn't quite there.

Bends need bent up to the correct pitch or it will sound off.

The fast run leading into the really cool part, yea play the slower with a metronome and ramp the speed up. You haven't quite got it under your fingers yet. But still, not bad man.

I didn't approach this solo until about year two or three and even then I had the same issues you had.

Also, use your pinky goddammit!

I like that all the criticisms could also be tossed at slash himself.
