My first real attempt at songwritting

So here it is, a guitar pro file and a midi file, chose what you wish and give me your opinion. This is the first time I tried writting a song. The riffs and the main idea, I came up today while messing around in the garrage. This version of the song has only guitars, and no solo (which i want to add).
Tell me what you think about the riffs themselves, and the arrangement, and give me some suggestions to make it better, and how to "practice songwritting". Depending on what you guys think I will add drums and bass in guitar pro and give it a better mix.
BTW, i have riffs and a solo idea for 2 more songs, i just can't put them togheter yet. The other songs are actually heavier, but other than that.
here there are. the work title decribes what bands i ripped off in the process, megadeth, gojira and sepultura
thanks!

Don't have the program to listen to it, but I can tell you that your songwriting will only get better if you keep doing it. Try putting those other ideas into full songs, then keep mixing and matching riffs or bridges or new ideas into or out of them. Sometimes if you leave it alone for a while and stop noodling all the time, then new ideas come to you that you might not have thought of before.
Also Megadeth is definetly a great band to borrow ideas or song templates from. I'd reccomend looking at the way Marty Friedman writes a solo and using some of his style just to get started.
