The idea for this arrangement was to start off simple and get a bit more complicated per section before reverting back during the solo-esque part at the end.

-m1: The L.H. F# on beat 4.5 should be a Gn
-m30 and on: I think it's alright to keep this part in A major (3 sharps): the solo is playing an A mixolydian scale, which is the same as A major except with a Gn instead of a G# (the same scale used in the first 7 measures). The tonic is still A though, so it doesn't feel like it has modulated.
-m31, 33 and 37: I hear the R.H. grace notes here a semitone lower (so without sharps)
-m34: Instead of grace note and two sixteenths, I hear the C#-D-C# as triplet 16ths or as a mordent on a C#.
-m37: The L.H. in beat 3-4 plays two low Gn's and a high Gn, instead of the two low A's and E. Also, for the R.H., the D-Gn and E-A dyads sound more prominent than the solo melody from beat 3.25, maybe you could arrange those instead?

The sheet has been updated with all of the above addressed.

Two tiny things:
-It's best to break the beam of the triplet like this:

I don't think I ever did this myself before actually (or usually always used triplet brackets), but this is the recommended way according to between bars. The way to do this is with the Beam Break Tool in Special Tools, double click the B after the triplet, and select "16th" box in the Beam Durations section.
-I hear the D-Gn's and E-A at the end of m37 an octave higher (though maybe also a Gn and A underneath in power chord voicing, like in m2)

That's all tho!

[NineLives]

Done and done!

[Bloop]

Awesome, I'll approve!

• Seems like the BPM note doesn't match our new font requirements
• m1b1 in the LH can be written as a dotted eighth rest, if you'd like

That's all from me though, solid job on this!

[NineLives]

The bpm note has been updated, but I'm keeping the rests the same because I think it'd make for better readability.
