You are very welcomed sir.
Note, it isn't really about mistakes, and opinions around here mean very little. I try to be objective as possible, which is always hard for engineers to do.
That said, try something next time around (I'm on my 3rd mix of this song, because it creates the perfect practice challenge time and again--I take long breaks, then eventually come back and start over!):
Next time you mix this tune, try doing the guitars completely in mono until you've gone about as far as you can before starting the stereo spread. Just give it a whirl. I think this song almost demands it. I'm an old Cure fan, and love groups like Radiohead and Foo Fighters, so huge walls of guitars are my passion when it comes to the fight in the mix (make no mistake, there's going to be a fight, right? lol).
Anyway, would love to hear the next one. Try the mono thing, then, once you feel they're killin', start panning.
Look forward to the next mix.
