My try on this one.

I'll be frank... I have no idea if you'll like this or not! it might look simple because it's only one guitar and two voices, but sometimes in the simplicity lies the biggest difficulty. It's easier to hide a not too good sounding instrument when you have many more around it; but here...everything is exposed!

I tried to get rid of the vocal from the guitar track, but I had no success, so I kept it just as it was provided. Also, I decided to keep the male voice in the center and the guitar and female voice a little bit panned to the right and left.

linda mezcla Juan!!! estas son las mas dificiles, yo hubiera doblado las guitarras y paneado ambasy las voces las metes adentro como un sandwich, las voces con un hall cortito y queda hermoso.
me gusto tu mezcla, lo mio solo una sugerencia.

un abrazo

Me alegro mucho, Sergio!
Its a shame the vox and guitar was recorded together
Not a bad job
Agree last statement. I know that voice/guitar problem havin lived with it most my life
The solution is in how you look at it. One mic is the other mics extra mic, so the excersise is to find a balance where they blend and sound natural.
About the guitar bleed on voice track: wise decision you didnt try removin it. If you duck the guitarspill on voice track you will most likely create a big guitar while vox is on and smaller when voice is silent. Compressin them difrently can also create weird sounds. That is if compression is necessary. My approach to mixin this were get as far as I could with phase nudges, pan, verb and balance. Then eq and no comp at all.
