I like the instrument sound, and also vocals sound good. Also balances feel good to me. So you're doing a good job here.
My main development ideas would be about the space. This kind of music benefits of illusion of real band playing together. Now there’s not so coherent space. Instrument sound too much separately played and I can almost hear/see the headphones in singers head . Maybe you should try to glue the space some how. I’m not sure how, but maybe just a little bit feeling of early reflection to near instruments and vocals. Something that is not so obvious, but still makes a big difference.
The opening guitar sounds to me too processed. It somewhat takes the focus from the singer. This is one of the best songs and singers in this forum. I feel that while mixing this kind of song one should think: what is the best sound for the guitar (or any instrument), to make the vocal sound awesome.
