Thank you for your reply.
I did not that much to the guitars at all. I think it is important to chose one mic as the main mic and mix the other in to add some sonical complexity. I did very little eqing and used a touch of delay, so I think it is the choice of the relative levels of the mics (and, not to forget, the way this sound works with the rest of the mix).
Well, I aimed at quite the opposite. I did not want it to sound more open or bigger. More like it collapsed a bit. Actually the lower levels from the drums helped in that part, as they gave the compressors less to work on which resulted in that effect. I think it comes down to aesthetic decisions here.

Quote:The end section of your mix I feel needs more reverb on the vocals and drums to give it bigger open sound to contrast against the rest of the song.
