Cool one hundav!
A few things though: I find the drums too far and the guitar 1 is too far as well (too much reverb, or at least not enough pre-delay), this doesn't help the chorus in particular which lacks punch.
The drums I think you've used too much of the room mic, I can hear it from the cymbals which are too loud.
The bass is a bit undefined as well, I can hear how much especially during the walking part (after the second guitar solo), it's hard to hear what notes are being played.
The result (with the extra drums room mic and reverb) is a lack of clarity and a build up in the low-mids.
Keep it up!

Hi Patrick!
Useful sights. I upload a new version. I left a little chorus only on the guitar, diminished the room mics sound, and I claimed it on the bass.
Have a nice day!

Much better David! It's getting there nicely.
I think you've pushed that first guitar a bit too much though this time. The first solo is lower than this one.
I would try to dial that guitar at a level which is in between your 2 versions, and push that first solo a bit.
Apart from that great version, I like it!

The problems repaired, thanks.
