Either those guitars are a VST instrument, or there is a serious amount of editing going on.

the guitars are real, but i know what you mean! i tried the cutting everything up and moving to the beat etc, do you think it is because of that that it sounds fake, or the processing?

Snare verb is very annoying, loving the music writing. Guitars sound fake, I think it's mostly because of the source

Almost sounds like the guitars are midi. I think the best part of this mix is the bass tone. I think the snare verb should be stereo instead of mono. I think you're on the right track....just a little too overboard on the "tightness" haha
