except you didn't explain how you panned the two tracks hard left and right to get that open chorused effect like if i followed your directions exactly you wouldn't have ended up with what you played you would have ended up with like you said, "the same thing but louder" which is really not what you want. you're missing that crucial step
also like... the reason you do that isn't really to make it "fill the room" it's because electric guitars take up a lot of sonic space and doing that helps open things up and makes things more clear rather than mashing everything on top of each other
idk man i appreciate what you were trying to do here, don't get me wrong! but if i didn't already have a basic understanding on how guitars are often mixed i don't think i would have had any idea what you were doing. sure, you explained sorta what you were doing, but you didn't explain HOW to do it, which is honestly the most important thing if you're trying to help people

First of all, thank you humbly for your feedback!
I mentioned that I panned it to the left and right just before the riff starts, but you're right. I probably should have emphasized that a bit more.
And with "filling the room" i basically tried to explain that this process would give the sound a stereophonic feel and add another "dimension" to it. It's probably the lack of my english skills, since german is my mother tongue.
But after all we admins are here to answer those questions, if there are some coming up. (I should probably mention that in the submission info, too.^^)
I will your consider your critique for my future projects and workshops. So thanks again.
PAX! :3

For everyone, who's coming late to the show: I've found a good example for almost perfecty done doubling in vocals:
Into The Woods - Agony
Pay close attention to the first iteration of the hookline "Agony" - especially at the words 'beyond' and the ending of the work 'speech'. You can also hear a natural chorus effect.
(In this case you wouldn't pan them to left and right, but stack the right over another)
I guess the production of the film decided that his voice there was not powerful enough there compared to Billy's and so they doubled it.
