how do i thicken up this guitar tone and bring some life to this?

Q is the width parameter of an EQ. :D

I'm glad you appreciate, I'm not the best mixer ever, but I try to tell others what I learned.
 
Yes it is. Lower the NYC parallel comp track, it's really kicking out too much!

Just add that little bit of energy to it, not more. It's normal if it's way down the fader, stop when you hear it a bit but really miss it when it's gone.
