total amateur here, so ive been recording a few tracks at home and im just looking for some mix advice, not sure how to set everthing without one instrument drowning out the other, so ive mixed them roughly to what i think sounds ok, each track a little differently. i dont think the guitars sound big enough either

heres a link 2 each track, see what ya think and any advice will be very much appreciated

the first track is a single guitar on each side and the second with 2 on each side, though i think the first track sounds better lol
 
guitars sound thin and fuzzy to me... is there a bassss? If there is it needs to come up a fair amount.

Everything sounds thin to me, but the guitars are what lets it down most, they are just so fuzzy.

I think your mix could benefit from a couple of things:

First of all your second track with 2 guitars sounds much better, it just seems fuller.
Try using the BBE Sonic Maximizer on your Rythm guitars, you'll be surprised at the results, just dont overdo it.
Bass needs to come up in the mix, i also think the kick drum needs some more bass and a tad bit louder.
If you dont have this already get it; Put Ozone 4 on your master channel, if you tweak it right it can breathe some
life into your mix. It turns my stuff from crap into something far more tolerable.
