I liked this because it breathed - lots of space without feeling like something should be filling it in.
I think there may be too much verb on the lead, not a whole lot "too much" but I think it could be pulled back some without losing the dynamics - where the verb is really in evidence is during a couple of instrumental passages . . .way too many notes, everything running together, whatever dexterity you are demonstrating . . .and you have quite a set of fingers there . . . is lost in a jumble of notes and reverb. IMO it takes away from the overall continuity and cohesiveness - the production breathes beautifully, it pulled me in, but those passages made me want to fast forward. The song and production is great except for this. You may be able to drive that guitar at 200mph but the production doesn't need it to succeed - save it for the live venues.
Noel mentioned the vocal level - I agree it needs a boost - maybe a bit in the low-mid range OR pull back the same range in the competing instruments. Don't forget, when you mix a familiar tune, familiar lyrics tend to sink into the background. Suggestion: Try your mix in mono to set your levels and see where the eq trouble spots are.

Hope this is helpful - Great stuff swanny.
