re: How much guitar is too much, on a recording?

On topic: I've become a big fan of 90's Alt-Rock producer Rick Beato's YT series "What Makes This Song Great". He has somehow come up with the original multitrack recordings, and is thus able to break out and explain how all of the parts are blended together.

For example, we've all heard the music of Tom Petty played to death (no pun) on classic rock radio. Until I studied this video, I had no idea how much went into that one song.
