Sergio, if you listen to guitar on most rock records, you'll notice that the guitars sound 'wide', as in there are two distinct guitars sounding on opposite sides of you. There are two ways to do this:
1. Record one guitar track. Clone it to a new track. Pan one 100% left, the other 100% right. If you stop here, it sounds like nothing's changed because you have the exact same sound in both ears, which your brain interprets as 'center'. To change this, introduce a delay on one of the tracks (either by physically shifting it over a little bit, or using a delay plugin). Try 10-25ms. Now the tracks are different from each other, and the guitars sound 'thicker' as there are two distinct guitar sounds coming into your two ears.
2. or you can simply record two takes of the same guitar part, and pan them in separate directions. This is better, and I would even suggest introducing a slight delay on one of the tracks for further separation.
