If you hate "fake" there's a Pat metheny "fake' running through this like a freight train! I don't find that annoying at all. But you can get rid of most of it by replacing [most of] the electric guitars with nicely miced acoustics WITH NO PROCESSOR crap after the fact, please. Thank You!!!
I thought the choice of this cover is the main limitation. You did a great job on it. Now choose something else! HAHAHA.
The drums need a lot more thought to get them sounding like a track worthy of backing up the rest of the work. If you can get in there and edit the MIDI with a CW like product, add a few hits on a tom or conga now and then in a reasonable (logical?) pattern to break up the repetitive nature of the track. It doesn't take many to individualize any track.
