What did you use to record this, and how/where was it recorded?
To my ear, the room intrudes quite a bit, which is fairly typical when you set up something at a distance to pick up both the guitar and vocal in a space that has some reflections that will also get picked up, i.e., it's either small or has a lot of hard surfaces, or both. There are a lot of ways to skin this cat, so it's good to know where you are starting, and what you might be able to fix/change, rather than suggesting to do this or that, e.g., what I've done, which might not be reasonable, and might not sound any good to you, anyway! P.S. That comment on your track has a scammer whiff about it - I'd ignore it, but that's me...

There's a lot going on there.
So how to deal with it all.
Here's a DYI video on building gobos. There are a lot of these kinds of videos on YouTube but I dislike most of them because they all use a solid perimeter frame and that lessens the effectiveness of the gobo.

I suggest getting a book on recording techniques and then come back here once you have basic knowledge for refinements.

On my standard issue 5.1 Logitech surround sound computer speakers it sounds decent, just the vocals are a little hollow sounding, but that adds to the "raw vibe" of the tune.
However, when I put on my headphones and bypass my computer's sound card by using my focusrite, much of the vibe is replaced by harshness. So the playing is fine, the vocals are fine, the tune is fine, you just need a "softer" room to record in, imo.
