layering multiple guitar tracks for a bigger sound?

i understand the principles, but what is the best way to do this?

when i want to record a fairly heavy rock song with many distorted rhythm guitars. i want the song to get louder and fuller in the pre-chorus, and louder and fuller still during the chorus

1. how many guitar tracks should i layer for each part of the song?

Big fat question...

Ok now here is the deal, i was reading the reviews of the songs from this group project and it seems that the ones that recieved the best reviews were the ones whiich lacked a 20-450 section. This made the song very brittle and clean. Is that what clients want in a song? This brittle and clean and powerles music? Just listen to those which recieved high reviews and you'll see what i mean.

Big Guitar for 3 Pc. Blues

I have always been a fan of that Texas Blues sound started by Albert Collins and later by Billy Gibbons and Stevie Ray Vaughan. SRV's engineer on his early work really captured that sound perfectly. It sounds like your at a live show with big guitar all around. I'm not looking to copy it, just get some of that big guitar sound into our recordings.
