Can copying a guitar take make it wider?

Listen on stereo headphones. Hear the same complete riff twice. In A, the channels are identical. In B, a simulated second take adds small differences you can hear in stereo.

Why the second example sounds wider

A plays the same take at the same level in both channels, so it sounds centred. B simulates a second performance with small differences in timing, pitch and level. Those differences give each ear a slightly different signal.
