haha thanks but i'm sure you're as good as me or better, recently i've been slacking off so much because i honestly got over it. being in bands you meet sooo many guitarists with the most insane egos that it just turns you off to playing to be "good", so now I just play for fun or to figure out some notes in a song by ear; I no longer practice to be "good" at soloing or rhythm, I just practice by playing the songs I write or an occasional song for fun or ear training. Most of my songs actually aren't completely focused on the guitar, which is why i use fl studio because I have to get like 20 different synth/pad instruments for a song and then I just record guitars to a click and import it into fl studio, change the tempo and put all the other instruments in there; bam you have a song with 20 tracks easily done in one program.
You should get a line 6 pod, they're pretty cheap and if you have a decent guitar you can get some great sounds out of it/plug it directly into the computer. mine is an old pod and my guitar that i use most of the time is pretty shit so it doesn't sound great, but if you do maybe 2-4 tracks to a click and overlap them so they each have their own distinct sound it makes the guitar sound pretty huge. doing that is super easy because you can write all your instruments in a program like fl studio (i use this one module thing for the drums and it's beyond easy and sounds ok) and then just use the sampler program to import your guitar track. hell, for our previous ep on the song Noetic Affliction I wrote the outro synth thing in fl studio with a ton of different synths/pads/instruments then took that track to our engineer and he put it in protools, spruced it up a bit and bam it fit right on the song instead of having to deal with a bunch of bullshit.
