So recently I'm starting to use my guitars. I'm still the worst, sloppiest guitar user you ever heard, but I'm having fun making these. Any suggestions besides quitting?

Amazing work friend - I wouldn't say the guitar work is 'sloppy' in the negative sense; it has a nice 'lazy' vibe (for lack of a better term) ala Queens of The Stone Age - fits the song perfectly. Had me bobbing my head. Guitar tone is nice too, what amp/pedal are you using?
Suggestions -- none, keep it as it is.
Going back to the 'sloppy' term. I'm more inclined to listen to guitarists who maybe aren't the best technically but push their ability to the limit to conjure up something that is more creative than it is overly technical and virtuosic (though occasionally an artist in the latter camp will catch my attention, like max ostro or Eric gales..)
By the way i've been to Gdansk - lovely city. I frequent the Mystic festival.

Love the contrast between the chilled electronica sections and the guitar led chunks...great groove throughout!
Enjoyed it a lot!
1 small point:
Ends a bit suddenly...I seriously wanted that electronica bit again to end it all...just like it started.

Thank you for listening. 
Regarding the guitar sound it's just 3x kazrog's AmpCraft 1992 (open crunch preset with minor cab tweaks). I'm just as noob to nuances of guitar amp sound as to playing in general. I just leave the first sound that seems acceptable and move on.
Lazy vibe is a nice term for sloppy playing, but thanks anyway. I think it worked well enough in this track. QOTSA was one of my inspirations (simple and messy in fine way).frank1985 wrote: Wed Feb 18, 2026 10:47 pm Amazing work friend - I wouldn't say the guitar work is 'sloppy' in the negative sense; it has a nice 'lazy' vibe (for lack of a better term) ala Queens of The Stone Age - fits the song perfectly.

Thanks for the insight. I think I will leave it the way it is. Might do some tweaks to that bare minimum mix. I tend to make annoying fadeouts and codas in my songs, and lately try to do less of these.ChameleonMusic wrote: Thu Feb 19, 2026 4:29 pm Ends a bit suddenly...I seriously wanted that electronica bit again to end it all...just like it started.
I've never been to Mystic Festival myself. Too expensive, but I can hear the whole thing through my window anyway.frank1985 wrote: Wed Feb 18, 2026 10:47 pm By the way i've been to Gdansk - lovely city. I frequent the Mystic festival.
