... a few thoughts....first off....electric guitar is not generally a solo instrument...it was designed to be used in an ensemble setting....the only solo electric players i've heard that can pull it off are very accomplished musicians and have likely spent thousands of hours playing....if you are playing electric you need to be playing along with a band or at least a recording of a band....that will soften the effects of the bullets flying out of your amp....it will also inform your playing and help guide you through what sounds right and what doesn't...another issue is gear...a Twin Reverb is a concert hall amp...its designed to be played at ear splitting volume...a smaller amp like a Princeton may give you a much more usable tone....ambient effects like chorus and delay can give your tone something to work with as well...of course the most important thing is practice....if you had the hours into electric playing that you have into acoustic playing you would be equally proficient...theres no way around that....
