For starters, I'm really new to making music, I mainly just play guitar and piano and the digital side of things has always been an enigma. My song that I'm currently making has a piano, a Midi choir, a pretty simple but fast paced beat, and a very similar bass line. I want to have a metalish rhythm guitar part, and a lead guitar, that would be everything I'm putting in it. Maybe getting rid of the choir for the rhythm guitar or interchanging them, and the piano and lead guitar would go back and forth like a duet.

Now the tricky thing is that whenever I add in the first guitar, it either sounds like horse crap, or makes everything else sound like horse crap. If it's too quiet I can't hear it, but the second it's loud enough to be audible it distracts from everything else. I've tried messing with eq, and panning different instruments, but I don't really have a clue of what I'm doing with that and it doesn't seem to help. I can imagine the song in my head, and I'm sure if I could get it to sound like that it would be good, but I just can't get it to that point.

Tl:Dr I suck, am inexperienced, don't know how to probably put an electric guitar in a mix without it sounding bad
