Re: amps

What settings are you on?  Many beginers set the amp and guitar to "11" and expect to sound good.  If this is the case turn your knobs down to a low setting on both the amp and guitar.  Get a good clean sound first, then play with the amp settings to shape the rest of the sound.  It can sometimes be harder to get a good sound out of low end equipment, but it can be done.
