You’re at beginner garage-band stage. Keep it up, find a few friends who play, and after a good bit of practice you should be able to get a few local bar gigs playing for free. You don’t yet have the skills to hold a 3-piece together (nor do I!) so try to find another guitar player, ideally one better than you who would enjoy coaching you.
Consider attending local blues jams. You’re clearly not a blues player, but working on blues can help round out your skillset, and it’s a great way to meet other players and people who might be interested in playing together and/or giving you some coaching. Plus, blues is easier than music.
Start working on learning specific songs (in addition to noodling – never quit doing that!) Play as regularly as possible with other people.
Of course, to play gigs, you’d need an amp, so start saving your nickels if that’s what you’d like to do. Amplitube is fine, but you don’t want to be playing your guitar through the PA only, at least, not at the starter band level. (Pro level players who understand the stage scene and especially whose bands are using in-ear monitors, sure they can do that.) There are other alternatives; let us know and we can help you burn that bridge when you get to it.
The world is chock full of talented guitar players. What too many of them lack is taste, objectivity, listening to the other players, and the ability to play at reasonable volumes. As an entry-level player, if you focus on the latter more than merely building skills, you’ll be more of an asset than a drawback, and you’ll stand out well compared to technically better players.
For perspective, here’s me on electric guitar:
'Cause We’ve Ended as Lovers me doing my best to channel Jeff Beck and not sucking too bad (that’s me on the other instruments too).
Cool Fever a jam track I downloaded from Les Paul Forum
Every So Often I’m the archtop guitar on left, the first electric that comes in.
As a guitarist, I’m far from up to being able to front a 3-piece. I could play second guitar in a local bottom-tier blues or rock band. I use the term “bottom tier” lovingly, including lots of bands that play locally but never tour, have occasional party gigs, and get at most a couple hundred bucks for a bar gig (after proving you can pull a crowd by playing for tips), playing in the smaller venues.
You’re closer to nailing the sound and tone for your genre than I am in these recordings. Honestly, that’s harder than picking up all the licks and cleaning up the articulation. (In your genre, good articulation is critical because there’s so much balls in the sound, the tiniest slop turns into super-magnified noise.) Getting the right tone is a lot more technique than equipment.
Anyway, go for it! Do your best (by listening, and working on having decent timing) to be the kind of player that players who are better than you are want to play with. Good luck!
