so basically how a real electric guitar works is a string being plucked/strummed and then it goes through an amplifier(pretty much just distortion). so just try to recreate it. take the synth of your choice and make it a square/saw wave w/ a tiny amount of detune. then set a low pass filter with an envelope with a long attack. The complex part is the amp. I wont go into a bunch of detail, but basically mess around with a ton of compressors, waveshapers, eqs, detune, chorus, reverb, etc until you find something you like. this wont sound that much like a real guitar but there's not so much you can do about that. if you know the basics of sound design, this should be understandable, but if not, I would strongly suggest learning how to sound design. if this is not worth your time, just look at my most recent track as of now.
