My problem is that i tend to roll the tone knob off. Im having problem when i put the tone knob all the way up - technique sounds very harsh!

It looks like a bad joke for the total lack of quality of the recording and for the noodling. Better acoustic than that...

In case you were instead serious your plectrum appears to me way too flexible...

Thanks @spatzo, I agree. The pick looked floppy. And yes, we can't really hear anything. Don't turn the tone down. Change your technique so it doesn't sound harsh.

Edit, for my phone auto corrections

https://youtube.com/shorts/qYIEIB4Zhrg?si=mvcqRifJt2ebpK2b Hey everyone, I really need some help.

I'm struggling with my technique, but the truth is… I don't even know exactly what's wrong. I'm stubborn and I keep pushing through, but I feel like I'm stuck in a loop—repeating the same things without improving. I know something needs to change, but I can't see clearly what that is.

If anyone's willing to take a look or offer guidance, even just a little feedback, I'd be truly grateful. I really want to get better, but I can't do it alone. Im in real despair!

For the love of God! I watched almost all the videos and still can't get it right! I don't wanna give up but im tormenting myself with my recordings! They never sound right in terms of sound!
