    I switched out my acoustic for a Gretsch Semi-Hollow Body. The neck on the electrics seem thinner and smaller so chords are easier to make. Plus the Semi-Hollows can still be played unplugged and with a great tone. Plus take the finger stretch skill course. Its a life changer.

    I bought a variety pack of picks as I was losing the grip on the one I had. Likely from the hard strumming. Finally settled on a small stiff pick and doing as you say and letting very little show. Still hitting hard, but going to keep at it and do some drum stick exercises as Loraine pointed out.

    Great Advice! I will try them out. Definitely trying to be patient with myself.
