Hey Coach,

Definitely get the MIM strat. It’ll be a great intro to electric for you and the MIM strats are really great. I have a sunburst one that I purchased several years ago for $400 and it’s well worth it. Even though I love all the electric classic rock music, I don’t play my electric as much as my acoustic because I’m lazy and it’s so much easier just to pick up the acoustic. Also, I’m focusing more on fingerpicking these days on the acoustic. IMHO, getting your acoustic chops down first helps you tremendously with electric. However, I have found and been told by my previous electric guitar teacher that I press down too hard on the strings causing the notes to be out of tune. I attribute that to playing much more acoustic. I agree with others that it seems easier to play electric because of the lighter gauge strings. Hope this helps also.

Cheers!

Bravo David!! Beautifully done. I’ve been working on this one also and still working on some of the more fiddly parts. Such a beautiful fingerpicking tune and your rendition was so inspiring..
