That sounds logical, off course, I should&#180;ve bought a smaller pick  <img src="images/smiley_icons/icon_confused.gif" border=0 alt="Confused"> heheh I&#180;ll go buy one as soon as I can...I practice everyday on the acoustic! I can&#180;t get enough of it  <img src="images/smiley_icons/icon_eek.gif" border=0 alt="Shocked"> I&#180;m so sorry I didn&#180;t start sooner (I&#180;m 25 now) but I&#180;m making up for the time lost by practicing every single day, sometimes I get home really late and really tired and still grab the guitar, even if it&#180;s just for 5 minutes, like i&#180;ll do a scale or improvise a solo (crap most of the time) or something like that...


I wish the day would had 72 hours it would be 24 acoustic, 24 electric and 24 girlfriend   



Thanks for the advice!

Thanks for the reply!


I&#180;ve bought a pick, I chose a medium because i really didn&#180;t know what to buy  <img src="images/smiley_icons/icon_rolleyes.gif" border=0 alt="Rolling Eyes"> but I know guitar players usually have more then one pick so i guess it won&#180;t hurt to keep it.


Im gonna start by learning some The Strokes songs for 2 reasons: first reason they rock!!  <img src="images/smiley_icons/icon_twisted.gif" border=0 alt="Twisted Evil">  second reason some of their songs don&#180;t seem to hard...solos apart...

I&#180;m a beginner acoustic player (1 year more or less), but I&#180;ve had supervision from experienced players wich I think definitly busted my progression. I can play lots of chords and scales, and almost all the bar chords figures also.


I am happy with my evolution on one side but the more I learn the more I realise there&#180;s so much more to learn and experiment, and the more I realise that I&#180;m a million miles away from playing well, every the day I feel a bigger urge to learn more, play more, listen to more music! it&#180;s crazy it&#180;s like I&#180;m addicted!


Anyway, like 99% of anyone who&#180;s ever picked up a guitar I started to listen to Jimi Hendrix, like a year ago or so...and I feel a great deal of atraction towards the electric guitar, my brother has one so I want to start to play the electric guitar also...I would like to know if any of you also made that transition (acoustic - electric) and what advice do you have to someone wishing to do it successfully. Is it to soon to start with the electric guitar? I always finger pick in the acoustic so I&#180;m not at all familiar with a pick, wich I consider a large handicap...


anyway, sorry about the long read and i hope someone can post some advice here.


thanks
