Topic: Acoustic to Electric transition...advice
I´m a beginner acoustic player (1 year more or less), but I´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´s so much more to learn and experiment, and the more I realise that I´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´s crazy it´s like I´m addicted!
Anyway, like 99% of anyone who´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´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
