Just play guitar. At least I think that will get me close to where I want to be... :)
You might be better suited to a Fender type with not-so-light strings -- a guitar you wail on like an acoustic, cuz it fights back a bit. LPs? Hah! Don't even need calluses for those. :wink: Ya know, I never thought of it that way. I need to go out and get a Strat now. Thanks man. I got GAS. :mrgreen:]]> Guitar Players Discussion Blueline https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/how-the-electric-guitar-killed-my-technique/paged/2/#post-267848 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/how-the-electric-guitar-killed-my-technique/paged/2/#post-267620 Fri, 12 Oct 2007 03:14:17 +0000 Guitar Players Discussion Ignar Hillström https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/how-the-electric-guitar-killed-my-technique/paged/2/#post-267620 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/how-the-electric-guitar-killed-my-technique/paged/2/#post-267614 Fri, 12 Oct 2007 02:43:47 +0000
Unless you play with tons of distortion :roll:

Playing with lots of distortion covers up and hides many mistakes. Back off on the gain and you will hear them. If a player really wants to improve on electric they should practice with low gain or a clean tone.]]> Guitar Players Discussion Wes Inman https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/how-the-electric-guitar-killed-my-technique/paged/2/#post-267614 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/how-the-electric-guitar-killed-my-technique/#post-267500 Thu, 11 Oct 2007 08:59:00 +0000
So when you are going to start playing the electric, just make sure you have adjusted the mechanics of playing in your mind inside. Eg. you must change the way you hit the strings, the attack strength, the pressure with which you hold down the chords.

If you are concerned about your technique, it won't go wrong on any possible sort of guitar (or any other instrument for that matter).

Good Luck and keep practising.]]> Guitar Players Discussion Rahul https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/how-the-electric-guitar-killed-my-technique/#post-267500 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/how-the-electric-guitar-killed-my-technique/#post-267495 Thu, 11 Oct 2007 06:10:15 +0000 I think the answer is, give up your daytime job, forget about the lawn, taking out the garbage and cleaning the house.
