[QUOTE=Slipin Lizard]Ok, here goes... I apologize for the length of this post.

Hi Slipin,

Just a thought.. when you play Acoustic I'm guessing you are pretty relaxed?
Could you be subconsciously tensioning up when doing "focused" practicing and timing etc on the Srat?
Tension would give the symtoms you describe if I read your post correctly.
Maybe something to look at.
Hope it helps.
Mike
