I am managing to make progress very slowly with my electric

Have only had the acoustic for a couple of weeks and finding a huge difference.

Stretching for chords , having to be more precise in finger placement and more pressure to make the clean sounds.

I was struggling to find a strumming method which was consistent.

Using index sounds scratchy, using thumb was better but oh so quiet.

Using a 0.5 red Jim Dunlop pick was OK but sound was so variable between down strokes and the up strokes.

Today my white 0.38 Jim Dunlops arrived and even though they feel so flimsy and very floppy they have made a ton of difference.

Have very happily gone through my afternoon practice session with my acoustic .

Good tone on chords

Good tone on both up and down on the strumming sequences.

Happy Camper,

Does this imply my strumming technique is on the heavy side when I struggle with a 0.5 pick. Assuming this can only get better over time.

Next change will be 10-47 Martins from Elixir 12-53s when the string change is due.
