Over the years when I do sometimes play electric guitar, I mostly played light strings on the electric. To be honest, I’m real tired of “light” strings ’cause it’s easier to play. Way too easy. I think from now on when I play electric guitar, I’m going use heavier strings for electric. I’m going be using the size 11’s on electric, the medium gauge. With the heavier strings on electric, I can keep my calluses going. I’ll also be able to pound on the guitar harder and will be able to have a fuller and bigger sound too.

Throughout the 20 years or so I’ve been playing guitar, I’ve played acoustic my entire life and I really wanna focus on electric more. Become more of an electric player. I love the electric guitar. I’ll never give up the acoustic, of course but I wanna focus on electric. I wanna focus on different sounds. Using all kinds of effects and stuff so soon I’ll start a pedal collection. Thanks to AmpliTube for the Ipad, I’ve been messing around with all the virtual pedals on that app and a lot of their pedals sound badass: fuzz, delay, chorus and echo. I wanna buy a real pedal of all those sounds soon. I’ve always wanted to get a fuzz pedal and will get one soon. Fuzz pedals are great for rock music and lead guitar solos.

The whole reason I picked up the guitar is ’cause I wanted to be an electric player. It was important to learn on acoustic first. Now I think I finally wanna focus on electric guitar. I wanna to start writing a lot of rock songs with distortion, fuzz and all that stuff. Make some real guitar music!
