When I first sold off my amps...before "giving in" to the idea of borrowing my daughter's Micro-Cube...I played acoustic exclusively for a month.


When I plugged in an electric after all that time, my fingers were mighty ball-pean hammers of suck, that threatened to punch through even the sturdiest of rosewood fretboards. My vibrato was quick & warbly, and I could breal concrete with a fingertip!

Okay almost all that is true, but the benefit of getting used to these techniques on an acoustic is being able to perform all but but the concrete shattering techniques with less effort on a well set-up electric.
