loopers have helped me a lot. when i am composing something new, i often make a loop of it then jam along to see what fits ... i went a little overboard finding parts for this one... still it is a lot of fun to play out at open mic. ...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dplooODwJl8

Outside the Box
when i first discovered the voicings that were available in DADGAD when approaching my fingerings from over the top. this was the 3rd song that i wrote.. and little half bends on the "B" string are also very easy from this hand position. also using a 4 string capo ( i had to cut it off LOL) SO WHO ARE YOU NOW???

Help with speed
I just started playing bass in August to help my wife's band. They play rock with a bit of punk influence, and the songs sound best with a pick. That said, one of the strumming patterns is moving fast for me. I'm holding the pick closer to my palm now and that has helped, but does anyone have any other tips for speed?

dont think i can offer any tips for playing bass. i have never seen anyone hold a pick like that. looks awkward to me.. but if it works that's cool.

@Bill Sadowski . Everybody has their own way of doing things. I preferred Fender heavies and my thumb and first finger.

Electric Guitar Strings on an Acoustic Guitar?
I went to a music store about 20 miles from me to pick up some new strings for my acoustic. Unfortunately they were out of the strings I always use, which feature an unwound G string (better for string bending). The employee recommended a set of electric strings he thought would sound about the same. I didn't buy them. I'm sure they would work, but question how much sound quality would be lost. Have you ever used electric guitar strings on an acoustic? If so, what's your opinion of it?

In the 70s I used to use electric strings on the acoustic all the time. I was getting into bending and I liked having an unwound G-string . Trying to stay in tune could be an issue sometimes. Since I play mostly acoustic these days I'm used to having a wound g-string. One trick I have learned when bending any string is to slide your finger up 1 fret and then bend it a half a step. You still get the effect of bending a full step and you can add vibrato easier. I also do that on the acoustic when I am at the next to last fret up the neck on the B string and I need a full bend I go to the last fret and bend it halfway and give it some Vibrato
