Electric Playing

Hey all,

After a while away from GFB&B (Have been practising alot, that much I never even thought of posting ), I'm back with a question.

I've been playin my electric alot lately, and have problems getting anything out of it that sounds good. For example I can only do the songs I play on acoustic, and not anything that is really meant for an electric.
Also, most of the songs I look up for electric are kinda hard, seeing I am only a beginner.

Does anyone know any pattern or song I can play thru, that isn't too hard, and sounds good on electric? (like some rock) . Or is it more a question of "improvising" ?

Ty in advance

Daniel

I started fooling around with electrics more now also. It is quite a different ball game compared to acoustics. I found the following site quite helpful
