Thanks a lot for your advise, it is much appreciated. I'll try to play slowly and see what happens. I like improvising but it's gonna take a while before I get something decent out of my guitar. I also checked your youtube channel and it's very good you've a nice collection of videos. What I find challenging at present is to understand how to set my guitar. It sounds good, but you can hear the single notes being played, like the classical guitar. I was told to buy overdrive and compressor but still I can't get that nice violin like sound.

Funnily enough, I'm a guitar player primarily who dabbles with bass - I joined basschat before I signed up here, but I post here far more. I have something in the region of a dozen guitars and have probably owned 15 or so altogether over the last 30 years. I've got three basses - a Squier Precision Special (a hybrid with a J neck, P body, and P J pickup arrangement), a Brandoni 62 spec P type Bass, and a rare, early natural finish Westone Thunder IA, all lefty. I have over the years discovered that the only bass that really bites me is a p bass. I'm intending to sell the Squier and the Westone. Eventually I'd like to buy a Fender Player P Bass in tidepool. If ever I got into playing out again, I might be tempted to save my pennies for a Ric 4003 in midnight blue. I'm also going to sell most of my guitars and replace those with another Strat or two (aim at present, a Tidepool Player and a ShiJie in Daphne if I can try before I buy and like it), a Gretsch type and a non-cutaway archtop of some sort, likely a Godin.
