My cheap fender beginner strat (got real cheap from a friend) feels heavy, I'm a short breh anyways. Should I cop a 3/4 size electric?

Interesting. With the experience you have under your belt. What can you do? What do you like to do? What do you think is the most impressive thing you can do?
Okay I got most of the chords down including switching. I'm not pressing the strings as tightly as when I started so it's smoother sounding.
The chord I can't play consistently is the D chord, the very first I learned. This has to do with my wrist position. Laying flat I will always get interruption form my third finger. I need to be aware of that.

Johnny Marr did some amazing work. If it takes that long I'm up for the challenge.
Cranberries made one of the best rock albums.

You don't need to go no higher than that bad boy right now if you starting out.
It's loud with awesome quality. I had a Roland Pro cube amp and while it was nice with some decent effects thrown in, (Chorus, Flanger, Phaser, Distortion) a quality pedal of any effect makes it moot, plus it got a bit "tingy" at louder levels.
The Katana's clean channel is fukking awesome and it also has a "brown" channel and one for crunch, I think.
It's lightweight. Like seriously. It feels like a kid toy and it's small as hell. I'll take pics for reference but you can literally tuck it in your backpack and walk with it.
It runs on 6 double A batteries and has Jacks in the back for both listening and recording output. Being able to practice at night with headphones instead of having to roll back the volume is a definite plus, especially if you're playing aggressive shyt like metal.
.......shyts awesome to the point I'm planning on buying the bigger models later on when I buy more Guitars.

I got the itch for a Fender Telecaster 
Jazz chords on a tele
Edit: just some advice for those trying to learn.... Learn 3 chords, learn to change between them quickly and cleanly. The idea is to learn songs. You have no clue the amount of people I've met that know 1,000 chords and inversions and all this other shyt but can't play in time with a drummer.
Meanwhile, my homegirl owns an acoustic, knows maybe 10 open chords and can sing and can play with a drummer/someone on congas and is an incredible musician.
Just a thought.

You going Squier or Fender? I was gonna cop a Telecaster in all black but I got to duck around with a Jazzmaster Graphite and I think that's gonna be my next cop.
Plus the placement of the tone and volume knobs let me play a righty model near flawlessly if a lefty ain't available when I'm ready to buy.

Fender. Preferably an early 80s tele. I'm drawn to the early 80s guitars for some reason. I had an 82' strat last year but sold it.

I don’t argue with niqqas on the Internet anymore
Metronome and get a beginner Mel bay book with notation
Start slow with the metronome, 5 clean transitions then go up 2 clicks (I go up 5 or 10 if I’m feeling gutsy) when you hit your ceiling with that take a break and do something else or practice another technique.
Sing your notes out loud if you have to and your one-and-two-ands

Oh, so you going vintage. Nice. How much would one run? My tone as a beginner is horrid to the point everything sounds the same type of horrible
(But I love it) so I wouldn't even justify copping anything vintage at this point but I heard a 74 strat hooked up to Marshall stack and the shyt sounded stellar. 
Also why'd you sell the strat??

I had that strat for about a month. I paid 3K for it, original hang tags and case, my boy came through and he had been looking for an 80s white strat, he's all funk and R&B, homie made me a dumb offer and I couldn't say noOh, so you going vintage.

Like the poster above said, get a metronome and learn to play with it, it'll take your playing to whole new levels.
You prolly just need to slow down and clean up your chords...?

Well since I've a proper guitar now (my other instruments were cheap, 99 dollar JC penny quality copies that had horrible intonation, weren't setup with so many issues) with nice action and some solid pickups and this proper practice amp, I'm more motivated to finally learning chords and scales as well as tabbing out my own dinky riffs I've been freestyling with.
I'm learning and I can say I've gotten better, but now that I can actually feel what I'm playing and access the full fretboard without having to hold onto a chunky block of wood with strings on it....I should be well on my way within a year or so of steady practice along with some metronome drills and what's not.
Hope you cop something nice, man. Most people I know who sell Guitars that they love normally run into money problems, but I couldn't even think on selling my Epiphone Iommi Sg even if I could get a profit for it.
Will cop asap, thanks
Hold up I thought a telecaster was great for r&b and funk too?I had that strat for about a month. I paid 3K for it, original hang tags and case, my boy came through and he had been looking for an 80s white strat, he's all funk and R&B, homie made me a dumb offer and I couldn't say no
