Hi Robbie, thanks for the info and congratulations on your playing.
I'm having trouble muting the unwanted strings in the interlude section (the octave part with the open E). Any suggestion how I should position my fingers so as to play only the right notes?

It is very important to keep in mind how much money you can spend on the instrument. Quality is definitely also worth considering. Cost is no guarantee that the instrument you are considering is indeed a decent guitar. You’re your budget extra in mind when you choose between electric and acoustic. Electric guitars seem to take a bigger bite out of your budget because of the other things you will be required to buy: chords and amplifiers. Also, do not forget that a cheap instrument loses value faster and reselling it will not work as well as with a more expensive one.

Elliott didn’t play the tune in a variant of Drop C. He played it in standard tuning down a whole step. The reason it sounds different on the recording is because one of the overdubbed guitars is in Nashville tuning, which is achieved by using only the high octave strings from a 12 string set on a 6 string guitar. If you play it as Robbie has or transcribed by Fat Brian Wilson’s powertab or as Elliott plays it in the Amoeba video it totally makes sense. The Nashville tuned guitar is what gives it that chiming sound.
