That's a great way to learn, making up stuff.
I never said I showed off well.....

True that! when I feel like I hit a dead end, I grab my chord book and pick a random chord and learn it, then incorporate it into messin' around.....

It could very well be, I kinda just looked at her one day and the name came to me and stuck but yes, I do think I had that song on my head at the time

Eventually BOTH

In my experience the Tele is a bit more forgiving than the Strat, but the Strat is more versatile and comfortable to play.

I own and enjoy playing both the Strat and the Tele, but the Strat is my first choice always.

Hang out in a guitar store and play both guitars side by side, see which one YOU like best and start with that one.

Hi young friend, get an american standard stratocaster. Study on that for a few years. Lesser instruments will give you hum and tuning problems, and the frets are too light. Once you know an american standard, you will be amazed at how you can gauge all other guitars, all those new breeds of heavy metal guitars, for example. I was willing to switch to a Les Paul or a PRS, but in the end upgraded to a custom shop fender. For me there was no turning back. Get a stable instrument to begin with and avoid the experience so much of us had with cheap replicas. Good luck out there!

I hate it too. Here lately, my mind has been too busy to get a stong stuck. I have found, that if I go listen to the song, it usualy will get unstuck.

Same with me!!
Also, if you can afford the American go for it! I hear that they're good instruments. I myself can't afford one but for me the American Strat comes later. I have a Mexican made guitar and I can still play it like nobody's business. Just remember, it's not the type or make or origin of the guitar you have, but how well you play it

If that ain't the truth, I don't know what is.
And, I am going to get an American, for sure, I'll just save up untill I can afford it.
