So I just wanted to know if this is normal for anyone else playing on an electric after being familiar with only an acoustic. I assume it's me and not the guitar and it's something I have to grow into.

I usually spend time playing the acoustic and the electric every day for different types of practice...and I noticed when I play an open E chord on the electric it tends to sound a bit off and when I ease up it starts to sound sweeter. For example if I fret, let's say a B note on the A string...the tuner will show a wide variance in sharpness depending on the finger pressure I apply. I assume that is normal for an electric and more of a problem I've created from using too much pressure compared to an acoustic. Further up the neck with bar chords I notice less of a tendency to sound off unless I accidentally push or pull the strings. My chording mistakes seem more pronounced on an electric which I assumed would be the opposite.
