Moving from acoustic to electric guitar...

Question

I have an electric guitar that I want to learn to play, but my local music store only gives lessons for acoustic guitars. A friend of mine is willing to let me borrow his acoustic for the lessons. I'm not sure how similar the two are, so would the acoustic lessons be worthwhile if I were to go home and practice on an electric? Thanks - any opinions/advice would really help!

Answer 1

Most acoustic, strings are farther apart.  The neck is wider.

I recomend you learn both, Spend the few dollars to get your own, and keep looking for someone to teach you electric.

Answer 2

it is the same except the sound

Answer 3

Well listen to Tenacious D, they play acoustic and still kick a**!

Answer 4

The strings are the same and everything. It's just that there's an amp and it's shape's different. I actually find the electric easier to play. Hope I helped! :)
