Naturally new styles occur when transferring from the acoustic guitar to the electric - because of the different possibilities of the instruments. For example, you might discover the facility of the electric guitar, as it allows you to bend strings more easily, and play much faster. Tone is another thing that affects one's style. You aren't going to play classical fingerpicking on a distorted electric guitar.

I reccomend buying some albums of different players (you can probably find some by searching "best guitarist" on the forum search), and listening to their styles. Just as an acoustic guitar could be for country, folk or classical. The electric could be for rock, blues or jazz!

Hope that helps.
