new on the guitar...

Hello, I am new to the guitar but not to string intruments. I am quite advanced on the ukulele, so I get a bit bored with the fundamental course. I need some of the basics, for sure but accctually  I want to learn electrical guitar and lesson after lesson is just on the accoustic guitar. When does it start with electric guitar?

Cheers Rut

Welcome,

I am not sure what Fundamentals you are taking - there are a few different ones. If Christopher sees this thread he may send a link to his Fundamentals course which is mostly likely on a Strat.

However, Fundamentals is about foundations, regardless of the guitar being acoustic or electric. What you are probably looking for is the more advanced lessons like Blues as an example. I know there are studies on styles of playing here, and again if Christopher reads this (he has his own forum as well) he would be the best person to converse with on how to sus these out once he knows what you are looking for. 

Best of luck

Hey & welcome to GT.  You have a few options.

The Fundamentals courses by Anders are all taught on acoustic guitar.  It's all the same material as you would get for electric because it's all the same skills & ideas at that beginner level.  You don't start getting to electric guitar specific techniques until the style courses (blues, rock country).

If you prefer to do the fundamentals completely on electric you could work through my older Fundamentals courses.  Again, this material is all doable on acoustic & there is no skill or idea specific to using electric guitar.

There is a third Fundamentals course taught by Lisa which starts on acoustic (GF1) and then moves to electric (for part of GF2).

Finally, if you want to just skip ahead to electric guitar material you might consider jumping ahead to a style course.  What style of music are you primarily interested in?

Hope that helps!

Not exactly what you asked about, but I do have a tip:

Consider skimming with 2X speed.

I went through all three "Fundamentals 1" courses, because each instructor took a different track, and each had some really useful individual tips and tricks. The completely redundant basic intro lessons I just skipped, but more often than not, I would speed the lesson up to 2X and skim. If something new and interesting popped up, I could slow down and interact with the information. 

thanks a lot y'all😄
