Hello---I'm new to GuitarTricks and just starting the Fundamentals I module. My primary interest is the electric guitar, but virtually all of Lisa McCormick's tutorials are done on an acoustic. Is it ok if I work thru the Fundamentals I and II modules with an electric guitar versus an acoustic?
Fundamentals I and II—Lisa McCormack

If you're intent on just playing an electric, I don't think there's anything wrong with sticking to it.
It'll certainly make things easier in terms of developing hand strength and hardening your finger tips. When I picked up guitar the first time around, back in my teens, I used an accoustic initially but switched to electric very quickly because I wanted to play in bands. Having come back to guitar *cough* years on, I've picked up my accoustic and now getting stuck into the first principals vids.
Unfortunately this has meant re-developing hand strength and, worst of all, hardening up my finger tips. So I would go with what suits your needs.

Everything that Lisa teaches in GF 1 is equally applicable for electric or acoustic, so if you like electric you don't need to switch. Lisa uses the electric guitar more in GF 2.
Welcome, and good luck![br][br]

It takes as long as it takes unless you quit - then it takes forever and you will never get there.

Welcome, I am in guitar fundamentals 2, currently moving into the Blues Core Learning lessons and I have always used an Electric Guitar. I have never played an acustic guitar and I'm a Lefty. Enjoy!!!
