yeah. Electric guitar is usually easier to play though because the strings are closer to the fret board. But yes basics are the same. You could teach yourself to play pretty easily if you just wanna play electric. Learn to play tabs. It’s soooo easy. good luck.

The basics are alike – one main difference is that the electric has a neck that is slimmer, making for easier playing

Yea the basics are virtually the same when you are first learning either type of guitar. Same chords, rhythm, and the same songs for the most part. It’s when you get more experience and start branching out into the type of style you want to play that you’ll learn more advanced stuff that is specific to an electric or acoustic. Like rock or folk for example. Also physically playing the electric is easier for beginners because the strings are thinner.

Yes, but it is much easier to learn on electric. Most cheap acoustics have terrible action and it is hard to get good sounding notes outside of playing chords. For scales and runs, the electric will give you much less headache.

yes they’re basically the same – although power chords are more suited to electric guitar even though you can play them on acoustic

Yes, you can, but I’d be suspicious of a guitar teacher who only teaches acoustic guitar. In fact I’ve never heard of a professional guitar teacher who was not proficient on and who did not teach both instruments. Find yourself another teacher. There are lots of them out there, good ones.

Good luck.

Yea you really start on acoustic. Its the base sound. And electric distortion can make you think your better than you really are.
