Mostly yes, alot of it your gonna have to skip though
Like using an amp, how to mess with the volume and tone controls, using a Whammy bar, things like that.
All the things relating to using your fingers and scales and such, can still be valuable
Sure. Some things won’t apply, and some things will be a small different, but you’ll still be able to learn the basics like chords, note names, scales, etc. I’d recommend using DVDs alongside written lessons:
Check out http://www.shigaru.com . It’s a new guitar community based website where people can share their musical knowledge by uploading there own music, video tutorials. They have all kinds of levels and languages on there too!
Best of all ….it’s free!!
Hope this helps!
And please tell all your friends about it. The more people we tell about the site the more users it will have and the more tutorials people will share with us!!
Yes, the basic techniques are the same. You use the same chords and scales etc. If the DVD lessons are geared specifically towards electric guitar then there might be some small tricks like using feedback and volume swells that will be irrelevant to acoustic guitar but over all, the same thoughts apply. There are tons of books and videos out there though so you should be able to get other lesson material for not a lot of money. If you are just starting out you should seek out a teacher if you can afford it.
