- Can an electric guitar player learn anything from an acoustic guitar teacher or vice-versa?
Should guitar players learn from different sources? Or should an electric guitar player only learn about the electric guitar?

I play the hammered dulcimer and I get plenty out of this channel.
I Got started playing rock on a strat, studied classical and ultimately ended up loving the feel of Acoustic. I still can add distortion to the acoustic and get a decent imitation of an electric. There is something about the feel of the Acoustic when playing more rhythmic/percussive styles that i find lacking in the other guitsr types, I think it's probably the way the sound resonates through the body of the instrument that i dig. But I for sure agree that the more variety and diversity of influence is always beneficial.
so true, don't limit yourself listen to the master 😀
Tomasso,how about a video that explains the differences between learning/playing on the different types of guitars and how to overcome them?
That would be interesting. I play both acoustic and electric, and would definitely get something out of such a video.
Classical and Electric are two different paradigms. They really are two different instruments, with, - are you put it, 'similarities'. You have to remember when a serious Classical player is passing through their grade exams (which can take many years), they are expected to play the notation as written by the exam board. Artistic interpretation is a separate consideration, which develops with musical experience, in this framework.
A serious Classical student will seek out a serious (purist) Classical teacher with a performance pedigree / track record.
From a Classical to Crossover/ jazz view ..yes your point is valid.
As a guitar teacher of 34 years, I absolutely teach them different. But, 95% of the teaching is the exact same. I consider myself a guitar player. ie. electric or acoustic.
1:30 "Pick the guitar with [your] teeth ... The Windmill ... Or you stick your tongue out as far as you can and you wiggle it ... Then you can take the guitar and you can smash it to pieces ... " -- Al on Quantum Leap, giving guitar techniques to Sam Beckett.
6:15 I remember a concert by the late great santoor master Shivkumar Sharma. It started off with them tuning up their instruments, and they got applause for it.
My only thing I want to bring up is, I wish I had been started on Electric guitar first. Unfortnately, I started on my Grandmom's 1952 Gibson acoustic, and I learned a BAD HABIT of gripping the fret board to hard that when I switched to Electric, I would cause my hand to hurt and get tight because of the bad habit I learned from playing on an acoustic fret board. Otherwise yes, there is no real different between electric and acoustic, I'll be it maybe the action height is different, but still my point stands.
I had the same problem :-) But don't worry, with practice it gets better!
I have been struggling with the exact same issue. I am practicing a lot to develop a lighter touch but old habits die hard, really hard. There are no videos that i have found on this particular nuance of guitar playing either.
@@MusicTheoryForGuitar I've been trying to remember to not do this habit, but ultimately, I get so into what I am playing at the time, but it happens without me realizing it. Any tips you have to help fix this horribly painful habit?
I can do a video about it, no problem
@@MusicTheoryForGuitar That would be incredibly helpful thank you!
Depends on the teacher and the student, but in general, yes.
Just a bit of constructive criticism though; I miss when you used to mostly teach theory. Even though I knew a lot of what you were teaching, I learned a lot of new things when you got a bit deeper into it. Lately it seems like you spend almost as much time trying to convince people who aren't that serious, that they should learn theory.
I also noticed that some of my favorite commenters who occasionally I would learn something from also, and that made the community as a whole something quite special, at least in my view. But I don't see some of them around much iin the comments now, and a couple of my favorites not at all. Maybe it's similar for them.
And nothing against people who are not as serious about the theory aspect of music. As you correctly say, there all sorts of great players who don't know much about theory, and there's certainly plenty of room for all styles and levels of whatever people want to express, But they can get that on most channels, this one was more unique, imo.
Still, the most important thing is that you're happy doing what you do. I honor that and appreciate what I have learned and what you do for others who want to learn. I've just wanted to get that out, because I've held back from saying anything for months of I've not been learning much here anymore and others who I think benefited most from your extensive knowledge of theory, never needed convincing to take it seriously. .
Anyway, I hope that doesn't come off as mean at all, or selfish. If I didn't think it might be good for the channel as a whole, I wouldn't say anything. But perhaps finances have to dictate things more, maybe the other stuff draws more immediate attention, and I've no idea what that financial part of life is like for you.
Just hoping you don't forget about us.🥰😊
Actually, I would like to answer more in depth / advanced / technical questions - it's just that people are not asking those :-) But by all means, feel free to ask!
I am planning a series of videos to go back to the root of this channel - more technical and in detail. So don't worry, I didn't forget about you (and all the other people who have been here for a long time)
ButI still like to answer the questions people have! I would *LOVE* if you or some of the regulars asked advanced questions, or proposed some topics. (Either in the comments, or write me an email at tommaso@musictheoryforguitar.com if you don't want to write it here)
So I don't disagree with you :)
I mean, let me put it this way: some people in this very comment section asked me how to play with a lighter touch on their fretting hand. I know a couple of killer exercises there. What am I going to do, NOT answer them?
So, YES I want to answer more questions about music theory and YES I am planning more videos on advanced theory, but at the same time I WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU! (you specifically AND other people like you) :-)
@@MusicTheoryForGuitar A lighter touch on an electric bass is also a tricky thing.
I play electric, but mostly I practice on acoustics & I’ve heard of many guitarists who are much better than me say they do the same.
