books for electric blues vs books for acoustic blues
I bought some books by Hamburger on blues guitar and when I got home noticed they wee for electric blues guitar.
Will they still be applicable to acoustic guitar? yes; or not at all; or very little ;or very applicable Last edited by arktrav; 10-12-2014 at 12:29 PM. Reason: restated |

I would say very little I'm afraid. The theory (Blues scale, progressions and chords) will be similar
As far as I know (and I'm no expert) electric blues is usually played with a pick and consist of strumming rhythm parts (in a shuffle style) and single note run lead licks. There is usually a separate bass player. With acoustic blues the emphasis is on getting a alternating (or monotonic) bass going with the thumb while picking out the lead with your fingers. |
