Welcome to the very first instalment of Sam Bell’s new column exclusively for the Acoustic Guitar: Acoustic 101
In the next few issues, I’m going to be taking a look at Rhythm Guitar from an Acoustic perspective. I’ve made my living as an Electric Guitarist, however, there have been times that I have been hired to play Acoustic. There’s a lot to learn from playing Acoustic Guitar as an Electric Guitarist. Just because it has 6 strings and looks similar doesn’t mean it’s the same instrument! Over the next handful of columns, I am going to be going through the basics of approaching Acoustic guitar, these lessons can be translated directly to the Electric Guitar as well. The Acoustic Guitar is, of course, an Acoustic Instrument, there are lots of subtle ways of playing the Acoustic Guitar that change the overall sound. Keeping these lessons in mind when playing electric, we can expand our tonal capabilities on our stringed instruments!
