Do you have any suggestions for me.

Thanks.

Hey Sachin,

I think you'd run into a lot of trouble trying to do everything that is taught on electric in the Blues courses if you only have an acoustic. There's a lot of electric bending and upper fret positions / lead stuff that could maybe be worked around somehow, but you're better off picking up a cheap electric guitar. It's much more oriented towards lead playing.

BUT we do have a 2-level Acoustic Guitar Course as well, with a ton of great stuff in it, focused on just acoustic.

-Carl.
