Most definitely so! Some techniques won't really be used as much on acoustic like say tapping or sweep picking but the lessons here are great for learning to play guitar!
Sweeping is all over acoustic.. syn and pg aree beasts at it. You can definitely utilize everything.
That's why I made sure to add the as much to it. There are definitely people who utilize the techniques but is it really all that common in general acoustic playing? I can't think of anything off of the top of my head but I'd love to hear some. Spanish Fly by Van Halen comes to mind when I think of acoustic tapping. Can't think of any sweep picking on hand but I have no doubt Syn and others have more than likely used it.
I'm 100% convinced those lessons are not tied to a Genre. I mean look at the beginner section. Chords, chords, chords. Ist there anything more suited for an acoustic? Especially in the intermediate / advanced section the might be Lessons that introduce techniques often used in certain Genres but at this Point you can really skip what you don't like / need
Sweeping and economy picking are very fundamental gypsy jazz techniques and gypsy jazz is generally played on acoustic guitars.
I didn't know that! Thanks for letting me know Ids! Could you recommend me any songs that feature the techniques? I've been meaning to get more into Jazz but don't really know where to start beyond a couple Django songs and a handful of Montgomery tunes.
I feel like the amount of time it would take to perfect acoustic tapping would lead to you having callouses that are tougher than steel! No more finger tip pain!
