Hi @the-old-coach , I have a number of electrics in my guitarsenal and here is my take on your question: playing an electric has a definite different feel than playing an acoustic. Not better or worse, just different. Given the setup of the guitar you may find the notes easier to fret on an electric. The electronics (pickups, pickup switches, amp and effects (on the amp or with pedals (if you have them) may lead to “rabbit hole syndrome” as there are infinite sounds you can architect. All that said, playing an electric should not negatively impact your acoustic playing or learning. Electrics have 6 stings tuned to the same notes and intervals. The knowledge and skills you have gained on your acoustic will transfer to the electric. Just accept and realize the two types of guitars “play” very differently. And watch out for that “rabbit hole” – it can lead to a lot of “dabbling” for me 🙃.
