I their a different technique to playing the electric guitar to the acoustic?
im getting
a book by russ shipten on how to play the acoustic guitar
i have only electric and am wanting to start a band later.
is it ok?
apart from all the other answer's they are perfrectly correct! the difference in neck and strings and all that stuff, but they are missing one very important thing.
a major concept in playing guitar which is begun in the fundamentals of guitar is pulling and hammering techniques.
they may not be very important right now, but they will be very soon, and the type of guitar you play can influence greatly on how well you can accomplish the moves.
if you are going to join a band, you are definetly going to need to know some solo's and even the most simplest ones can have pulls and hammers.
in conclusion, for now it is perfectly fine, but you do not want to go too far ahead into playing guitar without learning these things, otherwise it will be harder to adopt to them.
it is much easier to do pulls and hammers on electric, because the neck is different, and much more built for it.
after about a couple weeks, you might want to go to some website to learn it.
it is a hard procedure, so dont get worried if you cant get it by the first 2 months.
remember it is not about getting it, it is about touching the requirements for it so you dont get too far behind
good luck with playing guitar and remember to enjoy your playing

Apart from the sound, the thickness of the neck, the string action, the number of frets, the shape, the weight, the playability, the strings and the acoustics produced, they are identical………

Well there is a huge difference in technique, but since you are a beginner it shouldn't matter so much. My philosophy about electric and acoustic guitars is that you can play acoustic songs on the electric guitar but it is harder to play electric guitar songs on the acoustic.
So… It should be all right for you if it is a more beginners book. You aren't going to get the full acoustic sound that'll sound nice with the songs, but at least you'll still be able to play it. The only thing you'll really find different in the 2 types is that the acoustic has a thicker neck and bigger body. Sometimes it is also a little harder to push down all of the strings but that is it and you should be fine.
Good Luck!

hmm u should be fine for now, since its only a beginners book.
notes and stuff wise theyre identical. but physical features and stuff, like another person said, are gonna be different. like the size, string action etc.
you will be able to play acoustic songs and stuff on ur electric guitar but it might not sound as genuine as it would on an actual acoustic. but it will do.
GOOD LUCK!
