Question for CP musicians:

[Frankie]

I have this beautiful looking white Electric Guitar that I bought for my son when he wanted to learn it as a teenager. He of course dropped that desire after about a year. I have not had the heart to sell the guitar because it's right now serving as a part of the decoration in my living room (did i tell you I think it's beautiful?). But I want it to be a little more than that. i have a lifelong desire to at least learn some guitar playing. I can't read notes, but I'm quite the opposite of tone-deaf. My learning will be slow and just for my own hobby as I slowly age toward retirement. Now here is the question:

The type of guitar playing I want to learn is way more suitable to Acoustic Guitars. But i really want to keep the Electric one. Can I learn and play acoustic stuff on an Electric Guitar? remember, the extent of my dream is to learn enough to impress my friends who are easily impressed with things like that. I have no desire to play with any band or anything.

Not to mention, if you get really serious about it, down the road you can buy an "acoustic simulator pedal" to run through your amp, will make it sound just like an acoustic.
