Thank you Erv. I have the E and A shape barre chords down but need to use them in songs more. I have pentatonic boxes memorized and play excercises in a few keys everyday but I don't use them musically.Stank, I would not do the CAGED course next. It’s good to know but not essential. Better to develop your bar chords, focusing on the E shape and A shape chords all over the neck, and also learn the pentatonic scales. You can use these skills on either acoustic or electric. Good luck whatever you decide.
