What are the essential skills for the acoustic guitar?
What kind of Chords do I need to know?
What scales?
I am more of a rhythm guitarist. so i really know how to strum with the chords well. So i need to work on more lead work. for example Guitar solos, riffs etc. Thats why i need to learn some scales. just name a few skills i should know to become a better guitarist thanks!
Good timing. Play with a metronome. I'm mentioning this first because if you can play anything, you should be able to play it in time. Having good time will set you apart from the pack - and make studio recording much much cheaper. Painful experience - heed my words!
Flawless rhythm chording. Barre chords, power chords, etc.
Major and minor pentatonic scales. Most soloing is based on one of these scales or a variation thereof.
Record a chord progression, then play it back and practice improvising scales over it. You can do the same thing to songs on the radio.
Learning where the major and minor triads are on the neck will help you construct your riffs and solos.
My three biggest suggestions are to always record yourself, play with other people, and get a teacher if you can afford it.
