Is it better to learn acoustic before electric guitar?

I like rock music and want to learn the electric guitar, I found a teacher offline recently and he said he would be teaching me acoustic techniques first because it would be "useful", I looked around on his social media and it seems like his work and music taste is focused on acoustic guitars. Are his words biased? Should I continue learning with him and learn the acoustic ways first? I am worried because we do not vibe well anyways.

How to switch fretting strings quickly?

I haven’t been playing long. When practicing, I find myself always very slow to switch chords. The main culprits is usually when I have to change my wrist position (E.g. switching from c major to g major and reverse) and switching strings with one or more fingers at once (E.g. fretting on D to fretting g with any finger). The problem persists usually still persists even if I know the next chord off by heart.

Another problem: I want to play classical guitar/ finger style mainly. I have a lot of problems when holding a barre/ half barre with my forefinger but my other 3 fingers have to move a lot.

I understand some of these are probably just “practice more” but I’m curious to know if there are exercises that can help.

Any help would be very appreciated!

how do i improve right hand accuracy?

so I've been playing some classical music, and I find I'm struggling to be accurate with my right hand alot of the time, to the point where I look at my right hand more than my left hand, which causes my left hand to suffer instead.

since my left hand is moving around more i figured that I should be paying more attention to my left hand, but I'm not sure if I'm thinking about it correctly.

right now, the only exercise i have for improving my right hand is to just close my eyes and pluck the string I'm thinking about. i use my i m a fingers on the G B e strings and my thumb on the E A D strings. i think my accuracy mostly suffers with my thumb, where I might accidentally pluck A instead of D, or vice versa

Next steps

I’ve been playing guitar for about 10 years or so. At the moment I rely almost independently on my ear and basic memorisation of the minor pentatonic scale, major and minor scales to improv.

Im not exactly sure the next steps for my progress but I listen to prog metal and I want to be able to more expressively solo. I think that has something to do with more theory and playing lead with scales from the chords vs the key of the whole song ( easier to just shred the minor pent of the key of the whole song )

Any help?
