I have started one of my students on route for doing one of the Rockschool Guitar grades - He is quite young and progress is fairly slow so I thought we would start with the "debut" grade. He is doing the electric guitar book, but he has an Acoustic (with pickup). Does he need to have an electric guitar to do the exam? Would he have to borrow one? Should I have started him on the Rockschool Acoustic book instead?

Another question: He likes to pluck with his thumb only, rather than a plectrum or his fingers. I've tried to get him to change, as I believe this technique is very limiting, but he is very adamant. Is it going to be a problem?

Any help would be appreciated, Thanks.
