acoustic does help, but I am just curious, l need expert help.It just makes
perfect sense, playing electric will help you improve techniques for
electric, and acoustic will too.So wont they come out even?Is there ANYone
else who has experienced this or thinks the same as I?

overall knowledge of the instrument. There are, as you said, differences
in playing between electric & accoustic.
If you practise on an accoustic, then switch to electric ur skills will be
the same. The real difference will be in the special trechniques that are
unique to each type.
I play both electric & accoustic & find little difference in the skill
required to play either (though I'd like more of it!) but the sound that
comes from each is very different. For example it is entirely possible to
keep a note going for a long time on an electric guitar with effects.that
particular 'skill' is far harder with an accoustic.
The warmth of an accoustic sound is eminently suitable for small
audiences, where amplification is not required. Of course amplification
can, & often is, used when playing accoustic guitar, especially for
profesional recordings, so the difference in sound can be reduced
electronically if desired.
Both types have their place & will be appreciated by ur audiences. Skills
learned on one can be transferred to the other, though not EVERY technique
is suitable for transfer. For example the sliding of a 'bottle' on nylon
string guitars (classical accoustic) just doesn't work, as the 'bottle'
technique needs the electronic pick ups to reproduce it loud enough for an
audience to hear, though on steel strung accoustics a beautiful technique
can be heard (listen to the 'old-time' blues players.)
I am not totally sure I have understood ur question, but as a fellow
musician I hope I've helped.
Cheers,
