Very interesting Justin. I’m heading towards the end of your Justinguitar.com Beginners Course and will probably be starting on the intermediate level of your course in the spring. I have to say that I’m definitely interested in the blues but funnily enough it was not my favourite genre. Things are changing for me in that direction! Just a quick unrelated question. Do you think it’s better to practice on acoustic or electric? For me it’s acoustic generally but electric for power chords and rock stuff. By the way, I liked the Roo at the back! All the best, William

Tagging @Richard_close2u who can be more helpful than me on this.
You have already learned some cales in the beginner course.
E minor pentatonic in open position - E-shape, pattern 1.
C major pentatonic in open position - C-shape, pattern 3.
A minor pentatonic - E-shape pattern 1.
Plus you have hopefully spent time making music with them, melodies, lead lines, even improvisation.
The 5 minor scales are some way off ahead of you and Justin has sage advice on when / when not to learn scales. https://www.justinguitar.com/guitar-lessons/when-not-to-learn-scales-sc-104
That said - you can learn, practice and play scales on either type of guitar. The big decision comes when you want to begin to play with string bending - that is largely an electric technique.
