3 String Versus 4 String

So, recently I bought a 3 string fretted CBG kit ready to build. I was hoping to build it over the last weekend. It didn't happen because I realised it's going to take me a bit longer than I expected.
I'm dead keen to get started on Patrick's course having signed up last week. A friend of mine has offered to loan me a 4 string guitar until I get round to building my 3 string. Is it a good idea to follow the course on a 4 string?

Just a wee recent history about where I've come from to get to here

Last Autumn I did a 3 week music-themed road trip in the USA. I started in Nashville, Tennessee, went west to Memphis and then south through Mississippi, Arkansas and ended up in New Orleans in Louisiana. It was a great trip and I took in as much live music gigs and festivals as I could. I love American roots music in all its forms. I picked up a diddley-bow kit in Arkansas and a harmonica in Clarksdale and I played some 12 bar blues in private around the back of a grain barn at the Hopsons Plantation near the famous US61/49 crossroads.
