There is not much difference.
The electric guitar is much easier to play. It will hurt your fingertips less than an acoustic guitar (especially a steel-string acoustic). It is also much easier to bend the notes on an electric guitar, so you will be able to make it "cry and sing" when you become a skilled player.
However, some skills, such as fingerpicking, are easier to learn on an acoustic guitar.
My advice is to learn and practice on an acoustic guitar, and only play the electric guitar for fun.
well electric and acoustic are the same deal for the most part, but different sound, different strings, different tones alot. But it doesnt matter what you start with first, once you can play a chord on electric you can play the same on acoustic. But when you go to lessons, see if he will teach you more than just playin from the book. i taught myself playing, and enjoyed it better, the teacher just taught from the book, i can do that myself. and hell yea dude guitar is sick
You learn one, you learn the other…
If you learn acoustic first, electric will seem easy as if you’re taking a donut off your baseball bat…
But the chords and "action" is all the same for both…
Electric is funner to learn on, though, because of that wonderfully magic invention called the "Amplifier…"
Mankind’s best invention since the wheel, sliced bread, and birth control…
Lots of people will tell you to start acoustic, and then make the easy transition to electric…
But 100′s of people pick up a guitar and give up quickly because its a lot of work with very little reward at first. Unless you are trying to make a living playing guitar, you don’t need to do everything by the book. – in fact, many people who make a living playing guitar have made their own rules.
- my advice to you is to start with whatever is going to be most exciting for you. If you want an electric, get one!
Buy what you want, for what you want.
- !Buy a guitar stand or hanger! The best investment you can make if you are serious about learning. If the guitar is out and easily accessible, you will play it more often, and even take more pride in it. If its in a case tucked in a closet or under a bed, forget about it.
- spend a week or two learning about guitar before you even get a guitar! I know that sounds silly, but trust me. Spend time learning a little theory, how to read music, even if slowly, how notes are arranged on a guitar, how to learn tabs, and be ready to play many 1 or 2 of your favorite songs as soon as you get your guitar. Compare this to taking it out of its box and just banging away aimlessly.
- learn complete songs, not just your favorite parts of dozens. everyone will experiment and learn how catchy melodies are played, but playing entire songs is what is rewarding and will keep you playing.
- start playing to tempo as soon as playing a song becomes easy. metronome or synth. playing to the mp3 or cd is not the same… once you do this, you will feel like you are flying.
Acoustic guitar is harder to learn, but once you get that down, it’s a lot easier to go from there to electric than the other way around. But the decision is up to you. I guess it also depends on what kind of music you want to play. If you need help knowing how to pick out the right guitar, i wrote a short article that I think would help you.
