I have always wanted to learn guitar, so my girlfriend is buying me one for Christmas. All I have to do is pick it out. Her and I are not sure which is the best to learn on, she thinks electric and I have heard acoustic. Any suggestions?
My preference in music is really rock. I love classic rock like the Stones and Aerosmith. Modern Rock I like 3 Doors Down and music like that. I have always loved acoustic tracks though.
Electric’s easier on the fingers, but what it comes down to is this.
What is your preference? Which type of guitar shows up in a majority of the music you listen to? Because, when it comes to the basics, electric and acoustic are essentially the same thing. It’s not until you’ve become more familiar with the instrument that the subtleties of each really show.
