[query] acoustic/classical guitars vs. electric guitars
-
Hello, i need to decide between electric guitar or normal(acoustic/classcal) guitars.
So what is your opinions?
1)
Which is better?
2) most importantly, which is easier to play? because i understand that it is very hard to press the strings of acoustic guitars using the fingers. Is it the same for electric guitars? -

Accoustic guitar - metal strings
Classical guitar - nylon strings
Usually beginners start with classical guitars (I think).
If you can't play a guitar yet, better get a classical guitar first, and not the electric guitar. -
try listening to this 2 band/single
Maximum the hormone (electric)

Its all a matter of preference, none is strictly 'better' than the other.
I prefer classical acoustic (nylon strings) for my own reasons.. i find it:
1) Feels more natural.. i like how it seems like the sound is at my finger tips, its more 'raw' in that sense.
2) Nylon strings produce a thicker, more mellow sound, which is wat i like.
3) Its much less hassle to set up.. in fact, no set up is required.. just grab and play. I hate spending time hooking stuff up, but no choice when im studio jamming. Very often my firends n I simply jam with acoustic guitars, including acoustic bass.. but our drummer feels left out

If u're a beginner,u shd pick up the acoustic to hone ur skills...

Acoustic. I like acoustic better because you can sing songs along with it, dun need drums, bass or keyboard. And also it sounds nicer. Even if you wanna jam with your friends, you can also bring your acoustic along, acoustic along with electric sometimes sounds good.
-
if you're going to play classical music, you're not going to use a folk/acoustic guitar.
know your musical tastes first. -
If u want to learn 'fingerstyle' like wat i'm playing, its best to use acoustic.. nylon or steel strings r both fine.

But Barrios is a close 2nd or 3rd in my list of favoured composers. -
