guitar?????????

Question

is acoustic hard to play?
im gonna start learning?

Answer 1

Yes, and it is the best way to learn to play guitar, because once you learn to master it, you will have no problems playing any type of guitar. If you start with a electric you will find acoustic harder to play than the electric. However, play easy songs that help you learn to master simple cords then work you way up. Good luck learning and don't give up it is hard at first, but you will master it.

Answer 2

Acoustics can be as easy to play as electric its just that everyone gets sucked in by the $150 to $200 guitars thinking they're getting a bargain.You get lousy string action at that price. Go sample a number of guitars and look for one that you don't have to lift weights in order to press the strings down. Look at a couple in the $500 range so that you know what they should feel like and then start going through the cheap ones until you find one that they put together correctly. Look at moderately priced Epiphones and Fenders. Stay away from Walmart and go to a Guitar Store like Sam Ash or Guitar Center. Washburn makes some inexpensive rigs , so does Yamaha as well as Ibanez.

Answer 3

I would recommend starting with an acoustic over an electric since it is simpler to buy; no amp, no pedals, no cables required. I may even suggest a classical guitar over a steel string acoustic since the nylon strings are easier on your fingers than steel strings. Just like taking on anything new, it will be a bit painful and discouraging at first. You will develop calluses in a matter of weeks and no longer feel the pain. In my 20 years of playing, it has been well worth the initial growing pains. It's a rewarding hobby.

Answer 4

Acoustic guitar requires more hand strength than electric guitar, but if you practice regularly that should be a problem. Hammer-ons and pull-offs are harder to pull off (very punny, eh?) on acoustic as well. But I wouldn't let that keep you from playing it.

On the other hand, acoustic is much more portable and I personally prefer the pure tone it produces.

You should go with the one that sounds best and suits your needs the most.

Answer 5

It's hard in the beginning but don't give up because you will get better.

Answer 6

if you're not serious about it will be. until you get callouses built up it's going to hurt. if you can learn on electric it's easier and more fun to play.
