I take guitar class on my music class in HS ,we use acoustic guitars and I bought my first guitar It was fun at first but I'm not really into it Last year, I bought my first ukelele and I really love it Idk why but electric guitars keep appearing in my YT(is this a sign?)

If you meant that if you have a pickup on your acoustic you can plug it in and get all the sounds and effects as on electric, it is wrong Acoustic guitar does not have a magnetic pickup, strings are not the same as on electric as well The pickup on acoustic should amplify and truly reproduce the true acoustic sound, that is the main function of an acoustic pickup On the other hand you can't get typical acoustic guitar sound on electric Baseline - those are similar, but different instruments

Acoustic guitars are amazing I would love to play some blues rock on a gibson les paul through an amazing tube amp
Comment from : MadMusician Magician

I started off on the acoustic and didn't even want to practice, I was busy quickly on the electric, it's more interesting but lately, I love the acoustic ukulele better than both so your theory is a little imperfect and 6 strings vs 4 strings are different instruments

I know i'm exactly a year late :) but thank you for this videobrI am a beginner (a start-over) many years back I wanted to play guitar I got the advice that it's "best" to start on acoustic I thought okay fine I bought a fender acoustic for equal to about $200 + accessories I eventually ended up selling it to a friend for about half I learned a few chords but had trouble with pushing the strings down to make the appropriate sound It was demoralizing i guess the string action was highbrbrJust yesterday, ordered an electric guitar + accessories It's more money but I am convinced the electric guitar is better for me personally for various reasons, two of those being that I'm into rock, hard rock and metal so electric guitar makes more sense & also the string action is lower so should be easier to play as a beginner

Is it just me or he looks like Sam Rockwell 😂
Comment from : Jayesh Rathod

I love both, equal yet unique in their own right

kinda ironic fender play commercials interrupt your video to sell their lessons brthey are trying to steal your potential customers for your tutorial servicesbrbrThanks for all your videos, you and Marty are amazing

@UCWAuPC_qQWYFvCoM5kkL7Jg It's true that Electric Guitars (of every type from Extended range, to Multi-Neck etc) are easier to learn on due to the thinner strings, lower action as well as the flatter body & labeled control knobs However there are Nylon String Acoustic Guitars (aka Classical Guitars) which are also great for beginners cause the strings are big & round so you don't get that indent that you'd get from Steel Strings, & because they're Nylon they're under lower tension which is easier on that fretting hand

I'm acoustic through and through dreadnoughts only too, you dont play bluegrass on an electric after all
Comment from : al al

Electric is easy cause the action is lower (this applies to 12 String Guitars too), you might not have heard this some electric guitars have a built in amp making them more portable & easier to play than Acoustic Guitars
Comment from : Oscar Stern

Can I start learning on both at the same time?
Comment from : Bashar Mina

However you can make your Acoustic feel like an Electric by using the lightest gauge of Acoustic Guitar Strings
Comment from : Oscar Stern

I found this: wwwvoxshowroomcom/us/guitar/apache1html & it's an Electric Guitar that has a built in amp
Comment from : Oscar Stern

The Electric Guitar would have to have a built in amp & built in effects in order for it to be more portable such as the Vox Apache
Comment from : Oscar Stern

YourGuitarSage Electric Guitars are going to be easiest to start on cause they're super big in versatility, & also it's alot flatter (lighter gauge strings, & smaller dimensions) The lower action on the Electric & also lighter gauge strings is so much easier on the left hand
Comment from : Oscar Stern

I learnt playing by electric ❤
Comment from : Labin Jr

Hi! I am looking for Ibanez SA160 to buy Any suggestion about guitar or amph to me?:)
Comment from : Gizem Çavuş

Really?? I love your vids but sometimes you assume we all have money
Comment from : MeanHomer B

Even if I was starting out I certainly couldn't afford that $200000 + guitar!!
Comment from : MeanHomer B

what pedals did you use here? In the event I ever get my fingers moving where they should and is there a difference in pedals between acoustic and electric? I want to play Tommy James Crimson and Clover but still struggling with the fingers, get frustrated, put it to the side Need some super glue in my pants
Comment from : Timothy Tapio

I dint know that James hetfield had a utube channel where he gives guitar tutorial
Comment from : Shrajesh Thapa

You can do almost every acoustic's things with electric and plus a lot lot more And in right hands electric can be more dynamic And played quiet well unplugged (without hollow body) And I think pedals are very unnecessary even though very handy to some peoplebrElectric guitar was pretty unrequitedly presented Used gear and points

I found Acoustic is best for me the connection I had with my Tanglewood was magical and I have continued to add to the family 6 yrs of playing have now accumulated in three acoustic guitars and a beautiful relationship with each of them😀 each have a personality and although I have friends who love the electric they agree that it’s more of a tool than an instrument you have a connection with and that’s the important thing for me the connection to the instrument By the way Erich brilliant video series 😀 and no antagonistic commentators
Comment from : lifeofeunoia

I think starting off from an steel string acoustic makes your fingers strong 🤘🤘
Comment from : TheFAKE NGX

Portable? I can unbolt the neck of a strat and pop it in a suitcase and hop on a plane
Comment from : Richard Dean

I'm a "mature" adult and wanted to learn to play something I began playing on nylon string ukulele and thought about getting a nylon string guitar So glad I started with steel string acoustic Now I have a half dozen ukes, including a baritone, a couple of acoustic guitars (love my Martin) and just got a Fender Jaguar Love playing them all!
Comment from : Michelle -PSL

I think you you should get what inspires you to practice more If you love the guitar, your going to be inspired to make it sing brI started with a strat copy and I love that guitar It's a personal thingbrAnd it can sing (Sometimes it coughs and wheezes depending on my skills on a given day)
Comment from : BiGiMsKi WeisEnHeiMeR

get both
Comment from : Christopher Strasser (nihilgeist)

I bought an acoustic from the beginning It can be played softly or loudly, and easily adapt to styles of music brbrI'll never go electric, because I'm already an old codger I don't want to hassle with all the paraphernalia The only advantage to electric is the effects that you can ADD to the guitar Those effects are NOT the guitar!brbrI love the new format where you focus on the instruction, and are not sidetracked by questions Questioners can get there answers on THEIR time, not waste the rest of our time!
Comment from : Curtis Miller

for me the electric guitar is in your face and less forgiving if you hit a wrong note on an amp electric guitar its gonna snitch you out hey every one i don't know what i'm doing!!!😁 but the electric guitar gives u more balls kinda like driving a muscle car with all its power🥳
Comment from : Kenneth Ochoa

I usually skip the count down but for some reason today I decided to listen and I really enjoyed the count down music playing 💖 thanks Erich!!!! 🎸🎸🎸🎸
Comment from : Stephie Kitty19

I picked up both and will upgrade my acoustic when I get better
Comment from : espada9

Nylon strings are great for learning fingerpicking, the thick strings are great for learning proper pull off tension and the properties of pulled strings on fingertips and finger picking
Comment from : PcB

What's with the introjust a time killer💀
Comment from : Chuck Cirelli

Well, you just go for the music and sound you like
Comment from : RodoGames

get what you intend to play
Comment from : Steve Dixon

Well, I won't say you HAVE to, but if you learn acoustic first, the transition to electric is easy A number of good ones out there, but I find myself in love with the Yamaha FG800, perfect for beginner or experienced player, and a bargain at about $20000 I, too, started on a nylon-string guitar, and found it the perfect way to begin
