PMTVUKbrElectric Guitar is easier because the strings are lighter & you have easier action The body is thinner so that helps I modified my Acoustic Guitar to play like an Electric w/ really really light gauge strings by cranking the angle of the headstock down to 90 Degrees like a lute & this puts the strings at a really steep angle over the nut Comment from : Oscar Stern |

They even make versions with Nylon Strings Comment from : Oscar Stern |

They even make Electric Guitars with built in amps for easier playability and portability The lighter gauge strings on an Electric make things even easier Comment from : Oscar Stern |

I love my Tanglewood It's always within reach and I like being able to noodle at volume without having to plug in one of my electrics Plus it's cheaper to run ;) Comment from : Phil Hitchings |

I started playing on an electric guitar, rock and blues Never thought about an acoustic until 2 years ago WOW! I love mine Blues sounds amazing on them, and nothing beats playing Bon Jovi, Wanted dead or alive, on one They definately improve your playing technique and make you clean up those sloppy electric fingers Comment from : David Burns |

I learned on an acoustic and am no longer interested in it, and that's why I burn through frets like crazy Js Comment from : Craig Flowers Music |

I think that myself and my friends who play (which is most) all learned on an acoustic first It was also more cost friendly for our folks I love playing my acoustic, though, if it hasn't been awhile (ie: playing my electric more) it can be a bit painful, lolbrALSO: Once again (and again) lovely playing Meg Comment from : O-Towne Music Junky |

When I decided to learn guitar almost 40 years ago, there were neither budget-friendly electric guitars nor solid state amps in the market So electric was simply out of the question My mom gifted me a decent Korean-made dreadnought acoustic and that’s where I learned chords, strumming, rhythm playing, and folk-genre finger style You’re spot on in that playing acoustic builds the fundamentals that make it easier to transition to electric Comment from : Mark Flores |

my first acoustic was a seagull my first electric was an epiphone les paul studio scale length and body size/weight are key considerations string gauge can be changed (i put 10s on my acoustics) my nu-x mighty plug headphone amp makes the electric more portable (plus i think there's a spark mini on the horizon) my recommendation to a beginner is find something that is comfortable for you and that you can have fun with straight away if you start grinding too hard you might quit which would be a shame because it is a lot of fun when you get to the other side and don't rule out an acoustic guitar just because it has a laminate top Comment from : Bruce Hart |

I started with an acoustic I wish I had set a bit of mo ey aside to have my acoustic set up properly, but the heavy strings and high action did force me to build finger strength I got ruined forever one day when a friend handed me a Les Paul, now I play electric 90 of the time Its an expensive life mistake for sure!

Nope, learn on electric You should get an acoustic eventually though Lighter strings will let you practice longer and more effectively An acoustic can be heard all through the house, an electric playing acoustically can hardly be heard over a ceiling fan Think about that when your kid is learning his first chords Headphone amps are affordable and fit in your pocket You can buy a better playing electric for the same money as acoustic In you live in the north or a desert, you need to keep your acoustic in a case with a humidifier, therefore less likely to pick it up to practice Solid body guitars are more resistant to damage Some of your points may apply to a gigging musician but not an absolute newb with his first guitar I live in the Great White North and rarely take my acoustic out of the case in the winter Comment from : Roy Warriner |

I agree and disagree with you at the same time 😂 Comment from : Armin |

One negative thing about acoustic i rarely pickup my electric guitar :{ Comment from : Mike I |
 |
I remember starting out on a very old beaten acoustic Strings were bout half inch from fretboard It was just horrible, but wouldn't change anything Starting on an acoustic is a must in my opinion Needless to say after years of playing I treated myself to a fender acoustasonic strat Slightly easier to play Great video Keep up the great content Comment from : Waymaker |

Probably worth mentioning a pair of headphones and something like the fender mustang micro (or a mini amp if you don't like headphones) can make an electric guitar just as portable as an acoustic I started off on a bargain bin electric with a mini amp that could be charged up for wireless use, fun times Comment from : lmavisl |
 |
Totally agree, accoustic first Worth adding that it is perhaps beneficial aiming for the £300 mark for a guitar in the early stages They are so much easier to play & just sound better I would also recommend getting g a cut away style I do get the argument though I am not comfortable on Strats or Teles Transitioning to electric guitars was easier for me with Casino, 335, Less Paul Just a bit more familiarity in the neck, body & headstock As a word of caution though, I have become a bit Les Paul obsessed Comment from : Paul Copsey |

I’m really happy I learned on acoustic, but I also wish to get into electric The tone is what throws me off when I plug into an amp I feel like electric isn’t really made for strumming unless it’s at a specific setting, can anyone help a brother out? Comment from : Swanson Joe |

You can of course put lighter gauge strings on an acoustic like 10 or 11 gauge so you can play more comfortably and they are easier to bend than the 12 gauge strings! Comment from : Rajesh Gumber |
