1st off, your friend knows nuts!
electric is a lot easier to play than acoustic because of the lower action. however, acoustic helps you play more cleanly. so pick your target, easy and sloppy or hard and precise. there's to many thread regarding newbies electric guitars, just browse through. |

QUOTE(Fuuko Master @ Apr 6 2009, 11:43 PM) No point learning on acoustic first if you prefer songs that use the electric. Go for electric guitar. No question about it. yes, i bet your friends that started out with acoustic can play cleaner than you(if they can't, then it's their fault). If you're thinking you have to learn on acoustic before you can deserve an electric, think again. My friends are all to familiar with the acoustic, they suck on the electric. All that time spent playing on the acoustic could've been used to familiarize yourself with the electric, if you prefer playing power chords and nail crazy solos.  playing slow & clean>>>>>playing fast but sloppily. your argument is like saying, "we should start learning to drive with auto-transmission, it's much easier than manual". yes, it's been proven pointless many times over. |

QUOTE(Fuuko Master @ Apr 7 2009, 12:46 AM) Um, no they can't. You were saying? as i said it's their fault.And no, that's not what my argument is saying. That's what you assume it is saying, but it is not. Who in their right mind would think that anyway? Did I even mention the word "easier"? And I don't get why suddenly it's compared with car transmission, but if you insist, it should be "if we're going to drive auto anyways and won't be using manual, we should start learning to drive with auto". Your analogy is way off.  To thread starter: Read this article if you want an expert opinion. The choice is yours. but, then you can't get a licensed without knowing how to drive manually, can you? i believe my analogy is somewhat valid(it's an analogy, it doesn't have to be dead accurate). QUOTE(m3er @ Apr 7 2009, 01:50 AM) ive never heard anything about 'starting on acoustic guitar' would make u play cleaner. i never said "'starting on acoustic guitar' would make u play cleaner".which music school did u pick that line up? i said "starting from acoustic makes you "learn" how to play cleaner". i've seen to many guitarist playing power chord that cannot even play a full chord properly. even papa hetfield admit that he was having trouble to play an acoustic cleanly when recording fade to black. |
