Should I get an acoustic or electric guitar? Which type of guitar should you get if you’re about to begin playing guitar? Or maybe you want to know the differences in an acoustic and electric guitar, this is the video for you.
Acoustic guitars require no electricity, no amplifier, and they’re very versatile for that reason. For beginners, acoustic guitar can feel a bit more tense on your fingers due to the higher string tension. Acoustic guitars will also never lie. If you make a mistake in your playing, you’ll be able to hear it. Electric guitars can sometimes mask mistakes when there’s added distortion or other effects.
Electric guitars are a bit slimmer in their neck profiles and their string tension is not as tight, making them a bit easier to fret. But of course, electric guitars require an amplifier, a cable and power outlet. Sure, you can practice on an unplugged electric, but it won’t sound all that great.
Acoustic and electric guitars offer a number of advantages and disadvantages and it all depends on what you want to do first as a guitar player.

great genuine advice
Mistakes are way more noticeable on electric guitar . Try not making any noise or open strings with distortion.
I don't know what I should get first? I played acoustic for more than two years but it was like, i play seven days then i don't touch guitar like 3/4 weeks.. I just loses motivation. But my mind demanding an electric guitar because of those cool sounds i can play. And now moved into Japan and I can't learn from anyone as I won't understand their language. Also learning from internet pretty demotivational for me.. Now guys, need some advice should i go for acoustic or electric?
Everybody give it up to the Camp fire guitar guy ????????????
that baseball metaphor is so lame
i think the best metaphor is electric guitar is like driving automatic car while acoustic is like driving manual lmfao
nobody give a shit about manual car anymore thesedays when automatic works just fine for everyone unless if you are a professional or some sort in a specific industry
always start easy then improve the skills over time, not the other way round wtf
Thanks bro you have motivated so much… I have always thought that it would be messy playing an electric guitar with all the effects and music, and hard to play but when you told me it's way too easy to play then I was relieved , thanks a ton, lots of love from India????????❤
Good video man! No sugar coat and a honest opinion is respectable. Thanks very much.
i dont care, i just wanna play like kurt cobain
Is that a jazzmaster
Johnny b goode at the end haha
I'm a beginner and have an acoustic but it seems like because electric is easier to play and lest stressful on my fingers and wrist then I can practice for longer so I can learn the finger positions faster but then transfer over to acoustic to make the little tweeks. What do some of you more experienced players think?
Electric for me, if i want to go to the park and play i just bring my battery powered roland micro cube ????.
Lucky me that my dad is a guitar carpenter so I can get both
Omg that guitar with the heart shaped hole is so pretty
You can do so much more on an acoustic because acoustic music is more open to playing different styles such as playing in different tunings, playing harmonics, playing simultaneous polyrythms , playing percussive finger style.
great video!
thank you mister this helped me out so much!!
u just helped me so much
Hi Gary…
First of all, your videos are amazing and you were the only one who got straight into the point. You see, I have a question that only you might be able to answer…
I've been playing the ukulele for like 5 years now, and i really wanna be able to play an electric guitar. Do you think that i should start learning the electric guitar and skip the acoustic one, cuz you know the ukulele is kinda the same thing. And what you said about "honest sound" for the acoustic guitar, i do understand that it is because acoustic guitars stop making sounds when not pressed enough. What i think is that one might even develop the habit of playing the strings "correctly" by playing the ukulele…
So what do you say man? Should i buy the electric guitar or not? cuz the thing is that i can get only one guitar…
Both.
Get both
I could hardly afford accostic ..????????????
