Anytime I play my classical guitar I just noodle around harmonic minor. Maybe play adelita (the only classical piece I learned in its entirety) or some of yngwies acoustic parts which are all pretty good sounding. I always end up just thinking about how it sucks not having more frets though.

[@austinhernandez2716]

I only play acoustic because that's all I got, the one my parents got me for Christmas in high school. I play fingerstyle, which is really difficult. You'll be spending months on just one song. Days or weeks on even one bar. Speaking of bars, bar chords are much more difficult on acoustic. It's just raw sound, so a lot of sound will barely come out. You have to push the strings down hard and hold it very firmly and precisely. That got me to thinking. If I can now play the acoustic guitar decently, with a bachelor degree in music in fact(though on a different instrument, but still helpful), then electric guitar might be a pretty easy switch for me.

Starting out on classical or acoustic is absolutely amazing because pushing down the strings on the frets anr barring is absolutely childs play because of the higher action of classical and acoustic guitars

@@Itsshaunbewarned i'm not saying you shouldn't play anything on it. I'm saying that if you just start as a beginner, there is no need to start with an acoustic first then "graduate" to electric. It required more strength to play on it, but that's the catch. As a beginner everything is hard, even on electric. And if you just started because you want to play music that uses electric guitar there is absolutely no need to start on acoustic. It will only demotivate you more, because it's hared to play and you're not even doing what you wanted in the first place. You get finger strength from it, but as for hand movements, i don't think so that much.

To be honest, electric guitar makes certain things possible, and brings out certain details that are not very possible or noticeable on an acoustic such as a pinch harmonic I would say the skills are entirely different for both instruments and if you give an acoustic player an electric, they’d probably struggle with a lot of the complex stuff on it i’m not exactly a guitar player I normally just play the baritone, ukulele, bass guitar, keyboard, and whatever else is gonna be useful for making whatever music I want
