What Type Of Guitar To Play

The first thing you need to do is descide what type of guitar you want to play. For the sake of this article we will examine 2 types. Electric and Acoustic.

What is the difference between electric and acoustic? The basic answer is noise level. Electric guitars plug into an amplifer that then emits the sound you hear when rocking out. Acoustic guitars rely on their own reverberations to produce the rich sound they make. Acoustic guitar is the normal place beginers start, this is probably because they generally cost less, and because most people dont want to amplify their aweful first tries at guitar. However, electric guitar does have the advantage of not hurting your fingers as much, as the strings are smaller and easier to push in. There is classical guitar to prevent hurting fingers as well, but I wont go into classical in this article. So here are the pros and cons of electric guitars vrs acoustic guitars as a beginner
