Learning guitar: acoustic VS electric?
I think the general concensus is that when you learn to play the guitar, you learn on an acoustic, then move on to electric if you want to at a later date. BUT, I live in Japan, where my apartment’s walls are paper-thin and my neighbours have complained about me so much as ‘talking loudly’ on the phone in the evenings, so I’m considering buying a cheap electric guitar and mini amp that I can plug headphones into.
I’m concerned, though, that starting on an electric is a bad idea- will it hinder my progress? Is starting on an electric not advised? What are the drawbacks?
Any and all comments will be appreciated, so please help me out. Thanks. Also, any general ‘getting into guitar’ tips would be great!
Actually, acoustic guitars typically have heavier gauge strings on them than electrics. So in reality, an electric may be easier to play when you’re starting. That’s my experience anyway. Many people start with a nylon string acoustic or classical guitar. The nylon strings have very little tension and are very comfortable to play on for beginners. So you might consider a classical guitar. However, the neck will be wider on a classical guitar, which may be challenging.
As far as practicing… assuming you get an electric… there are a bunch of small amp simulators that you can buy that will allow you to play through headphones. I’ve practiced late at night through a KORG AmpWorks modeling signal processor for years (with over the ear headphone) and never had a complaint about noise, even from people sleeping in the next room.
So I’d recommend getting an electric (like an Ibanez) and an amp modeler (KORG, Line6 POD, etc). With the amp modeler, you’ll also get a bunch of different amp tones and effects to try out. That will keep you interested in practicing when you’re playing scales over and over and over…
Good luck!
