Free Acoustic Online Guitar Lesson Inspired by Led Zeppelin

Regarding the Acoustic / Electric question. I have been playing for 40 years. I use the acoustic to learn anything new (yes I am still learning, Guitar is a life long commitment). I also use an Acoustic to practice tough stuff. Then I slam it out on the electric. Acoustic is my favorite.

5*'s and U ROCK!

Definitely acoustic. I think that starting out with the acoustic will give you a much broader angle of approach when learning guitar, plus it makes learning chords and the like much more enjoyable, since you're getting the sound you need.

great lesson...great teaching style!

thank you, i learned that in 3 minutes lol

definitely start w/an acoustic. no question. electric will seem like a breeze once you have first learned the fundamentals/chords on an acoustic. i have been a drummer for about 23 yrs. but have only been playing guitar for about 8 or 9 yrs. and i started w/an acoustic. the transition from acoustic to electric is much smoother. after you have achieved some accomplishment on the acoustic, pick up an electric...and you will be like, "wow!".

Buy a electric acoustic.

i agree with gamer15matt...i started out on a cheap classical, and then moved onto leccy

get an acoustic first. thats what i did, and lookin back i'm glad i made that choice. i'm into a lot of of rock n roll and love playin the electric, but by buying an acoustic you will harden your fingers up more so than you will on an electric, and this way you'll ensure that when you eventually buy your first electric the callouses on your fingers will have hardened up to the extent that your fingers are more than capable of playing for a long time

why does she keep moving her hand back to the to the first fret when playing the open E? not needed.

Lot's of Rock and Roll is played on acoustics.

In the early days of rock, hollow body electrics ruled.

What songs do you want to play? What styles do you like?

it would be easier to learn on the electric because the fretboard is smaller and this will help you to learn the bar chords more easily but having an Electric guitar would cost more because of an amp. i would say Electric but if you like how an acoustic guitar sounds go buy a Acoustic guitar.

well, when I first started playin, I bought an elecrtic guitar pack for 100$.It gave me an electric guitar and a practice amp.
Or you can buy an acoustic guitar for 20$ or more.
Still I was more into rock on roll and thats why i bought an electric
If you like to play very versatile styles of music buy an electric. If you want to play chords and stuff buy an acoustic. I tell you to go for a cheap electric first.

if ur just starting i would say an acoustic....to play the acoustic u have to be perfect, u cant just slap on some disortion on ur electric to cover up mistakes. u should learn acoustic first then will be able to go straight to electric no probs but the other way around wont work
