So, you want to start playing guitar but you’re not sure whether to get an acoustic or an electric.

Here’s the deal: don’t believe anything that anyone else tells you. There’s a couple of urban legends floating around. One is that you have to start on acoustic; the other is that electric guitar is too loud.

Now, only start on acoustic guitar if that’s the only thing you want to play. Why? Because it’s much harder to play. The strings are heavier and the action is higher. So if you want to start with acoustic, get a set of light strings and a good setup.

If you get a guitar that you love and that’s right for you then you should also consider a self-education course like team method guitar.

One of the main stumbling blocks for a lot of my students is that they get an acoustic guitar before they are ready. And they want to learn rock and roll. And they’re ten years old with little hands.

So don’t discount a cheap and easy electric guitar.
