Im a girl, so i already know i'll suck more at guitar then guys. But, i'd like to start getting into guitars because music is one of my passions. I have long slender fingers so will that be an advantage when playing guitar? Okay well my question is, i want to play the song "vermilion pt. 2" on guitar, and I think its acoustic. I looked up the tabs. It said acoustic i think. Well anyways i was looking up acoustic guitars on google, and i also looked up electric guitars. And acoustic guitars are ugly! So, whats the difference between acoustic and electric guitars? Electric looks easier, but i dont know much when it comes to guitar. Please let me know as much info as possible, from experience would be even better. Im a beginner (only played like a couple times and sucked). Thanks so much this is something i wanna get into. THANKS
Hey hon.
I'm a classical guitar player, and I've been playing for quite a while now. I'm a girl, like you, and music is my only source of oxygen. Anyway. It's SO much better if you start off with an acoustic guitar to learn the basics. I played the acoustic for like 7 years, then when I touched an electric one for the first time, I rocked like hell. The only difference between the acoustic and the electric one is the sound and the feel of the strings. Electric guitar strings are much thinner and sometimes cut your fingers, and the sound's much easier to control 'cause you've got the amp and all the other technological crap. You also use the pick while playing the electric guitar - which I find extremely difficult. I prefer using my fingers. It's like having 4 picks instead of one.
I seriously recommend that you start with an acoustic one first, just to learn the basics, then you can move on from there. Who cares if acoustic guitars are ugly? It's the talent and passion that counts, not the fact that your guitar's Easter yellow (mine is). Have you seen the Gibson acoustic guitars? They're gorgeous!
Anyway, hope I helped.
Rock on.
