Which is better for a beginner guitarist: Acoustic or Electric guitar?
🎸 Every guitarist starts somewhere, but where’s the best place to start? Some say acoustic builds your strength and ear, others swear electric keeps you motivated.
As somebody who went multiple times back and forth from both 'guitar worlds' I think acoustic is much better place to start. Electric adds too much variables like gain staging, is harder to setup properly, adds some gear dependence and is therefore harder to travel with and is arguably less convenient to play with other people in non-gig scenario. With that mentioned if electric motivates you more and is closer to your music taste - go for it.
