Get yourself an acoustic and you'll drop the guitar within a day. You to have intrinsic motivation but you do you.

Of course it does jfl. It requires you to process and remember information.

Honestly whatever helps you cope

 

[sub5outsider]

i was playing when i was a kid but i was lazy to practice

 

[silencio]

My cousin has a guitar and she's been taking lessons since like 2 years and she's still awful. She's low iq so you would probably do better tho.

Just like everyone here

[IAMNOTANINCEL]

if you dont have high iq and didnt start as a kid give up

 

[Gonthar]

It's a meme instrument now, I only see ethnics and jestermaxxed subhumans playing guitar now.

 

[try2beme]

Dont bother if u didnt start as a kid coming from someone who plays bass and guitars

Unless u want pretty basic songs youre fine

 

[try2beme]

Just learn accoustic if u really want

 

[NorwoodAscender]

Just learn accoustic if u really want

is it a good amount easier?

 

[try2beme]

is it a good amount easier?

On accoustic its easier to control the strings compared to electric (more slippery) thinner lighter strings and lighter overall than a bass and accoustic is more straightforward u needa to learn extra skills with the others

 

[ChadOrDeath]

I have been playing it for more than 7 years, but i was pretty inconsistent, even though i was 80% self taught, Im still extremely skilled, but thats mostly natural talent, I recommend yamaha guitars, cheap for the quality that they offer

 

[ShawarmaFilth]

It’s hard to learn but when u can pull it off it’s very satisfying

Also huge halo

Give a price range for an answer. Probably a 24 fret fixed bridge Jackson Rhoads(can be played in classical position), and some form of modeling amp. E.g. boss katana or grid spark

Yeah, he’s wrong. Acoustic will pick up on every intricacy in playing. He has to have perfect intonation or the mistakes will be heard, electric can just cover everything with enough gain. Even playing in time sounds more convincing

He should just get a guitar and play, carries him much further than looking for answers.

if you dont have high iq and didnt start as a kid give up

Depends on what your goals are. Just learn your open chords, a I IV V progression, and some Led Zeppelin riffs/licks. Bitches will think you’re the second coming of Christ

Started at 19. Just dedicate every waking hour theory. Though he fits the former criteria, being high iq.

It's not even that. Acoustics have higher action and more tension since that's how they are made (acoustic tone). Moreover, in what way do bass/electric need extra techniques JFL. Eletric is way easier to play because of thinner strings and lower action. As for the bass it literally only has 4 strings and is mostly used to play root notes. Also, when I got my first acoustic (the usual fender dreadnought) it took me 2 days to re-adjust since it was pain in the arse to play barre chords. No way inkies larp about playing the guitar on this forum JFL.

Every skill he could learn on one translates over, barring intonation on acoustic being different to adjust to. I don’t even touch it since it exposes my playing. No clue where he got that take from that one needs extra technique.
I’m guessing they’re comparing acoustic ballads, think Beatles or Ed Sheeran, to tech death and metal players thinking that type of technical ability can only be played on electric.

Only instrument exclusive technique I can think of is using feedback on electric guitar and getting it to sound good(Robert Fripp esque shit)

No way inkies larp about playing the guitar on this forum JFL.

Even I neglect practice, just pick up and fuck around till I’m bored. I doubt he’s going to get much help on this forum for rotters, of all places. TheGearPage or some shit would be better suited for him.

I learned accoustic first as a kid, then bass then electric. Nice try tho lmao let me guess you play one or none that you learned by yourself in your basement

I'd argue that acoustic/classic guitar requires more "technique" since flamenco and classical chords exist.

@SLA was my mentor. Oldcel with 20 years for experience. Sadly, he's gone.

Dependent on player I guess. Jazz fusion guys like Di Meola and McLaughlin came over and outperformed Paco de Lucia in flamenco

@SLA was a mogger. Saw him covering Petrucci
