I need help

[Klington]

Why and cite your reasons. And yes, I know it's up to me, but if you purchased one which one you choose and why?

[Takaram]

I personally would go with electric because most of the music I listen to is done with electric.

[Sir Lans]

This really depends on whether you're a beginner or not...and beginners need to start out on acoustic guitars...

[Silvermain]

Definitely go with acoustic if your a beginner. Even if you're not, still go with acoustic! ;D

I personally prefer the sound of an acoustic guitar, and I've heard a lot more interesting stuff from acoustic guitars than electric ones. Not that electric are bad... they're great too!

[Grub]

I have both and personally like playing my acoustic more. It also depends on what you want to do. If you eventually want to be in a band, etc. you may want to go with the electric.

[Klington]

I am going to get an acoustic electric. Then one day I might upgrade to a hollow body electric.

[Cerb]

I agree with the acoustic electric. I prefer the warmer sound from the acoustic, but with the pickups you can still make your neighbours ears bleed.

[eymezin]

While acoustic makes a more beautiful sound electric is more versatile bang for your buck. There is far more music you can play on it, and you can change the sound for almost no money... but it's up to you

[Walabamba]

WOOT for acoustic!

[Klington]

Ok. I got the acoustic, but now my fingers hurt and I have to press reallly hard on the guitar strings for it to make the right noise. Is this normal?

[Walabamba]

It;s probably because you aren't used to playing acoustic yet, you should become accustomed to it and it should stop hurting, also, make sure your fingernails are cut really short, it helps alot.

[Noyzistan]

it is normal. Like Wala said, it's possible because your fingers haven't calloused yet. *grin* It will get better over time. If it bugs you a whole lot there are low tension strings that should be easier to play. Some fret boards also are easier to play than others.

I personally, have a classical/nylon string guitar because of my wimpy fingers. Now it's gotten to a point where I can play a couple songs on steel string guitars as well. :grin:
