But then what about the down sides... for a beginner anyway.. When I started playing all I had was a nylon stringed acoustic, I didnt have access to an electric. My dad taught me the basic chords A C D E F G.
I found that once I had mastered, the chords, theory of chords, majors, sevenths, ninths, minors, and other denoms... I had the chance to play on the electric.
For the life of me I could not play it coz I was used to the massive fretboard of the nylon acoustic.
If your talking about the steel-stringed acoustic, they do have similar size fretboards, I found with these that you learn to press very hard and your calouses develop painfully, but become very hard, so to get the note you dont realise your pressing hard. Then you do this on an electric, which means the note you try is half a step to high.
Im sure there are loads more.... but I cant think at the minute
When someone pis*es you off, relax, and pick up the guitar.... then beat them around the head with it!
