Here’s the short answer:
Go electric. Every time.
If you're a beginner trying to decide between electric and acoustic guitar, listen closely—because making the wrong choice here can cost you years of progress, motivation, and money.
🎯 Why Electric Guitars Are the Right Choice
Let’s kill the myth:
You do not need to “start on acoustic” to be a real guitarist. That’s something your uncle who hasn’t played since high school says.
Here’s why smart beginners go electric:
✅ Easier to Play
Electric guitars are easy to hold, the strings are easier to press, and the necks are more forgiving.
Translation: less pain, faster progress.
✅ Headphone Friendly
Don’t want to annoy your family, neighbors, or roommates?
You can play silently through headphones.
Try doing that with an acoustic.
✅ Real-World Skills
Every guitarist you admire—Hendrix, Mayer, Vai, Slash, SRV, Frusciante—they all play electric.
Why would you start on something you’ll eventually ditch?
🤯 The Truth About Acoustic Guitars
Acoustics are harder to play, harder to mic, and harder to mix into modern music.
They’re great after you’ve built finger strength and musical confidence.
Starting on acoustic is like learning to race cars by pushing a shopping cart uphill.
You want to make music that sounds good fast? You want to have fun?
You want to win?
Then start with an electric.
