Actually barre chords are essential on acoustics too. I only play acoustic, no electric, and I use barre chords ALL the time. I find there is no way around that milestone if you got a high action and high tension strings, but if you do have a high action and don't want to change it, start with light or super light strings and that should be able to get you started. High actions should be lowered though.
Another thing is, DON'T just always try and find other ways to get around playing barre chords.
Be determined and practice practice practice, and it will come and open up a whole new world for guitar playing.
Good luck!
Me? I got two.
a yamaha classical, with which I take classical lessons, and An Ibanez acoustic that over twenty years old and still has pretty good sound and does not look aged barely at all.
I use 'em both, but definitely the acoustic more.
And I got them both for nothing.
I want to get a acoustic electric, but I'm not sure what kind yet.
Does any body have a recommendation for a site with a bunch of free easy tabs?
I am pretty good at guitar but I just started trying tabs, and want to get good at reading them.
Thanks!

I am talking about when they are plugged in,
Is there a general difference between an acoustic with a built in pickup and one that you add the pickup over the sound hole?
I might not know what I'm talking about, but isn't there a difference?
thanks for the help.
Hey I was just wondering, is there a big difference between the sound of an actual electric acoustic
and an acoustic with a pickup added??
Thanks
Mostly the reason that I play acoustic is that I don't have an electric. :-)
but I prefer the sound of an acoustic by alot.
If I could choose any guitar I'd probably opt for an acoustic electric.

i think that's it, if I'm wrong tell me, I'm new at tabbing.
I only have an Acoustic at home, but when I go to my friends I play electric.
I like playing along with existing numbers alot too.
I go with what Alvee33 said, that is what I have always done and it really helps for when you switch to E or D
umm i find the Db that you don't bar killer at first, but I'm getting over it. most chords that you barre using any finger but the index finger I just CANNOT do, unless i'm using an eletric.
I agree, over and over and over again. I've been playing for five years, and that is how it worked for me.
Songs with a lot of D7 and G, or songs with the progression of E A D really help too.
Especial if you play the A a little different, kind of like having your fingers the way you do in the position you play D7, only all crammed in that one fret. I find that helps the changing ALOT.
