Topic: Acoustic or Electric Guitar

An acoustic guitar is hollow, and almost always has a "sound hole" - a round hole in the face of the guitar. Acoustic guitars almost always have six strings. When you strike the strings of an acoustic guitar, the instrument produces a rather loud sound. Although acoustic guitars are often associated with folk music, and "mellow" music in general, they are in truth in all styles of music, from country to blues to heavy metal.

If you lean towards rock music, an electric guitar is advisable. If your interest is on classical or folk, then an acoustic guitar would be best. Generally, acoustic guitars are more suited for beginners, it is also less expensive and portable than an electric guitar.

Learning Guitar - Acoustic or Electric?
Part 1: Electric vs. Acoustic

By Dan Cross, About.com

Of all the e-mail I receive, by far the most common question I'm asked is "Which is better to learn on... an electric guitar, or an acoustic guitar?" The answer to that question, despite what many would lead you to believe, is a little more complicated than "electric is best", or "acoustic is best". To find an answer for this question yourself, let's begin by learning a little bit about both electric and acoustic guitars, and what makes them different.

Acoustic Guitar

This is the instrument most people think of when they think "guitar". An acoustic guitar is hollow, and almost always has a "sound hole" - a round hole in the face of the guitar. Acoustic guitars almost always have six strings. When you strike the strings of an acoustic guitar, the instrument produces a rather loud sound. Although acoustic guitars are often associated with folk music, and "mellow" music in general, they are in truth in all styles of music, from country to blues to heavy metal.
