I hate my electric guitar (Page 2 of 2)

well that was a fairly dumb statement.  A Fiddle IS a violin, fiddle is just a slang term, they are exactly 100% the same thing.  whereas an acoustic and electric vary quite a bit.

Tell your tale to Yngwie Malmsteen.  You can get many different sounds from any electric,  as opposed to acacoustic

Read the reply. "IN PRACTICAL THEORY AN

ACOUSTIC AND ELECTRIC GUITAR MAKE SOUND THE

SAME WAY!."  Read the complete post.

The type and the way the sound is

presented is different.

Yes in the hands of someone who knows what to

do with it different sounds will come from

the two types of guitars.

Bootlegger.

Very good point!!!

There is room enough for everones thoughts and opinions. I don't know who likes who and don't care. I don't dislike you. I think you have alot to offer (and to learn). I think you are a brash, arrogant, full of yourself person with a chip on your shoulder that thinks he has something to prove. Thats cool with me cause often times so am I. I'm glad you speak your mind, if I knew it all we could just close chordie and everyone could e mail questions directly to me. Just please try to be less condicending to the beginers <img src="images/smiley_icons/icon_evil.gif" border=0 alt="Evil or Very Mad"> . Save the attitude for the vets that need to hear it now and again. The truth is that an electric and accoustic are very simmilar and very different. Nieghtther is easier or harder or beginer or advanced. If you want an electric sound start with an electric. If not then start accoustic. At any rate I recommend everyone should start with type of guitar that will give the sound and feel they want for thier music.

Dude, thanks for bringing up the topic. I can definatly relate. I myself purchaced a tastey les paul last year but only play my martin and epi accustics. The electric requires a completely different approach and style to get the right sound.

Its now for sale...but I'll never part with the martin

Yes there are tonal differences between

acoustic and electric guitars. Play both

you will become a more proficient complete

guitar player. Some will argue that you can

mask or hide flaws in your playing by effects

while playing electric but you can still hear

a sour note if you have a players ear. Same

goes with acoustic you can't hide mistakes.

That's why you PRACTICE!

Bootlegger.

its easy to say 'always learn on acoustic first' if this is what you've done but there are plenty of people out there who have learne on electric and im willing to bet at least one is better than you.

do what you want, and if you really want to be a rock star dont listen to any 'good advice'
