Like any other instrument, learning how to play the acoustic guitar can be challenging at first, but it is no harder than playing any other instrument. It really depends. I play acoustic guitar and I think I'm pretty good, but I'm still technically a beginner, maybe intermediate. I've been playing for about four years now. You have to be able to position your fingers corectly first, and you have to press down hard enough. Learning chords is simple - you should catch on pretty quickly to that. Whether it's you or a friendor whoever, good luck!

Is it harder to learn on an acoustic guitar?

I think it doesn't matter if you learn on an acoustic guitar or an electric guitar. One thing to know is that steel strings are hard on your fingers until the ends of your fingers start to toughen up, so sometimes it is an advantage to start off learning on a nylon string acoustic guitar. But it doesn't really matter, use what ever guitar you have but it is hard at the start and you need to persevere.

Which is the better guitar semi electric or acoustic?

This is what I experienced from my friend and I and we both play guitar. She plays electric and acoustic guitar (She likes acoustic the most). I play acoustic and its easier beginning with it (you can dominate electric guitar after playing the acoustic). But I think it would be better to start out with a basic acoustic guitar. An electric guitar would be the next level, for people who can afford one, and can play an acoustic. An electric guitar is also hard to carry(They're made of metal and plastic)and aren't cheap enough to get rid of or repair. The acoustic guitar isn't only just used for country( i hate country music... but i play acoustic!)it can be used for all kinds of things that you would probably want to know. Lets face the facts, you don't usually see an electric guitar player doing a solo on their porch. Electric guitar is better with more equipment and other people playing drums, e.t.c. But it just looks cool and has more varieties of sounds (with gear). So unless you are a hard-core rocker, or just think electric's better and cooler and want to take on these problems, go with the electric.

Electric guitar or acoustic guitar for newbbies?

accoustic coz u only need the guitar and plectrum and nothing and practise, but if u gettan electric 1 1st ull need like an amp and lead but @ least learn an acoustic 1 1st then gettan electric 1 when u know how coz if u give up u wont waist as much money. ===================== You have to start on the instrument you love. While it's usually easier to start on acoustic and then move to electric (Ritchie Blackmore of Deep Purple, one of the greatest guitar players, has admitted to having a hard time when he started playing acoustic Medieval music), it doesn't matter to a beginner. Starting out, you have to play the music you love. If you want to play Korn or Metallica, getting an acoustic guitar may simply bore you to the extent that you'll give it up. And if you want to play Jewel or Jack Johnson, you should get an acoustic. Start out on the instrument that gives you the sound you love. You can always move to the other sounds when you've matured more as a player.

How can an acoustic guitar generally sounds louder than an electric guitar without an electronic amplifier?

An acoustic guitar is hollow, with a sound hole, allowing it the reverberate the sound, and making it louder. An acoustic guitar is always louder than an electric. (When the electric has no amp.) Acoustic is hollow allowing the sound to reflect off the inside and echo producing louder sound waves. (Like an auditorium.) whereas the electric is hard below the strings preventing any echo.
