The 12 string acoustic guitar, a wonderfully magic and awesome instrument, has been played in some iconic classics such as America's 'Horse with no Name', Bob Dylan's 'Hurricane' and Red Hot Chilli Peppers' 'Breaking the Girl' to name but a few. But how to play this mysterious instrument? Actually, it's easier than you think; there are many step-by-step DVDs available from online companies such as Amazon & Ebay as well as a plethora of tutorials on video sites such as YouTube to get you started.

Is it harder to learn to play on one guitar or to learn to play on different guitars?

If the question is is it harder to learn to play one guitar THAN it is to learn to play several different guitars at the same time, then in my opinion, it is easier to learn to play by using only one guitar. Start with a 6 string guitar, maybe an acoustic guitar. Get used to that one particular guitar. Then graduate to another guitar, same acoustic type but larger. The frets are the same but the feel is different. then go on to an electric guitar. I've played piano for a long time and I've learned to feel the vibrations the sounds create. Same with the guitar. I need to feel the vibrations. The electric guitar doesn't give much vibrations; so, I prefer the acoustic. Graduate to the base guitar (different guitar altogether). Now it's only 4 strings (unless you're adventuresome and go with a 5-string . . .) Maybe this explanation will help.
