Country western
so most people want to play the acoustic guitar
acoustic guitar. I don't think he ever played and electric guitar in his songs.
Any style you wish to play on it. From the Classics through Folk to Blues, Country and Rock ,the acoustic guitar can be used for everything. I personally prefer to use the Nylon stringed or Classical guitar which can also handle flamenco as well as all the other types of music.
most people start with a acoustic guitar because it is easier
Yes Most likely
The standard acoustic guitar string gauge used for most guitars is typically light or medium gauge strings.
The classical guitar is best bacause guitarists are most familiar with it.
Possibly the Martin D-28.
Sebastian Bach
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.
Flea plays bass. But most bass players CAN play guitar. And most guitar players CAN play bass. So Flea probably does play guitar! :)
