The technique that is the easiest way to learn guitar is also the technique that has been around the longest. It's the tried and true method of learning popular songs, or portions of songs, right away, in short, focused, and enjoyable lessons. Technical and music theory lesson is delayed until much later lessons when the student has gained a foothold and more importantly, gained confidence.

One on one guitar lessons are the most effective, but can be very expensive. I suggest looking for the right program on the web. However, there are many guitar lessons online, but I would look for one that uses some form of the above method using a very visual system, like video.

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.


Can you learn the same on classical and acoustic guitar?

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.

Is a acoustic guitar the easiest to play?

No, but it's best to play acoustic then move onto electric, because if you learn electric first, then transition to acoustic your fingers will be used to electric guitar strings and won't be tough enough to play chords well on an acoustic.

Does guitar class in high school require an acoustic or electric guitar?

The big difference between these types of guitar is that an electric is much quieter than an acoustic. In a high school class full of teenagers a student with an electric guitar will not be able to be heard by the teacher. This is a BIG detriment to one's progression with the instrument. Most classes require an acoustic guitar but technically you can still learn in a group setting with a quieter electric guitar.

Which is best for an 11 year old to learn on a electric or acoustic guitar?

It's really up to them. Though, I would suggest an electric guitar since it is easier to learn on; but after learning how to play an acoustic guitar first, the electric should be much easier. You should consider going to a music store and let them decide which one they are more comfortable playing, you may decide to buy both!
