Hey you! Please watch my new video 'When you LITERALLY Can't Stop playing Can't Stop' and subscribe! Oh I got a new song 'Ghetto Girl' on Spotify too!:-)) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/eNyTirx4mb2dgJ8.html

if someone told me I was "more of an effects guy than a guitar player" I don't know how I'd recover

High respect to classical guitarists. They shred on classical guitars the way you shred on electric.

This is actually the truest thing ever because I play electric like 95% of the time, and then when I go to somewhere like my grandparents place they only have an acoustic and it just makes me look like I’ve never played in my life 😂😂😂

I play acoustic 90% of the time, feels great whenever i use my friend’s electric. smoothness of the strings and not stressing my wrists😂

The real difficulty with acoustic is how you can bend forever and the note barely changes

I grew up playing acoustic and the first time I used an electric I was like "god damn, everything is so easy to move"

This is so true lol I only played electric for years had a band played out you know was decent but then you go to camp fire or whatever an someone hand u a acoustic an you sound an feel like you just started lol. Then I played acoustic for a few years an didn’t touch the electric much an it was the same in reverse but after a few day on electric I was ok again but tbh playing acoustic helped my playing so much cause I spent so much more time working on the basics my timing an rhythm not just trying to be that typical oh it time for my solo I’m going shred everyone face off guitar guy.

This is why bass players are better at acoustic than electric guitar players lol

“Maybe you’re more of an effects guy” ⚰️

Meanwhile the Acoustic Guitar Player trying electric: *muffled sounds of ascension*

“Maybe you’re more of an effects guy than a guitar player” bro went for the THROAT

Me transitioning acoustic to electric felt so easy

This is why I am so glad a started with acoustic

That's why you start on acoustic and electric. My dad always said "if you could play an acoustic,you can play an electric" and that can't be more true. You learn to rip on an acoustic and electric feels like nothing

I like to practice on acoustics most of the time so when I eventually get to an electric I just feels amazing. It's so tiny and easy to pick. Butter fingers man. Butter fingers.

Tim Henson: *shreds in nylon guitar*

now do the opposite an acoustic guitar player trying electric

lmao your skits are so accurate "i am the greatest guitar player" to "i can't play" 😂😂

I was this guy😂. Not that I think am exceptionally gifted on either electric or acoustic.. but after years of playing electric in band when I got on stage with just an acoustic I was flabbergasted by my inability to play without effects! Cheers man great video ❤

My son got a Les Paul Jr for his 11th birthday, the next year I got him a Gretsch acoustic. He has always thanked me for introducing him to a acoustic guitar and made him a better musician. He is 19 now

When it's the other way around it's amazing how easy electric feels especially really nicely built guitars with good action height

This is why you start at acoustic then graduate to electric. Every rock and metal guitarist legend agrees that if a riff sounds good on acoustic, you've got a good song.

I have been playing a bit of electric and now because of you I just picked up my acoustic for a bit to try it out

Remember to always practice without amplification, it teaches you to be more sonically aware and sophisticated with your playing

Personally, i think that acoustic guitars should mainly be used for chords, and electric guitars are for shredding and soloing

All guitar players shoukd start on acoustic. Get their true sound, and then switch to electric for effect

I used to think acoustic players were better. But it's just a different animal. I respect electric players too. Sometimes acoustic players suck on electric. I am one of them.

I love both acoustic and electric guitars. Here in the ph, we have a variety of music that can be played on any of the 2.

As someone who started on an acoustic and primarily plays acoustic, I am really thankful to my younger self for starting with acoustic so I can play both of them well

Glad I started on acoustic guitar

I only play acoustic because that's all I got, the one my parents got me for Christmas in high school. I play fingerstyle, which is really difficult. You'll be spending months on just one song. Days or weeks on even one bar. Speaking of bars, bar chords are much more difficult on acoustic. It's just raw sound, so a lot of sound will barely come out. You have to push the strings down hard and hold it very firmly and precisely. That got me to thinking. If I can now play the acoustic guitar decently, with a bachelor degree in music in fact(though on a different instrument, but still helpful), then electric guitar might be a pretty easy switch for me.

This is why I recommend you start on acoustic. I started on acoustic guitar but I’m not very good yet. I’ve also tried an electric guitar one time and hoping to play that a lot in the future too

This is why I only play acoustic or acoustic-electric guitars because it takes more skill and you have to be more precise but it has a awesome warm tone

We can play Acoustic just fine but we might struggle with a Spanish GUI at first

Thats why I have classical, acoustic and getting an electric now. And Im not the best, in fact Im begginner but Ive played those 3 types on guitars, and I wanna be just as good as playing songs with nice chords progressions on acoustic, and is as shredding and playing power chords and solos and everything there is on electric guitar

I think you should’ve used ur steel acoustic for this one lol

Starting out on classical or acoustic is absolutely amazing because pushing down the strings on the frets anr barring is absolutely childs play because of the higher action of classical and acoustic guitars

Fun fact : its not an acoust guitar, it's a classical nylon string guitar

As my favourite Hendrix meme goes “you have some nice gear, you could have some fun with another pedal. You could also practice more”

This is why I like to often practice electric parts on acoustic, it's like weighted training, makes everything a bit easier when you actually play it on electric.

my first guitar was acoustic and now i'm grateful for it. i hear people say its harder to play acoustic and I can't relate because that's how i learned. it took some time to develop a feel for electric though

So funny, true. I started on acoustic age eight. Got my first electric in junior high, but keep picking grinning on a 12 string acoustic. I'm 68 years old, play every day switch back and forth regularly. My experience is that acoustic is more beautiful , melodic, and creative .

As a bassist who started off as a classical guitarist can relate to that bass guy.

So glad I started playing classical guitar before electric for this exact reason

Yeah i know it, i started playing like 5 years ago , but i've never put my hand on electric but when i played it for the first time that was smooth way better that acoustic and also easier

Acoustic takes a lot of force to press a note , specially cheaper ones compared to the electric ones with an amp

I started in classical so it's actually the other way around to me 😅 Can play arpeggios nicely and barre chords are easy but i estimate that any solo is like at least half a year away from me

U know what’s funny is I started out on acoustic guitar and then started playing eclectic bc the thick stings of the acoustic guitar helps thicken your calluses better 😂

his guitar looks like it's survived 2 world wars

Hey there ! I really enjoy your videos, you seem really talented at guitar, I've been self taught for 2 years now and keep trying to push the envelope but don't have a very broad music taste, and wondered if you had some good recommendations for finger picking songs, or maybe some jazzy picking things just to jam out to, that you find fun or would say are quite skilled ? I'm at the point where I'm playing songs by Mississippi John Hurt, and songs by Her's, any recommendations would be lovely ! cheers so much

As an electric guitar player, this is extremely relatable. This is why is started learning some songs for acoustic, who also sound good on electric.

I can say with affirmation as I changed from doing flamenco and a classical guitar style to electric guitar, it felt so weird how easy it was to do riffs and slide. Facts

Trying an electric for the first time having only played acoustic made playing a piece of cake

Anytime I play my classical guitar I just noodle around harmonic minor. Maybe play adelita (the only classical piece I learned in its entirety) or some of yngwies acoustic parts which are all pretty good sounding. I always end up just thinking about how it sucks not having more frets though.

haha thankfully bassists can be as smug as we want because it translates right into acoustic bass

I've never liked Teles or weathering but something about that weathered Tele is amazing

Thats why i be practicing both

Dam that guitar got some personality

Bro one thing ,that electric guitar has its own nature of instrument ,i play electric guitar but i started with acoustic and i can play both of em pretty good so battle has ended for me here😂and Understanding effects making tone getting the right tone out of it is pretty tough as well and a piece of art itself

I warmup on my electric then play on the acoustic it actually kinda works and I dont know how

I’m gonna go practice on my flamenco really quick…

Bro with the Mexican Sombrero 😅

Lol this is hilarious . I just tried playing the electric guitar for the first time after playing acoustic/classical on and off for years and it surprised me how much easier it was to play chords on the electric. I appreciate both instruments! They’re all great

I play a classic/classical guitar mostly but when i play my electric its free flowing like ah cool breeze

If this video discourages you just know that it is possible to be able to play acoustic and electric

It's always a bassist who knows much more than a guitarist

Start playing both from the beginning

This is why I decided to do most of my practice on acoustic!

I respect great guitarists such as Hendrix, SRV, Richards, Johnny Winter all the more for being virtuosos of both.

Bass player who has only dabbled in the subject of guitars with small experience playing classical, acoustic and electric guitar. None of the 3 are harder than the other but they are all different in some ways, some skills will translate but they are most definitely entirely different instruments.

A big problem for me is the spacing between the strings. On my electric guitar , the fretboard is very narrow, even narrower than "standard" electic guitars. So, when i try playing on an acoustic, my finger movements don't match anymore

There are guys who can crush an acoustic guitar

"it doesn't sound like it", I'm crying my eyes out after that line😂

This is how I feel as an acoustic player when i try to play electric 😭

I started on a classical guitar and I practice both electric and classical so this wasn't really a problem for me, my only problem is getting used to extended range guitars

This piece is a revelation; parallel to a book that revealed much on these subjects. "A Life Unplugged: Reclaiming Reality in a Digital Age" by Theodore Blaze

Dude, trade the sombrero for a cowboy hat and you can pass for Hank Williams.

This for bass players and double bass but times 5

And acoustics have much firmer strings, so bending notes is much more difficult lol Hence why u can't apply acoustic strings to an electric, or vice versa, since they're made for different things. Well, u *can,* but idk if it's a good idea lol

I’ve been playing acoustic all my life and I would say im above average player but sadly I have never tried to play electric guitar and theres SO many songs I wanna play in it that don’t sound nice on acoustic

This i why i love a video of an acoustic cover of Sweet Child o Mine when Slash does the guitar solo on an acoustic guitar

It’s like filter vs no filter on selfies for all you snapchat or instagram users

See, that wouldn’t happen to me cause I bought a squier electric as my first guitar but all of the songs I’ve learned to this point are songs for an acoustic

I feel like classical and acoustic need a bit more differentiation 'cause I definitely think you could've pulled that off on acoustic... but I'm looking to deep into it your point is super valid lol. A lot of stuff that works on electric doesn't work on acoustic and it's just a fact. Very different instruments yet very similar 🤔

i’ve been playing classical and acoustic for 6-7 years but i struggle with electric guitar picking. idk why but this video is encouraging Edit: my main style is percussive fingerstyle, which is why i’ve never even thought of using a pick (other than a thumb pick) until now.

Bro went from Hendrix to beginner in 10 sec

“I can’t play guitar”😢😂 guy sounded so bummed. So funny

It really is like a whole different instrument I’ve play both doesn’t transfer well.

This is why I started off with acoustic😭

My little brother plays electric, and every time he picks up my acoustic guitar he gets mad that I don't have a pick and that he can't press down on the strings hard enough

That’s why you need to play on both lol I played strictly acoustic for a long time. When I feel like I’m falling behind on electric, I pick up my acoustic.

When I was a kid all I had was an acoustic and when I got an electric things got really really fun! Lol

I'm definetly the effects guy and now I feel outed.

Nobody can cover up bad playing with good effects… unless you play metal😌

These videos give me Soviet Womble plays Tarkov vibes

"Maybe you're more of an "effects" guy than a guitar player." VIBE

I’ve only been playing classical for years now and now playing electric is easier than ever.

Or just play cleans on your electric without effects, play chords and finger pick once in a while, don't forget to strum more than just straight 16ths or 8th notes and mix it up. It's not that hard to transition back and forth if you don't just play power chords and crank up the gain all the time.

That’s currently me right now
