Does Anybody Play Acoustic?

I've been playing an acoustic for years, due to a severe lack of electric guitars in my personal surroundings. I only just got myself an electric, after god knows how many years. One thing I have discovered is that if you can get good at playing on an acoustic you will be twice as good on an electric.

Yupp acoustic is very hard to play. well harder than electric; so actually lucky you for playing on an acoustic for so long!
I have an acoustic. I don't play on it so much but I'll sing along on it, playing chords because that's more complimentary for me as opposed to an electric with plenty of distortion :P

I suppose these days I play as much Acoustic as Electric? I started out as purely an Acoustic Guitarist..... NO NO NO....None of That Devil's Electric Music for Me!!!!!! Well not then anyway. So I have always had Acoustics around and play them more or less continuously.

I do agree that starting on an acoustic does tend to leave you with a slightly stronger Fretting hand. But it should also end up leaving you with a Really Useful Right Hand too.......Fingerstyle, Clawhammer etc.

i have an acoustic, which i try to play as much as my electric, it usually depends on the mood i'm in for which one i pick up and play, never had a go of a classical though, maybe look into that in the future though
