Umm hello? This is classical guitar not acoustic
@@xeither289agree w that
if someone told me I was "more of an effects guy than a guitar player" I don't know how I'd recover
Yea as soon as he said that i thought, damn… he’s been waiting to say that
I'd be fine with it a couple of my favorite guitarists could be described that way
I’d buy a bass
@@boejudden9011 I play bass.

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 😂😂😂
Seriously same 💀
Sounds like a skill issue
@@luger4799 🤓
@@JupiterKnight you really couldn't come up with anything back so you used that.wow.🤏🤏🤏🤏🤏
I started with acoustic, then switched to electric but I couldn’t go back 😭
High respect to classical guitarists. They shred on classical guitars the way you shred on electric.
Yeah..... Flamenco , rumba , fingerstyle..... Great techniques
@@deeznuts8624 Those styles also sound amazing with distortion
@@genshinshenanigans7027 the probably do but they sound better without
I don't use a pick but I use picado technique to shred, virtually no difference on how they sound
people playing pieces like asturias' "leyenda" and other cool pieces
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😂
Jesus I learned it only very recently that it was so much harder to do effects on an acoustic rather than an electric, i never own an electric so I thought I had to practice a looot on my acoustic but guess i would be very good on an electric guitar hahah
That’s why I usually practice on acoustic, everything becomes so easy on electric if I can do it half decently on acoustic.
Acoustic trains you harder on finger strength and accuracy.
That said, I don’t do metal stuffs anymore, I’m now more of a jazz guy.
Yeah Electric Guitar is very easy for Acoustic Guitarist
@@piyaphummuetkhambong768 Go play Flamenco Diablo by Malmsteen and tell me it is easy.
Bruh I get that feeling too when I try their electric guitars on the store
The real difficulty with acoustic is how you can bend forever and the note barely changes
I was destroying my fingers trying to make a decent bend on acoustic, I think i need an electric guitar
Just grow some balls
@@jungleninja8415 I still play acoustic, I'm just saying why it's difficult
Go lighter strings and I play half step down alot, so it's super easy
its a slightly harder skill to learn but its so worth it. elliott smith’s “everything reminds me of her” is a good place to start cause its in a full step down. plus its one of the most iconic acoustic bends ever
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.
I got some camp fire songs on Spotify like 'Missing', check them out and play along:-))
It’s true, you can hide a lot with fx and big sound: thanks for sharing!
Nice bro 😀
@@bldbar118 This isnt true, using an amp just amplifies everything, including your mistakes.
I’ve been playing ⚡️ guitar for years. Pretty good I’d say. Someone recently asked me to play guitar at church on their acoustic. I said “Sure. No problem.”
Problem.
I just discovered how terrible I am on acoustic! Those strings REFUSE TO LISTEN!!! SUCH INSOLENCE! The action is up near the ceiling. The strings have to be like .050 gauge or something ridiculous like that, right?
RIGHT???
Led me to buy a 1985 Ovation Collectors Series. Feels like starting all over.
This is why bass players are better at acoustic than electric guitar players lol
Wtf is master yoda doin here?
@@EdwardVanHalen_16 Ask the same question to you, i could.
@@smoothyodaproductions4373 I play guitar and bass
@@EdwardVanHalen_16 same but mainly bass
Well that’s just false
“Maybe you’re more of an effects guy”
⚰️
Meanwhile the Acoustic Guitar Player trying electric: *muffled sounds of ascension*
This is why I am so glad a started with acoustic
Me transitioning acoustic to electric felt so easy
Fr. Just gotta stop putting so much pressure on the electric guitar 😂
I used to play a guitar and a ukulele. When I switch to a electric, it was surprisingly easier to play
@@chloet9263 same my very first instrument to play was ukulele
lmao your skits are so accurate "i am the greatest guitar player" to "i can't play" 😂😂
now do the opposite an acoustic guitar player trying electric
“Maybe you’re more of an effects guy than a guitar player” bro went for the THROAT
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 ❤
haha good story i can relate, thanks!
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.
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
Omw to prove this, I’ve play Spanish guitar and yesterday I bought an electrical one. I hope the transition is as good as people make it sound
@@floresilla you're a natural I promise. Strings are so much harder to push down on acoustic and if you can learn harmonics,pinch harmonics and how to play melodically on acoustic you will be insane on electric
meh, if you want to play electric guitar in the fist place it's pointless to star on acoustic
@@gergoretvari6373 how is it pointless, acoustic has a more natural and better sound sound and is more aesthetic than an electric
@@21istheone55 thats only your opinion. I think electric is more appealing. Its pointlesd to start on an acoustic guitar if you want to play electric in the first place because its not mandatory. They are completly different, Just like a 7 or 8 string guitar. If beginners wants to play electric guitar they are not required to start on acoustic, because thats Just an extra obsticle and they are likely giving up easier or have a harder time.
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.
pointless to start on an acoustic if you want to play electric in the first place.
what legends said that?
@@gergoretvari6373 You are right all these people that think they are comparable at all, is hilarious.
Go play like Malmsteen on Acoustic. I will wait. lmao
@@gergoretvari6373I mean, personally, even if you have an electric, it's good to practice riffs and stuff on your acoustic. You get some serious finger strength and picking/hand movements and in any live show with an electric, you'll crush it!
@@Itsshaunbewarned i'm not saying you shouldn't play anything on it. I'm saying that if you just start as a beginner, there is no need to start with an acoustic first then "graduate" to electric. It required more strength to play on it, but that's the catch. As a beginner everything is hard, even on electric. And if you just started because you want to play music that uses electric guitar there is absolutely no need to start on acoustic. It will only demotivate you more, because it's hared to play and you're not even doing what you wanted in the first place.
You get finger strength from it, but as for hand movements, i don't think so that much.
@@gergoretvari6373 if that's your cup of tea that's okay my friend! For me I like practicing stuff on an acoustic so I can get the strength to do it on an electric in a live show or something but what you said is also correct. For people with less time and patience who want to quickly rock shows, an acoustic wouldn't cut it.
Tim Henson: *shreds in nylon guitar*
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.
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
The things I'd do for a parent like you that supports kids hobbies, carry on being a boss my guy
his guitar looks like it's survived 2 world wars
As my favourite Hendrix meme goes “you have some nice gear, you could have some fun with another pedal. You could also practice more”
I think you should’ve used ur steel acoustic for this one lol
We can play Acoustic just fine but we might struggle with a Spanish GUI at first
All guitar players shoukd start on acoustic. Get their true sound, and then switch to electric for effect
So glad I started playing classical guitar before electric for this exact reason
Dam that guitar got some personality
haha thankfully bassists can be as smug as we want because it translates right into acoustic bass
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
I’m gonna go practice on my flamenco really quick…
me too
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.
It's always a bassist who knows much more than a guitarist
As a bassist who started off as a classical guitarist can relate to that bass guy.
Remember to always practice without amplification, it teaches you to be more sonically aware and sophisticated with your playing
No, don't do it, it dirtied my playing more than cleaning it, because of the tiny stuff you don't hear without amp, the correct thing is to use little distortion
@@lolxd7753 agreed, this held my muting technique back a lot
there's no way this is true, I play unplugged a lot (because my amp sounds like shit) and whenever I do plug in I hear all the unwanted noise I wouldn't otherwise hear
@@kiiturii yeah, it's a very bad advice. what amp do you use?
@@gergoretvari6373 I've only been playing for a little over 2 months so I'm still using one of those small practice amps from a starter bundle, I'm planning on upgrading once I can afford it
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
Dont Acoustic Guitars require more Handstrength than Classical Guitars?
Im pretty sure Acoustics have more string tension than electrics and classics- sorry if it sounds rude.. maybe you meant electric? :]
@xXPurplePizzaFNaFXx what I meant was on an electric guitar barring and pushing down on strings is super easy because I played classical and acoustic
Bro with the Mexican Sombrero 😅
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
There are guys who can crush an acoustic guitar
This really hit hard. 😢😊
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
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
"it doesn't sound like it", I'm crying my eyes out after that line😂
These videos give me Soviet Womble plays Tarkov vibes
I've never liked Teles or weathering but something about that weathered Tele is amazing
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 .
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 😂
This is why I decided to do most of my practice on acoustic!
"Maybe you're more of an "effects" guy than a guitar player."
VIBE
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
"No I've been playing for years" that face was literally perfect 😹
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 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
Nice job, Mark morgan!
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
This for bass players and double bass but times 5
I'm definetly the effects guy and now I feel outed.
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 play a classic/classical guitar mostly but when i play my electric its free flowing like ah cool breeze
Thats exactly how a telecaster should look
“it’s loud enough”. Now that is funny!
Fun fact : its not an acoust guitar, it's a classical nylon string guitar
🤓
That's stupid, every guitar that doesn't need electrical amplifying is an acoustic guitar.
Fun fact : Nylon stringed guitars are still acoustics, lmao
Fun fact there are electric and acoustic guitars, and inside of acoustic guitars there are plain acoustic and classical/Spanish
@@Timootius still they are different.
I respect great guitarists such as Hendrix, SRV, Richards, Johnny Winter all the more for being virtuosos of both.
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.
Thats a classic my guy
I warmup on my electric then play on the acoustic it actually kinda works and I dont know how
Ok wow that's great brother..
Thats why i be practicing both
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
When I was a kid all I had was an acoustic and when I got an electric things got really really fun! Lol
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.
I feel this way but going from acoustic to 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
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
Steve Hackett inventing tapping and shredding Bach with an acoustic: "Amateurs"
"I canst plays dis Grandpa's guitars"- Skiwsgard
"we cans not plays fast, physically"
this happened to me as a beginner who started on the electric guitar, i learned some fingerstyle songs on my acoustic afterwards
Yeah I primarily play on acoustic, My issues is I suck with picks as I use the tips of my fingers to strum
That’s currently me right now
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 this guy! It's a treat to watch your videos, 🤣LMFAO
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
Sha zam hot damn son smoking those strings brother
That was the same for me too
Everything in this 100% true & relatable 😂😂
Same in reverse! Buying an electric guitar taught me how much I still suck 😅
Trying an electric for the first time having only played acoustic made playing a piece of cake
I love your vids and wtf happens to that Telli it’s. Been through some use
That hat really suits you as a guitar player
It’s like filter vs no filter on selfies for all you snapchat or instagram users
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 only been playing classical for years now and now playing electric is easier than ever.
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.
I’m this in reverse. I’ve only ever played acoustic lol
Now I wanna see "when acoustic player tries electric"
i have an electric acoustic
i want to give it to him
please!
I’d love to see the bass player try an acoustic bass then
