Glad I found your video clip as I'm thinking about buying an Electro Acoustic Guitar. A very informative video although I'm watching it 8 years after it was recorded. Thank you.
I have been playing guitar since 2 years........ So atleast I know the basics. But when it came in my recomendations I just thought to take a look........ The video was really informative and with good explanation. Keep making more useful videos like this.
The Acoustic-Electric might be easier to play than a Standard Acoustic Guitar (in fact it's just as easy to play as an Electric Guitar with easier action & lighter strings) because they usually use Extra Light Gauge Strings/10s (or even lighter like 9s/Ultra Lights) to emulate kinda an Electric Guitar type feel which relieves alot of pressure off the fretting hand.
Even though Electric Guitars are begginer friendly, the Acoustic-Electric is also fantastic for begginers cause the Electric Guitar feel & Acoustic Guitar resonance combined is super cool. Lots of companies like Dean, Taylor, Martin, there's alot of them had the bright idea of making Acoustic Guitars that feel like Electrics. Ovation's Acoustic-Electric instruments have a bowl back like a Lute made out of plastic.
Acoustic-Electric is a combination of an Acoustic & an electric Guitar all in one instrument. The Acoustic-electric advantage is that it's much larger in versatility.
The Acoustic-electric is strung with really light gauge strings to get the Electric Guitar feel, & yes the lightest gauge of strings on an Acoustic might relieve lots of tension of the top.
If you’re living with other people in the house, the electric is a life saver since you can play it anytime you want, while other people are studying, sleeping etc. in the room next door. Also, you need many repetitions to play a piece well, and I think other people shouldn’t be subjected to 200 repetitions of your poorly played piece 😂 electric all the way, and with recent developments in technology, that includes the pianos as well 👍🏼 (I’m a pianist)
Is electric-acoustic guitar sounds the same with acoustic guitar when the electric Acoustic is not connected with the speaker?That's what I want to learn because I am beginner
Yes it's still sounds acoustic, but the two guitars they have cut away and non-cut away, so they have still difference because guitar with cut away sounds bright but guitar with non-cut away sounds more natural, more full, and more bass sound
Ut I wanted to hear what they sounded like. Thata kinda what the video implies. Great for the information, Shame there was no sound to compare them with one another.
So does it play just like a full acoustic when it's not plugged in? What if all I can find right now is a electro acoustic but you don't want to use the electric part is that possible?
It wasn't until watching this video and a few others like it that I realized that my acoustic is an acoustic electric lol. I figured it was just a modified acoustic guitar when I saw the amp and tuner
When you say “plug in” do you mean like an amp? I have a regular acoustic, but I’m interested in playing at my church and I think an amp will help my guitar to not be drowned out. So would I need an electric for that?
I'm really new to acoustic electric guitars so sorry if I sound dumb. I was at a music shop about a month ago and I was looking at an acoustic electric guitar and the hole at the bottom of the guitar were you plug it in was right where the strap button would be. With that guitar would I not be about to play with a strap on? Please tell me how this works I don't want to have to go on a 3 month mission to fing out.
It's funny that people who have played for 40 years can't tell they're out of tune. I've played less than a year and I'm in no way what I'd describe as good. To a non guitar player I can make it seem like I know what I'm doing but a pro would spot me immediately. I can't play even a partial barre chord BUT I can tell if my guitar is even slightly out. I can't tune it by ear and once couldn't find my tuner (still haven't actually, I just ordered a new one) and had to get my tutor to drive over and tune it for me. He said it was only out by a bit, and I must have a naturally good ear. It didn't sound a little bit out to me, it sounded awful, I couldn't play it like that. I honestly don't know how anyone could play for that long and NOT develop an ear for it. Unless you taught yourself to play, on an out of tune guitar, never let anyone else play it or hear you play it, never played anyone else's guitar that WAS in tune. That's the only way I can think it'd be possible, songs would just sound wrong. I'm gonna learn to tune it by ear though so I don't have to worry about losing my tuner or the battery going dead etc. So my ears are THAT good yet really
i'm a beginner with guitars.. and i want to buy my own guitar. since i'm a beginner, which type of guitar should i buy? acoustic guitar or acoustic electric guitar?
I would say just get acoustic electric once and for all, so you don't have to upgrade later. + Once you learn you can plug it in to an amp and jam with your friends ☺
What is the guitar in the video behind your dad? The one to my left while watching (behind his far right in the video). It is the electric acoustic full box style that is a medium/dark brown face with natural wood grain pattern? I am looking for almost that exact style.
Clue is in the name… acoustic is not electric. So an ‘acoustic electric’ means you can play both sets. If it was simply electric, guess what, it would just be called an electric guitar!
Kevin Van Vooren no need to be rude especially when someone is being nice and offering positively. maybe it’s bc you don’t agree with this person beliefs however please try to be more mature 🤍
My daughter wants a guitar and I am leaning towards the electric acoustic guitar but what would she need along with that? I’m guessing you just can’t buy the guitar.
I am very green, so am just trying to get as much info as I can. 2 questions: Is there a difference between an Acoustic Electric and an Electro Acoustic guitar, are is it just two roads to the same place? Secondly, when the Acoustic Electric is plugged in does it sound like an acoustic or a electric guitar? Thanks for your help!
Jacob Eyres Good Job on doing the homework before you make a decision. An electro-acoustic is the same thing as an acoustic electric. As far as the sound, it will sounds like an acoustic guitar if you are using an amp that’s designed for acoustic-electrics or a PA. If you use an amp that’s designed for electric guitar, you will be able to get some more sounds out of your instrument, but it may not sound very clean.
I don’t kn how ppl can play guitar that ain’t tuned. I’ve been playing for a yeah and I got a acoustic and electric. But I’m looking into buying a C/E. But fr tho I tune my guitar like everyday
MEA-17N Is this an accustic electric? and i need to know how to plug it in but not an accustic sound. I want an electric sound more..? Does that make sense??
Wolf Blood maybe consider an electric guitar the quality of an electric guitar would be better because the pickups would handle effects better but if u want to be able to have an acoustic as soon as u unplug then you can add effects to it just as u would an electric guitar. And yes that guitar is electric acoustic
Buy acoustic if you want to learn how to play, it is cheaper, if you intend to play to large crowd then go for acoustic electric, you can plug it to an amplifier to amplified the sound.
They are the exact same. If you get the acoustic electric and never plug it in, you lose the money, but you lose nothing in sound or playability. I’d personally say it’s worth it if you can spare it. Just in case you want to try a different style later on.

Acoustic-Electric is a combination of an Acoustic & an electric Guitar all in one instrument. The Acoustic-electric advantage is that it's much larger in versatility.
love your dad's voice....he's got a Bob Ross calming voice.
The built in tuner is also great especially for the 12 String Guitar because with that many Strings, the built in tuner will help with tuning it up.
But sometime built in tuner is not accurate , compare a tuner clip
The Acoustic-electric is strung with really light gauge strings to get the Electric Guitar feel, & yes the lightest gauge of strings on an Acoustic might relieve lots of tension of the top.
Aww a sweet showcase of father and son's love
I love how he pauses as soon as Dad talks . You must have so much respect for his knowledge

What amp should I buy for an acoustic-electric guitar? Should I buy an electric amp or an acoustic amp?
The Acoustic Electric Guitar feels much like a Solid Body Electric because the Strings are thinner, the neck is skinnier, and the body is smaller.
this is the most cute+informative video of this week.
Is electric-acoustic guitar sounds the same with acoustic guitar when the electric Acoustic is not connected with the speaker?That's what I want to learn because I am beginner

You can always turn your Acoustic Guitar into an Acoustic-Electric by adding a Piezo Pickup & Preamp System.

Acoustic-Electric Guitars & Electric Guitars (even the MAB Double Neck Guitar) are great for churches cause they have an elaborated system.

A lot of us have age-related ear priblems making tuning hard. I've also had meds that adversely effected my hearing.
All you need is an $ 6.00 clamp on tuner and eyes. The tuner does the listening. Look on ebay or Amazon there are many of them.
Lots of people would actually turn their Acoustic into an Acoustic-Electric by adding a piezo pickup to it.
I got my acustitic from amazon for 75bucks. But since i
saw this built in tuner i might order the one on here.
Does the acoustic electric sound like a normal acoustic guitar if it’s not plugged in?

Is a semi acoustic guitar and an acoustic electric guitar the same thing?
Yes IMO, grtz Luc
Gregory Jackson no
Semi-hollow is not the same as acoustic. Semi-acoustic is not a thing. An instrument is either acoustic or it is not, but can not be semi-acoustic.
Lessons with Cameron would the term "semi electric" be better.
Sounds frightening.
One minute it's just normal, the next it shoots lightning at you.
