kerryguy7	Learning guitar: Acoustic vs Electric? (123* d)	RE: Learning guitar: Acoustic vs Electric?	14 Mar 07
I too am just learning guitar. I am 55 years old and I used to play (chords only...and very poorly!) way back when I was in my mid-twenties. I just purchased an acoustic. After some advice from a salesman at Guitar Center here in Grand Rapids, I purchased an "Epiphone 150". I am trying to learn on my own BUT I might throw in the towel and decide to spring for some instrutor led group classes. Anyway, for what it is worth...I was told to begin learning on a simple acoustic guitar that sounds good and has a fairly good overall tonal quality. I was told that if I progressed far enough and if I was interested in extending my playing capabilities then and only then should I invest in an electric guitar. Any suggestions as to how an "old guy" :) like me can better master this here instrument?
