Which guitar should I choose between acoustic and electric for learning?
Choose the kind of guitar that inspires you. Some points you may consider while choosing your guitar are your budget, physical differences between acoustic and electric guitars, their playability, your genre of interest, and your favorite artist. Electric guitars are physically somewhat easier to play as the strings are lighter and far more comfortable than acoustic guitars. Acoustic guitars are often considered harder to learn due to heavier strings and height of the strings.
Can guitar be self taught?
Yes, you can learn guitar on your own! With the availability of so many online courses, books and tutorials, learning guitar yourself is a lot easier today. If you want to polish your techniques, you may take physical classes from a teacher. But either way, you need to put in enough hard work and determination to learn guitar properly.
