Which Type Of Guitar Should You Learn To Impress A Girl Or Guy

Which Type Of Guitar Is Best For You

Just about every guy in the world has wanted to learn how to play the guitar at some point in his life. Some people learn young, while some never learn at all. The beauty of the guitar is that it is never too late to learn how to play. Whether you want to impress the girls, catch a guy’s eyes, or just chase that childhood dream now that you are old enough to really appreciate it, learning to play is still on the cards. The question is, should you learn on an electric guitar or on an acoustic? It is possible to learn on either. Is one harder to learn and to play than the other?
The answer is yes… and no.

Which Should You Choose to Learn and Play

If you plan to play mostly or solely electric guitar, you may as well learn on it. The Les Paul Epiphone electric guitar by Gibson, (especially when combined with a Focusrite Scarlett) is a great guitar for beginners to learn how to play. If, on the other hand, you are not very likely to play onstage and are just playing on the beach or in your apartment… your neighbors will probably prefer it if you learn the acoustic.

The Acoustic Guitar
1.  Has thicker strings and will be harder on the
playing fingers

2.  Has more depth of play, allowing you to play rhythm as well as riffs

3.  A regular acoustic guitar is lighter, and requires no heavy amp to produce a great sound
4. Practicing on an acoustic guitar is not as noisy as on an electric guitar – this will probably not impact your neighbours as
well as the rest of the family who share your home.

 

On a Scale from One to Ten

Most people prefer to learn on the acoustic guitar before switching to electric. You can take your acoustic just about anywhere and play it anytime. This makes learning and practicing far more feasible than the bulky electric, which requires electricity to practise and to
jam. The most lucrative part of playing and learning to play a standard acoustic guitar however is the opposite of the sex attraction factor which comes with playing an electric guitar. On a scale of one to ten, ten being the most romantic or sexiest, the acoustic rates a solid 10 while the electric guitar rates a 3. (A 7 if it is a Les Paul Epiphone) Mate attractability differences between acoustic and electric guitars:

 

1.           You can whip your acoustic guitar out of the trunk of your car anywhere you happen to be   and impress a girl (or guy) with
your song writing

2.           You can walk through the park with your
acoustic… no strings attached

3.          The acoustic guitar is just as good for slow,
sweet melodies or head banging rock

4.           Less expensive than an electric guitar, you may
still have money left over to pay for dinner and perhaps buy the girl or guy some flowers (or a Zippo)

1.          A heavier guitar and you would also have to
drag a bulky amplifier with you wherever you went (and the girl who is with you might have to carry it for you over rough terrain so you could protect your expensive electric guitar)

2.          Even slow sweet songs are a little loud on an electric guitar… which would limit the kind of girl or guy you woo

3.           You cannot safely play your music near a romantic lake, during a romantic boat ride, or if there is a chance of rain or you could electrocute yourself and the girl or guy you are with… effectively ending your chances for a second date

4.          Some electric guitars are so expensive that
anyone you try to impress on a date would have to pay for the food

5.           People who play on the street corner, subway, or park get more money in their acoustic guitar case than those who play electric

6.           It is nearly impossible to find an electrical outlet in a romantic outdoor setting

7.           The type of music played is very limited when it comes to the electric guitar

On the other hand, if it is pure rock and roll that you are after, nothing beats a Les Paul… especially a Les Paul Epiphone. Let’s face it… if John Lennon , ZakkWylde, and Gary Clark Jr. all endorse the
Les Paul Epiphone electric guitar, who are we to argue? The trick is to learn both by purchasing both. You can practice the acoustic just about anywhere but when you are at home… rock it on out with the Epiphone. Who knows, you might just get a date with the guy or girl next door.
