I always thought playing the electric guitar was more expressive and fascinating than playing the acoustic guitar. But recently i found out that even the acoustic is something that cant be ignored. Playing the harmonics and plucking on the acoustic can produce sounds that can really amaze anyone. Well the question i've always asked myself is that in the end which one of the two is the better,most sought after??

I prefer acoustic because it is more gentle. Everytime I listen to acoustic music it makes me relax. Acoustic musics right now is very popular any kind of songs can play in acoustic guitar.

The acoustic guitar can be gentle and calming but it can also be loud and lively, flamenco for example.

It's very difficult to choose which one better. it depends on our mood. when we need to calm ourselves, maybe acoustic would be better. and in the other way, electrical guitar would be better when want to be more expressive.

You can't really say that one is better than the other, as they're 2 completely different styles. It all depends on the guitarist's opinion and what style of music they want to play. Acoustic guitar is usually thought of as harder to play than electric, and a lot of acoustic guitar songs take more skill to play than electric guitar songs. This isn't always the case, though.

i don't know how to play them but my brother has both of them (and a bass guitar too). I noticed an acoustic guitar is more useful because you can practically play it whenever and wherever you want. When he's bored, he plays acoustic songs. When he composes some music, he does it with his acoustic guitar. I think it is a basic guitar so everyone who plays a guitar would definitely own an acoustic guitar..It just what I think and notice..

well, they both have their perks... with an electric you can use all kinds of crazy effects and get some crazy tones and you are able to add gain making noises you could never get out of an acoustic. with an acoustic, you have a clean bright sound that truly is beauty full. and there are some things that only sound right when played on the acoustic, like playing chords, when you play a chord on an acoustic, you can really feel it a lot than an electric. it really is a hard decision. i cannot choose, i love them both.
