Question:

"Bruce824 asked "I'm strictly a beginner when it comes to the guitar. I enjoy the electric more than the standard acoustic, because I notice the neck is more slimmer. I also notice you don't have to press as hard on the strings against the frets on a electric as you do an acoustic. When learning to play from scratch, should I start with the electric or the acoustic.""
