RE: What is the best guitar for a beginner?
I learnt in an electric but I think if I could go back I would learn on a nylon stringed acoustic!

It can be a shock when you switch to an acoustic after learning on an electric guitar.
The pressure needed to hold down the strings can surprise people.
Nylon or steel strings will build up your callouses and finger strength much faster I'm guessing but then when you switch to electric it's a breeze.
I learned on a steel stringed acoustic. You know, the one with the mystical story behind it. I haven't forgotten about it and will relay it soon.
Things are very messed up here right now but I will get around to it sometime. It's a cracking yarn. 👍
I do love a cracking yarn!
I agree and that is why I think that an acoustic is a great guitar to learn on. You really get a feel for walloping those strings down and get the callouses and finger strength required to play well. I have several electrics and still love picking up my old nylon acoustic for a mess about!
