    Default Acoustic Vs Electic

    Acoustic or electric guitar, which do you prefer to listen to?

    I'd have to say it depends on the mood I'm in and the genre it is.
    If I turn my back I'm defenceless, and to go blindly seems senseless.

    Acoustic, any day of the week.

    It's natural.

    I definitely prefer to play the acoustic, but which one I'd rather listen to depends on my mood. For a while I've been listening to a lot more acoustic-driven music, but very recently I've been trying to rediscover the electric guitar, so it's probably an even split right now.

    Sometimes I wonder what my life would be like if I were as great as Paulo Wanchope.

    Depends, but for actual sound I love the acoustic.

    Really does depend on the style, i mean acoustic would just sound wrong for some slayer type riffage. For writing i tend to prefer acoustic though, it saves plugging in and you can hear the subtleties better.

    Yes, it depends on a lot of things. For the most part though, I appreciate the acoustic guitar a lot more. I love the raw natural sound it makes. If you want some talented acoustic guitarists, check out Days of the New (more specifically, Travis Meeks).

    It depends on my mood. Sound-wise, I have to pick the pretty sound of an acoustic though.

    To name a few, yes. Just that I am listening to Days of the New right now.

    I depends on the mood, but in general, I seem to enjoy the sound of a classical guitar rather than that of an electric guitar.

    The mellow timbre of the classical guitar's strings is simply superior - in my view of things.

    Electric, both to play and listen to. All I need is my BC Rich Warlock and my Marshall stack cranked to "11".

    The action of an electric is smaller so it's easier to play but I think the acoustic has a nicer sound. I haven't touched my electric in months, but I play my acoustic every day.
