Is learning Classical guitar better than electric or Steel string Acoustic ?

I am a bit confused over opting for either Classical guitar or the Acoustic steel string guitar music classes ! The instructor told me learning classical would build a strong foundation and I can easily adapt to other methods(electric, steel string etc.).I have been playing a steel string for 2 years and more inclined to finger style Please advise !

That’s silly. If you’ve got a good teacher, you’ll get a strong foundation regardless of what type of guitar you want to play. It’s best to just start off on the type of guitar you want to be your primary instrument. If you want to be an electric guitar player, start on electric guitar. There’s no good reason to do it any other way.

    I’m sure learning classical would help anyone’s playing, I just don’t care for classical music. To me music should be fun, not a task, so I’m not going to study any style that I do not like. So there’s my advice, if you enjoy classical guitar then give it a try, if not don’t do it just because the instructor says so.
