Is there a difference between a classical guitar and an acoustic guitar?
I’m learning classical guitar right now..and will you learn strumming too? I just started like 2nd lesson?And can you apply what you have learnt to acoustic guitars? And is it easier to learn acoustic guitars than classical guitars? And can you apply whatever you learnt in classical to acoustic?
Yes there is a difference. Now saying that the main difference generally is that the strings instead of being steel are nylon and the neck of the guitar is generally wider than that of an acoustic. You can apply what you learn in classical to acoustic as well I would say that it is easier on the fingers to play a classical guitar, but I personally would choose an acoustic over a classical any day because of the fact I play more rock n roll and singer song writer stuff. It all really comes down to what you are comfortable with. There is no real trick to one style of guitar that will make it easier to play. The only real way you get better quickly is playing alot so your fingers build up strength, and also learning music as far as notes and chords go and where they are on your guitar this helps alot. It kinda lays down a road map for where you are going you know. Anyways good luck and remember practice makes better.
I believe that acoustic is easier than classical, but im not sure. Classical isnt meant for strumming, it will be hard on that guitar.
acoustic is meant for strumming and classical is for finger style picking.
You can totally apply what you learned in classical to acoustic. They just have different strings and a bit different sound.
Have fun learning

A classical guitar is an acoustic guitar. You’re referring to a steel string guitar. There are major differences. Classical guitars are primarily for classical music. If that’s not what you’re interested in then you should try a steel string guitar.

Classical guitar is an acoustic guitar with nylon strings, western guitar is an acoustic guitar with steel strings. They are both acoustic guitars.

The difference is the way they are constructed. The classical has a warmer sound because of the nylon strings. The flat top or arch top Acoustic has a brighter sound because of the steel strings and larger box. You can play both instruments the same way. The classical is better to learn on because of the nylon strings and wider fretboard. It’s just easier on the fingers and sounds nicer. Just don’t try to put steel strings on a classical guitar, it will lift the bridge off and sling it across the room.
