if i learn classical guitar, could i also play acoustic guitar?
i bought a classical guitar but i really want to play acoustic too in the future, so if i learn how to play classical, could i play acoustic too?
You absolutely can play acoustic guitar as well. The chords and everything you will learn while playing classical guitar hold true on the acoustic guitar. However, there are a few key differences to be aware of that will not cause you trouble, but you should at least be aware of. First, classical guitars use nylon strings, as I’m sure you know at this point since you have bought yours already. Because of this, classical guitars are a finger-plucking instrument. You do not generally use a pick when playing the classical guitar. The strings are also easier to press and get used to when learning guitar. When you eventually get an acoustic guitar, you’ll notice that the strings may be a little more difficult than what you are used to playing. This is because acoustic guitars use steel strings. You will be able to experiment with using a pick at this point. It goes without saying that the sounds will be very different between the guitars. You will have more versatility with the acoustic guitar, and will be able to play a range from rock to country to pop music depending on your preference.
The other thing to note is that the fret board is a little wider on classical guitars generally. At the point you invest in a second guitar, I’m sure you’ll be pretty practiced on the guitar so switching over to a smaller fret board will be a fairly easy matter to figure out. It shouldn’t cause you much grief, just time in getting comfortable with the feel of a new guitar.
There really shouldn’t be many problems making the switch between classical and acoustic guitars. They are really very similar.
Duhh….. classical is harder than acoustic…. you can play classical on an acoustic, and acoustic on a classical guitar, they are basically the same

Absolutely! It’s the same chords and notes no matter what guitar! But it’s beat I’d you start with acoustic then move to classical! Just because acoustic is easier and the sound of acoustic is easier to catch! Have fun playing!(:
