Author: I’ve been learning guitar for a while now and I just cannot figure out why in the heck an acoustic can’t be easy as an electric to fret, I don’t get it, I’m sure it’s got nothing to do with amps.
I actually find acoustic easier because of how light it is, even though they usaully have thicker necks (which I hate), but if its harder to play try thinner strings, lower the action, and/ or try a different acoustic, it might just be that one.
Good luck

acoustic strings are larger and take more to push down so its just harder

There is no difference. They both have six strings, produce music, and have the same anatomy.

I somehow have always played an acoustic in an electric guitar approach. Yes the guitar body needs time to get accustomed to since the body is bigger. It has nothing to do with amps although you will need seperate amps for acoustic and electric

Acoustic strings are generally thicker, and you can’t really do the same things on an acoustic that you can on an electric.. Like sliding up and down frets. It really starts to rip my calluses whenever I’ve been practicing on my electric for a couple hours then I go and do the same thing I did on my acoustic (which has the same gauge, by the way). But it’s a good exercise since you get a raw feel for what you’re playing.
