classical guitar/acoustic guitar

if you start to learn classical guitar on a classical guitar, but then buy an acoustic guitar, can you still continue to learn classical but on your acoustic guitar?

You could but it's not ideal because it's so much harder to play classical on an acoustic guitar. The strings for one are so much harder to play classical on.

I think it's a case of "horses for courses" i.e. the right guitar for the right job. If I were you I'd use different guitars and switch between the two when you were changing styles.

Kind regards,
Trevor M.

Correction ...

No, the results weren't "interested"; perhaps the people who heard my playing weren't interested, either. LOL

Meant to write "interesting". Foiled again by my PDA's auto-complete feature!

Think that's hard? Try a 12-string!

I once tried playing classical guitar pieces on a twelve-string guitar, which uses steel strings, of course, not to mention a much narrower neck. Since the strings were in 6 pairs, I didn't need to alter my left-hand fingering; I simply treated each pair as a single string.

It was awkward indeed, but the results were interested, because baroque pieces made the instrument sound like a harpsichord! :)
