Your Classical Guitar Input Here

Playing classical guitar using an acoustic

Hi,
I was wondering if it's good idea to learn to play the classical way on an acoustic guitar if you haven't got a classical guitar; or would it be much better to buy a classical guitar, for speed and technique. Also I'm guessing the transition from classical to acoustic is easier than the other way around, in terms of the technique.
thanks

Hi M,

I believe it's better to get a classical guitar to play that type of music. It’s much harder to play classical on a steel string acoustic if only that your fingers will hurt more! :))

Seriously, you wouldn't use a screwdriver to hammer in a nail and vice-versa. Although it can be done I think it's wise to use the guitar for what is was designed for.

Hope this helps,
Kind regards,
