Learning About Acoustic Guitars
This would be more of a personal or first person account because classifying guitars has also confused me ever since I learned playing the guitar when I was in grade school in the late 1960s. To me then, they were just hollow boxes shaped like the number 8 that had 6 strings that could make music that appealed to me. I didn't own one then but my older brother did. Eventually, I learned playing the guitar, I think even well than my brother did. Anyway, I had the opportunity to play guitar with a group and a little on a TV show.
Now, common classical and Spanish guitars are being referred to as Acoustic guitars! To my thinking they could have put in some hi-tech materials for the new name acoustic. No matter how I looked into these modern day guitars, they are still made of wood, maybe some with synthetic material or special plastic! Nothing was really new to me. After some time, with the resurgence of revivals, acoustic guitar was just a new moniker for a classical or a Spanish guitar. That was it about learning acoustic guitars. Still the same guitars, maybe just some new materials to used to construct them.
In choosing or looking for acoustic guitars we must first know the type or genre of music we want to play often. Folk songs just like in the 70s sound better with classical guitars that have nylon strings. Maybe a little change some pitch if the 6th down to the 3rd strings would now be bass strings. Nylon strings have lesser "twang" in the sound compared to a more pronounced "twang" sound produced by metal strings. Good quality guitars will not have a noticeable bulge where the strings are anchored resulting from the pull of the adjusting mechanism of the guitar strings. Also the body and neck of the guitar should not have the slightest curvature because of tension applied by the strings. A light curve would change the guitar tune frequently, especially with frequent use and strumming. Learning acoustic guitars will give better results when it comes to sound production. Quality guitars produce quality sounds.
Acoustic guitars should not be subjected to harsh or excessive strong strums compared to what could be done with electric guitars. Electric guitars are heavier because of their sturdier construction. Electric guitars tend to put more strain on the strings than to its construction. Acoustic guitars are like "love" guitars that should be handled gently. Also they are used more when for playing guitar love songs. Many bands use the acoustic guitar for mellow music or love songs that they compose.
Learning acoustic guitars will lead to extra care of the instrument. It does not need electric current to play and are usually resorted to when electric power is not available. Even just the simple strum of it relieves some tension. The entertainment and pleasure it provides when nothing else is available could be simply said as 'the sound of music'.
