I would say that it makes your timing a hell of a lot better. Coz I play a little drums, n it has made my timing a lot better.

I don't see why it would.

You'd already have a great knowledge of rhythm and timing from your drumming, which is a huge bonus when learning guitar.

A bunch of famous guitarists started out playing drums, and they all said it helped their timing a lot. For example, Eddie van Halen used to play drums and his brother Alex played guitar. Then at some point they switched. And I mean, c'mon, Eddie van Halen. Also, I think Jack White said he started out as a drummer. And...that's all I can think of, really.

and if you really want to be cool, play percussive acoustic. Ive been working on that for awhile now.

My favorite style of acoustic guitar... there is a local guy named Michael Kelsey that I go watch every chance I get.. he gets nuts with it. He loops a lot...

I've been playing "percussive acoustic"/"slap acoustic" for a few years now... ever since I started listening to Jack Johnson, Jason Mraz, and John Mayer, and Michael Kelsey... BTW... Michael Kelsey won Guitar Centers Guitarmageddon 2 years ago with an acoustic guitar. Google him, he has a website and you can watch some clips of him... and check out his music.

Speaking of percussive acoustic.
