I'm somehow opposite ot everybody else here :-) I've started out with a Nylon string learning classic & spanish stuff, then I switched to Electric and taught myself (with the help of Books/Tabs/Net Stuff/etc.) ... I still like to play both, but I feel that Acoustic guitars generaly gives you very limited options compared to Elec. , and I've found out that the elec. guitar is the instrument I usualy like to express myself with, mostly bec. it's very unnique & versatile.
