There's nothing better than scenes in Woody Allen movies, where just about anyone can sit down at the piano and play old standards. I've always thought that was lovely and such a party treat. I can guarantee that if you bought any old piano, had it tuned and hired a teacher, you'd be playing and enjoying yourself in no time. Sincerely. |

Not to hijack your thread htis, but youtube Guthrie Govan - Along the Tracks.
I think it's something you might appreciate. |

Yes, lighter strings and a lower action might lead to quicker results. I can also say from personal experience that it fosters bad habits. Futhermore, now that I play my electric in B standard with 12-56 strings, the time I spent on the acoustic is invaluable. Switching from 8's or 9's to these would be very hard to do simply from a finger wear/fatigue standpoint. They're chunky. And my youngest daughter had a strabismus. She had to wear a path over her eye for 2 years. How dare you! |

I learned on an electric with 8's and moved on to acoustic later. BTW - I'm sorry about your daughter's strabismus, (I had to look that up). I hope she's better now. |

I would start on an acoustic because I think it teaches better technique if and when she chooses to pursue it further, say classical guitar in college. The last thing I want is for her guitar playing to turn out like mine! |
