Can I use a classical guitar to take acoustic guitar lessons?
Question by H W: Can I use a classical guitar to take acoustic guitar lessons?
Hopefully guitargadfly will be able to give me some advice here…
I have been interested in learning the guitar for a few years now. I have finally made the effort to enrol on a guitar course at my local arts centre. My real love is the classical guitar, as I love spanish, mexican and other latin guitar sounds and I listen to older and modern guitar music often.
But the course I am booked on is an acoustic guitar course not a classical one. I still want to learn to play some pop or rock melodies so I figure any lesson on the basics would be good.
I need to buy a guitar for the course, having borrowed guitars while I learn some stuff on my own to see if I am indeed interested in really learning before i invested the time and money on a guitar and lessons.
I want to get a guitar that I can learn on easy and that will give me the option of playing both classical and pop/rock songs… do i get a classical?
Do you think I can do the acoustic course with a classical guitar?

Yes you can. Though when playing say rock, your guitar (being classical) will not sound as good.
