Jorge, I also like that the acoustic is more portable and I don’t have to carry an amp with me (I have an electric-acoustic, so I have the choice of playing it as-is or amplifying the sound).
Two of my fretting fingers are crooked. It’s very difficult for me to make the stretch that requires skipping a fret and still get a decently clear sound out of my instrument.
I will confess that when I get frustrated, I put the guitar down for a while and pick up one of my ukuleles (either the concert or barritone) and play them for awhile. The nylon strings are much easier to press and I feel somewhat accomplished when I can create a recognizable tune. After about 15 minutes of playing one of those, I go back to the guitar and play it/them. I usually do better then. I think the ukulele provides and warm-up and a confidence builder for the guitar…for me, at least.
