I just went to my local pawn shop and found a Jay Turser for about $90. I made sure it had a straight neck and plopped a new set of strings on it for when I work out of town. If it gets damaged or stolen… WHO CARES!!! At least I can keep on jamming 😉

Started out on electric many years ago, haven’t stopped playin’ with distortion yet. But I am definitely more confident on acoustic these days due to the lessens learned here.

And… as posted by @AttyTJ… electric is easier to fret due to generally smaller gauge strings and lower action. So what you learn here on acoustic can really help with finger strength and dexterity for electric as well (translation: more confidence in overall playing ability). 🤠

I love this website, been using it for about a year now, helps me figure out difficult chord shapes in songs I am studying. But the thing I absolutely love about it this tool is, not only the variety of potential chord names (which of course depends on the context), but also the ability to show the note intervals (degrees). Since guitar is so pattern oriented, the actual notes matter little if you know the root note and the degree positions, then you can make just about any chord on the fly.

Check out this really cool sounding E♭sus2(♭6) chord which resolves nicely into E♭7sus2. Jazzy stuff! The images shows the fingerings as note degrees.
