Back - The basic skills of guitar playing are transferable from electric guitar to Classical / Spanish guitar. Also, there are now Electro-Acoustic guitars that offer an acoustic instrument with an inbuilt pickup and preamp that can be connected to an effects board, amplifier and/or studio mixing desk.

Please note that many Electro-Acoustic guitars have an onboard battery to power the electronics for preamp and tuner. These electronics are turned ON when the plug is inserted into the guitar socket and turned OFF when it is removed. Leaving the plug connected when you are not playing the guitar e.g. over night then the electronics are ON and the battery is discharging.

Although my prime instrument is electric classic rock, students are welcome to bring their Classical / Spanish.

Although the word Classical is a style of playing it is often used to describe a Spanish guitar.
