I think there's a different enjoyment from playing acoustic or electric guitar. With acoustic, it's kinda fun to just pick it up and play some song with 3 or 4 chords, or just play randomly. With electric, it's obviously better for playing leads/solos, and I've spent hours making up riffs on electric guitar. There are so many more techniques and tricks with electric too. If you can afford to replace parts like strings and pickups, it can sound really good for a long time, but my electric needs some upgrades before I get back into playing it as much as I used to.
My favorite guitarists are Frank Zappa, Chuck Schuldiner, Jerry Cantrell, and Steve Albini. What are yours?
