Hi, Dave! I went to local library before dinner this afternoon with my stick guitar (see the photo below). This guitar is quiet but I am ok to sing with it and practice with it.
A gentleman came to me and talked that he used to have such stick guitar for practice. He said to me that it did not sound good. We need to good sound to practice. I told and taught him that if you were very patience to practice with it you can hear the sound. Especially bass strings are hard to hear but we can if we practice. He said thank you very much and went away. Another gentleman came to me soon after him and asked me "Do you know who he is?". I said I did not know. He is the first violin in Kyoto Philharmonic Orchestra. I said "Oh my god! I should not teach him."
Yes we need good sound to practice.
