The main difference between playing an acoustic and electric guitar is how they feel. Acoustic guitars are bigger and bulkier and the strings can feel tight. Electric guitars are typically smaller and easier to hold and the strings feel softer under your fingers.

Can I play a guitar without learning chords?
You can start with simple strumming... But you'll have to learn chords .. start with the easy ones like A-minor, c-major etc... They are not difficult... Everything needs practice,, so does guitar playing.

Hi Vikash, Guitar is a good choice. I do have a couple of students with epilepsy however this doesn't effect the guitar playing. Find a teacher and get started. All the best :)

How should I protect my Guitar on a rainy day?
Don't keep your guitar open. You need some silica gel or a fast fret for preventing rust in strings. And always put the front way (fret board) towards the wall while you're not playing.
