gates of the west

Is it the fact that the acoustic guitar is harder to play? Or is it, that it has a more natural sound? Personally I just love what comes out of them (most of the time anyway)!

I love the fact that when I do this all the notes are in different places and I come up with new things that I would have in standard tuning.
