I like an acoustic because it's one piece of equipment.  It's simple. ...and it's fun to play with other people with acoustics around a campfire or just hanging out, entertaining friends. As someone mentioned in a previous post, it's more personal and intimate.

As mentioned in previous posts....practice, practice, practice. Something that worked for me was playing 2 chords in a progression back to back, over and over again, till I got it right. Practice strumming the chords, but if you get one wrong, don't stop playing...just fix your finger positions in the middle of it. Keep doin that, and eventually your aim will be right on and you'll stop missing. If you stop when you hit a wrong string, and start over, you're not really making any progress. It can be a slow, painstaking, and sometimes disheartening process, but don't lose faith. It's effective, and it will make things come more naturally in the future. Hope this helps...
