Heh I have been playing classical for 8 years(in music scool) and electrical for a year and a half now. I always wanted to play electrical but my parents said that I need to learn classical first, so I started and was very good at it(I won several world-level competitions in duo with another guitarist) so it stuck for 8 years when I realized that I am playing more because of my paretnts than my self and let it go. It just didn't feel right anymore. Also I didn't want to play only other people's material and somehow apply my mentors dynamics to playing, instead of my own view on the piece. I became so frustrated that I didn't touch guitar for two years and now I play electrical again. I know my theorie(6 years of formal theorie lessons) but need to grip new techniques on electrical. So that's my story.

As for classical vs. electrical I think, that electrical offers a wider angle of different sounds and is maybe a little less complicated when trying to get a good tone than classical. Classical also doesn't have the speed of electrical(except linear pieces as spanish tremolo and arpeggios), and is limited on one octave only(only twelve frets).
