The same thing except one is electric and one is acoustic.

I started on the electric and I’m doing OK. The only reason people go acoustic first is because you learn all the chords and strumming first and it is a little easier to learn.
Acoustic guitar requires a little more tension on the frets so that helps you when you get to electric too. They require different skills, but if you want to skip acoustic, go for it.

Yeah you can start with what ever you want – no harm done. I started off with electric and everynow and then i play a bit of acoustic. A lot of the time you’ll find that electic guitars have thinner necks than acoustic guitars, a thinner neck is easier to play for begginers.
A good idea some people try is to start off by perchasing a relatively cheep accoustic guitar to practise with and get the feel of the guitar, and ultimatly decide if the guitar is right for you. Then, if you decide it is, you can move on to elecectric.
True the type of guitar you use should depend on the song your playing, but its not much of an issue when you first start – chances are your not planning on doing any gigs some time soon, so either guitar is fine for practising and just casual playing.

Yes. All you have to do if you want to stick with the acoustic teachers is bring your electric. They will play their acoustic and you will play your electric while you learn. If someone has a problem with that find another teacher.

Okay look.
Back in the sixties, there was this big boom of guitar players. They all wanted to be like the beatles. My gram said the ones who learned from the acoustic stuck with it, and eventually went on to kick *** with electric. The ones who started with electric, crashed and burned usually.
Also, i started with acoustic, now i’m on electric, and I play punk type stuff. my two other friedns started with electric and haven’t picked up a guitar for two years.
Start with acoustic, play it for a few months, then get electric. It’ll be better.

The thing about an electric is being able to keep the strings your not using muted, so the ones you are using don’t sound like crap, or feed back on you. I started on electric, and i think if that’s what you want to play i’d start out on one. Then if you want to try acoustic it’ll be a piece of cake.

I learned on acoustic then got an electric later. I think that works best. Although, if you don’t even like acoustic music, just go with electric. Play what you like so you’ll be sure to stick with it. That’s the important thing really. It doesn’t do you any good to buy an acoustic and then quit in 2 months because you aren’t enjoying it.

Yes, you can. I started on an electric.
But starting on an acoustic will help build up more finger strength when you are beginning, because they use heavier strings.
A good starter acoustic would probably be cheaper than a good starter electric guitar also.
