I learned to play on acoustic, but it wasn't long before I was playing nearly exclusively on electric.

i first got an acoustic. it was alright but it had a really wide neck, so it was quite difficult to make my noob fingers to pull a chord :P
i think electric suits me better... so it really depends on the person i guess...

I've never owned an acoustic and have only played them maybe 3 times. They feel foreign in my hands.

I started on a cheap electric. Learned some metallica and stopped learning other peoples songs. It took me 15 years to finally buy an acoustic, and as of Saturday night my acoustic is dead. The head snapped off in my hands in a twang of spiritual introspection. Now, i need another one, cause i've grown very partial to playing acoustic. It's a different beast than electric, but they compliment eachother so well. But , as with any instrument. learn to play it and make yourself better at whatever it is you do.

I started on acoustic. It's advantageous if you start acoustic because the string action is usually higher, which exercises your fingers better and wll get you used to high-action guitars. Then when you play an electric it should be a breeze. As said above, you can hear the difference better too

yeah acoustics only more difficult in that the actions higher, neck is usually thicker and strings heavier... I learnt on electric and when i got my acoustic kept getting strain injuries. I prefer to play electric though, it's much more FUN.

It's better to learn on electric, especially if you'll end up playing it later. It's better for access to the higher frets and the neck is much thinner than an acoustic.

However it's better finger exercise with a thicker neck and larger frets. If you start on an electric, get good, and then try an acoustic it would be unusually awkward to play

When I think of acoustic guitars I think of those big chunky ones with nylon strings. Those are terrible to learn on.

I started on electric and had no problem transitioning over to acoustic, as I'm sure is the same for most people.
