    Acoustic.

    It’s sexier. Sounds better. Period.

    first learn acoustics, then once you’re pretty familiar learn electric and you can practice on both. its kinda the same. so i think u should learn acoustics first cuz its easier to learn.

    So it seems the main thing you want to do is strum.

    If you get an acoustic guitar, you can learn to strum chords easily, and then if you want an electric guitar later you can just change because it’s the same, just electric, lol. You can just learn chord symbols rather than having to read actual music with this as well.

    Classical guitar is different, because you learn complex fingerings & music reading rather just strumming chords. Perhaps watch this video to see what I mean and if you prefer it.

    Learning on an acoustic is not only wise, but beneficial to you in the long run of developing guitar expertise. If you can move beyond the sore fingertips until the calluses arrive you will be better equipped to build your talent.

    You don’t need the unnecessary baggage of an amplifier, cords, stomp boxes, etc., while in the learning stages. With an acoustic, you can take it and practice just about anywhere you wish, provided you’re not out in the cold and the rain.

    Acoustic is going to give you the best all around versitility of the three. It’s also going to simplify your learning as your not dealing with amps, effects boxes and stuff like that which you encounter with electrics.

    With an acoustic all you need is a tuner and your set. You can take it anywhere. You can play almost any kind of music on an acoustic as well. Personally I like to write on an acoustic as it focuses me on the melody rather than the effects. Then I’ll move songs over to the electric and add effects and all the gimicks.
