Well a lot of people prefer Acoustic guitar and to start with since your fingers will harden quicker but I started with electric and Im perfectly fine. I also like that sort of music- like Avenged Sevenfold, Guns N' Roses and other rock/metal bands. So it can also affect on what music you like/ like to play.

Which is the better guitar semi electric or acoustic?
This is what I experienced from my friend and I and we both play guitar. She plays electric and acoustic guitar (She likes acoustic the most). I play acoustic and its easier beginning with it (you can dominate electric guitar after playing the acoustic). But I think it would be better to start out with a basic acoustic guitar. An electric guitar would be the next level, for people who can afford one, and can play an acoustic. An electric guitar is also hard to carry(They're made of metal and plastic)and aren't cheap enough to get rid of or repair. The acoustic guitar isn't only just used for country( i hate country music... but i play acoustic!)it can be used for all kinds of things that you would probably want to know. Lets face the facts, you don't usually see an electric guitar player doing a solo on their porch. Electric guitar is better with more equipment and other people playing drums, e.t.c. But it just looks cool and has more varieties of sounds (with gear). So unless you are a hard-core rocker, or just think electric's better and cooler and want to take on these problems, go with the electric.

Is acostic or electric guitar good?
If your asking which is better I would say an acoustic guitar. Because you don't have to buy an amplifier or anything like that you can just start playing and practicing right away.
You have never played guitar and no-one in your family has but want to get a guitar what guitar should you get?
You should start getting lessons, because there is no use of getting one if you cannot play it. In my opinion, I guess an acoustic guitar is better. Electric guitars are too expensive.
Is it harder to learn on an acoustic guitar?
I think it doesn't matter if you learn on an acoustic guitar or an electric guitar. One thing to know is that steel strings are hard on your fingers until the ends of your fingers start to toughen up, so sometimes it is an advantage to start off learning on a nylon string acoustic guitar. But it doesn't really matter, use what ever guitar you have but it is hard at the start and you need to persevere.
What is a good guitar to start out with?
I started out with a very cheap guitar but nowadays you can get better quality instruments for cheap. I now play a Norman B18 acoustic guitar and I recommend it as I find it is a nice balance of price versus quality.
Did Angus young start on a acoustic guitar?
I don't believe so. He always started out on an electric guitar. His first guitar, however, was a banjo. He just restringed it to sound like a guitar.
What is the difference between an acoustic guitar and an electric guitar?
There are many differences:An electric guitar can be plugged into an amp, while an acoustic guitar can't.An acoustic guitar has a completely different sound. It produces it sound through natural sound amplification while an electric guitar uses electronic pick-ups as well as an electronic amplifier to produce its sound.Acoustic guitars are always hollow, while the majority of electric guitars are solid.An acoustic guitar is much more portable because it is lighter and doesn't need a heavy amp to produce sound.Acoustic guitars are generally larger in size. They require a larger body to produce their amplified sound. The sound the acoustic guitar produces is much more dependent on the body size, types of wood used and shape of the body than the electric guitar is.Electric guitars are generally designed with slimmer necks/bodies and have easier access to higher frets.Also, if you want an acoustic sound while also being able to make it louder, you can attach a pick-up to it to make an electric-acoustic guitar or you can just buy an electric-acoustic guitar from the start.
Can you start out with an electric guitar or an acoustic guitar?
electric for two main reasons: easier to play you can get thinner strings which are easier on your fingers , the necks tend to be thinner as well so if you don't have big hands this makes things easier to start. You can lower the strings closer to the neck very easily on an electric as well. they are also quieter if you live in an apartment or noise is an issue lets face it none of us are Van Halen or Yngwie Malmsteen good the first year or two learn guitar tabliture fast and scales really do help
What type of guitar do you start with?
most people start with a acoustic guitar because it is easier
What type of guitar is convenient for a beginner to play?
As a guitarist I would think that beginners should start with an acoustic guitar. However this is all to taste. It may be easier with an electric if you are that type of person!
Should you start on electric or electric guitar?
I'm guessing you mean electric or acoustic. A lot of people will tell you that you should start on an acoustic, but I disagree. I think that you should start to learn which one you would like to play, and would enjoy playing more. It would keep you interested more, and you will find it easier to improve. I have only ever played electric, and I think if I'd started by buying an acoustic, I would have given up not long after starting.
