No it is not. In fact, you may want to start out playing an electric because the strings are a lot easier to push down. Plus once you get the basics down you can start adding in effects like distortion and chorus.
One idea you may want to consider is getting a semi hollow/hollow electric. That way you have the electric but you can still play it without the amp (if people are trying to sleep) and still hear it. It's also nice if you want to just grab it and go play with some buddies on the beach or by a fire.
Hope that helps!

No, I started on electric. I got an acoustic when I could afford it. Assuming you would be using standard tuning, the only difference playing-wise is that it requires a little more pressure to play a note or chord on an acoustic guitar versus an electric. The strings (EADGBE) and notes are the same on both.

Electric is easier to play than acoustic. They are essentially supposed to be tuned the same anyway, the only different is in production of the noise.

stay with the acoustic for now. once you're arranged to "improve" you may get a good electric powered guitar and pass the full "starter guitar and prepare amp" section. once you hear human beings communicate approximately electric powered guitar being greater handy to play, they're pertaining to pressing the strings. electric powered guitars have a tendency to apply lighter gauge (thinner) strings than acoustics. mild strings are greater handy to press and bend. Acoustic guitars believe in string stress to "acoustically" boost the notes, so as that they use heavier strings. you would be able to make your acoustic just about as common to play as an electric powered by using putting greater mild gauge acoustic strings on it. in the experience that your guitar hasn't had a clean set of strings at present (6 months or so) it desires a clean set besides. then you definately've a appropriate starter guitar: common to play and no hardship approximately electronics humming or tone settings. you may commit a hundred% of your interest to discovering to play the incredibly tool. ultimate of luck.

The lead guitarist for Limp biskit started on eletric.You could probably start on both I'd start on acoustic myself but you could try both.It's personal choice whatever you feel happy with.People keep trying to tell me how to play the drums and I've been playing for 7 years.The reason is they don't have my ears and have a certain sound in mind and what I do is not it.So rather than working with me they would rather be controling d*ck wads and work agianst me.So just do what makes you happy.

definatley not. in fact electric is usually considered easier due to teh lower action of the strings and the ease required to bend strick and the skinnier neck. they both have there place but i know studio musicians who are great with one and just ok with the other. its all how much you practice
