Can some one also recomend a electric guitar starter kit, I have the Ibanez jumpstart JS40 in my mind. I want to play the guitar as a hobby not profession.

Sure you can learn to play electric if you don't know how to play acoustic. It's actually better to learn electric first because it's not as harsh on your fingers when you're learning to play. As for starter kits, it all depends on personal preference but I will tell you that Ibanez makes very good guitars. Check out the link below to see some of the best deals on starter kits. This website also has a whole bunch of instructional books, videos, and DVDs on how to learn to play guitar (and I recommend teaching yourself over taking lessons -- waste of money and time basically).

Start on what you want to play. What music are you into? If you're a metal head then you're not going to go out and buy an acoustic because you may get bored with it. That being said if you're into Neil Young etc you're going to prefer the softer more warm tone of an acoustic. But it doesn't matter either way as anything can be played on either. You have to think about what you want to play, its very important when you first begin otherwise you loose interest ;) I started on an Electric and I am no different of someone who started on Acoustic, I can play both fine as most people can. But it does just come down to user preference. Nether Electric nor Acoustic are going to make you a better player in the long run and anyone that tells you otherwise is just biased.

Start with acoustic, after learning on an acoustic, playing the electric will be a toy...

you'll learn the same way regardless. I would suggest learning on acoustic. the sound is more clear and would be better to hear your mistakes on.

Sure can! The electric will hide your mistakes more, though. I'd go with both!
Have fun!
