your hands will developer strength faster with classical training, your best rockers all started with the Spanish classical disciplines. I would be the one to know, have been toiling with instruments 3 hours per day for 45 years or so (started at age 8 and now 52), you should work with percussion along with any instrument training because having a good rhythm/beat sense as you build skill levels will make your learning pace deliberate as well as far more enjoyable. and keep it up, you will never again have periods of boredom, or be a victim of Alzheimer's, because playing musical instruments is brain food, it melts the right and left sides together, giving you a deeper understanding correlation throughout the many facets of awareness you will encounter in life. The link below to originals and some rockers on myspace/andymarez are good examples of what fun composition can be, when maestro level, layered recordings along invented "genre achievements" can be reached.

start out with an acoustic. the strings are tougher to push down which will make ur fingers strong. so when u move to an electric it will be really easy to play. a lot of people that started on electrics cant even play good on acoustics. and
electric-acoustics are electric guitar but they sound and look like acoustics except for a little control panel on top so you can control the volume when u plug it into an amp. unless u plan on playing infront of a crowd with an amp just get a regular acoustic.

I hope you mean 2008. Start with an acoustic, or an electro-acoustic. This is an acoustic guitar with built in pickups so you can plug it in. You should be aware that it will hurt your fingers at first and you cannot have long, pretty nails on your left hand. Go to your local music shop, preferably with a friend who knowswhat they're talking about. Se what's on offer, and get your friend to play a few. Try holdind them yourself and push the strings down on tot he fret board to see how easy it is. You can do anything on an acoustic that you can do on an electric, except for whammy bar. Makes? Ovation, Takamine, Tanglewood. See what price range is available to you. Hope this helps

I would personally say get an acoustic guitar because the sound is much cleaner.
But with electric guitars you can add different sound effects.
An acoustic-electric guitar is an acoustic guitar that can be plugged into an amp.

as a guitarist, i would recommend starting off with accoustic so your fingers will get strong and calloused. also you need to learn the chords, and fretboard. Next acoustic/electric is an acoustic with pickups so you can plug into an amp. After getting the acoustic down then i would suggest an electric, plus with electric you are looking at more $$$ cuz of amps and other extra equip needed. hope this helps.

I play acoustic. My opinion would be to get an acoustic-electric. It would be better (I think) to learn on the acoustic. Then after you learn you can jam out with the electric. You can also buy a foot pedal for your guitar that gives it sooo many different sounds. Some of them probably like the artists you named. Good luck on learning! :-)

I would say acoustic since it sounds real nice when it is played. Electric is good if you want to rock out but that is all it is good for.

with an electric you need an amp or headset amp as well or you have to plug it into your computer.
acoustic electrics are not like electrics
