Traditionally most people do start their journey to learn guitar
on an acoustic model. There are many reasons for this however it's
usually due to the fact that acoustic or nylon string guitars are a
cheaper investment to make in the early stages. This exposes the student
to a lesser risk in that they can find out for sure if they have some
talent for playing before spending a lot of money buying a decent
electric guitar and all of the other accessories which go with it such
as amplifiers and effects pedals.
There are students who start immediately on electric guitar and there's nothing actually wrong with that. Although acoustic and electric models are both obviously guitars there's a world of difference between how they actually feel to play. Just because someone is good on electric does not automatically mean they'll be as equally good on acoustic, in fact, the opposite is more often true. All confident electric guitar players should be able to play acoustic reasonably well however. For many, an acoustic type of guitar is seen as very earthy and real. It's the most authentic kind of guitar player you can be.
Most instructors would advise you to spend around six months to one year on acoustic before making the move to electric guitar. The advantage is that you'll learn your basic chords and strumming without there being any distractions from the various things associated with playing on electric guitars. Everything you learn on acoustic will transpose over to electric without problems and you'll have a much better foundation upon which to continue learning.
