For most people, it is recommended to start learning guitar on an acoustic guitar, specifically a steel-string acoustic. These guitars are typically more physically demanding to play, so building up the finger strength and callouses early on will make it easier to transition to other types of guitars later. Also, acoustic guitars don’t require external amplification, so they are perfect for practicing at home.

However, if your goal is to learn a particular style such as heavy metal or rock, you might prefer to start on an electric guitar. The thinner neck and lower action of electric guitars can make them more comfortable to play for beginners compared to acoustic guitars. It is also easier to find online tutorials and teachers specializing in these specific styles for electric guitar.

In the end, the choice of which guitar to learn first often depends on your goals, interests, and comfort.
