@thelinuxcast Generally I’d recommend an acoustic if you are first starting out - keeping gear simple, portable and comfortable is important. Of course, the type of music you want to learn should weigh into that too. Electrics can be fun, but the equipment prices add up (amp, cables, pedals eventually, headphones if you have to keep it quiet). On a budget or not, I highly recommend JustinGuitar.com where (most) lessons are free and the teacher is top notch.
