Answer
I echo Lester G's reply and add a bit more to your question. An acoustic guitar will test your motivation and drive to continue playing. Once the calluses arrive your progress will be marked for the better if you continue.
As Lester G has said, get a flat-top acoustic to begin playing. Alongside that recommendation, I suggest putting medium-gauge strings on it because they will help you get the calluses you must have. Putting lights or super-light gauges on an acoustic diminishes the projection you will want. Be determined to first get the calluses and then focus strongly on chords and their progressions, the Chromatic Scale for chords and notes, and learn how to read sheet music for the guitar. Do not rely upon tablature to play complete songs. Tablature is good for short riffs and turnarounds, but they are most troublesome in playing the entire piece.
Above all, take lessons if you can. Such a decision will pay off in the long run.

I want to learn to play guitar. I need opinions from musicians as to which is better to learn (easier) an electric or an acoustic guitar? Thanks!
Answer
Most definitely the electric....just the chords and the progression. i started with an acoustic like an idiot but...yea
There are a lot of similarities between the electric and acoustic guitar; they each have advantages and disadvantages to the beginner. It is easier to learn to finger pick on an acoustic. Barre chords and power chords are easier to learn on an electric. Because of the nature of the acoustic guitar, most people learn how to strum them but rarely take the time to explore the many styles and sounds that it is capable of. Because of the nature of the electric guitar, many beginners learn power chords and then little else. And when the acoustic player gets his first electric, he tends to play it like an acoustic. And vice versa.
Which is "better?" If you say right off the bat that you want to learn electric, I would tell you that electric is better for you. Is this necessarily true? No. But since this is where your interests currently lie, it is true for you.
What you learn from the guitar, or anything, is usually a combination of what you want and whether or not what you discover on the way interests you enough to take a detour. If you really want to learn a riff or a solo and you learn it, will you also take the time to figure out how you can use what you learn in another song or in a different style? Only if it interests you to do so.
It used to be that people started out with acoustic guitars mostly because it was expensive to get an electric guitar (and an amplifier and everything else that you'd need). That is not the case these days. If you want to play electric and you can get yourself a good set up, then by all means do so.
Because here's the fun thing - if you choose the electric guitar now, there's no reason why you won't find yourself with an acoustic guitar somewhere down the road. I'd almost guarantee that this will happen.
