oh, btw, if you can manage to find a reasonably priced nylon string acoustic, then buy it. learning on an electric can be difficult, though it is not impossible. but, the neck of an electric guitar is a lot smaller for your hand to grab hold at this stage in your playing. a nylon string acoustic has a bigger neck, allowing you to grab hold of the chords a lot easier. this will also prevent your fingers from going ' all over the place' as well as increasing your finger strength.
