Learning to Play Guitar
thebrosef:
Well what I've been told is that learning on an electric guitar first would build poor habits, and if I end up really liking the guitar (this is a strong possibility) then I would eventually pick up the other kind (acoustic or electric depending on what I start with). I wouldn't want to be set really far back if I were to pick up the acoustic at a later date. Should I be concerned?
Thrillho:
I would always suggest starting on acoustic because it makes your fingers stronger, makes your strumming stronger and it's a lot easier from acoustic to electric than it is going from electric to acoustic. Plus, you're freed up if you want to get creative quicker. There aren't a great deal of classic songs written with just a singer and his heavy metal guitar, but there are thousands of one-man-and-his-strummer.

I'm working on the former. Someone on here commissioned a one man black metal album with a baseball theme.
Spluff:
I've honestly never had any problems transferring across from acoustic to electric or vise versa. Unless your trying to, say, sweep or shred on an acoustic - but if you're just starting that won't be a problem for a long long time (if ever).
Thrillho:
Lucky for some, but playing acoustic and playing electric are very different things. Sometimes having an instinct for it means you don't notice the differences and nuances when you do it, but they really are different.
