I learned on a Alvarez accoustic. I am REAAALLLYYYY glad that I started on an accoustic b/c I think that accoustics are slightly harder to play (for me anyway - I have little girl hands). Once I could get the chord changes down on an accoustic - then i could get used to an electric. Get something that is comfortable for you to hold, and that is not very expensive. I agree with Ding Dong - if you can tune it - you can learn how to form chords and do changes, play scales. Good luck! Oh, and PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE - practice until your hands cramp.
