Is it hard to learn to play the electric guitar?

This will be my 1st time ever! People say to learn acoustic first? And should i start off with a cheap or beginner guitar? Because I found the perfect guitar!

If you have the ability to play the guitar, then learning either type of guitar won’t be too hard. It does take time to learn how to do it right, however.
Actually, since all guitars use the same notes and chords and techniques, the electric is actually a bit kinder to your fingers than an acoustic. Acoustics can be very stiff and hard to play, whereas the electric guitar has strings that are a bit more flexible and can be adjusted to get as close to the fretboard as they can without getting “fret buzz”
The other person is right about the tips of you fingers, they will get sore when you first start to play.

That guitar should be a good one to start with, it’s not a bad guitar at all.
