You will get your fingers in better shape playin an acoustic. But as far as reasing notes goes, you will want to look into a popular method called tablature. It is basically a diagram of 6 lines, (6 strings) with a number on it, the number being the fret on the guitar. I learned this way and everyone I know learned this way if not purely by ear. Get some guitar magazines and you will see. It is easy-peezy to read. But a tyical acoustic guitar will make you stretch your fingers more than a typical electric. I know several guitarists would warm up with an acoustic before grabbing the electric. Very similar to swinging a bat with a donut on it before you step to the plate. Either way, get a magazine, learn to read the tablature and enjoy playing the guitar.
