I'll probably start with Acoustic, however I am open to suggestions on a good starter guitar, or should I go electric?

BTW, I'm interested in learning, John Cougar, Eric Clapton, classic rock style songs.

Electric is easier to play and you can do so much more with it. But just starting out acoustic is the way to go, you will be more likely to actually learn how to play than just tinker with all the cool gadgets.
