But, if you really want to master technique(and really become a really, really good guitarist), I'd recommend starting off with Acoustic. If you can master the basics of Acoustic(scales, chords, strumming etc.) it'll make Electric that much easier to master. Be warned, though, that unless you find some music which interests you that involves the Acoustic, you could get burned out pretty quickly. This happened to me. Luckily, I found some stuff that interested me and that got me back into.

"To implement master techniques one must aquire a classical guitar, learn to finger pick, and like classical music" as my old music teacher would say.

but acoustic guitars are better for beginners because it limits the chance of you being trapped by the distortion and other effects that the electric guitar has to offer.
