Anything you like, the guitar i got now is from this site
http://www.rondomusic.com/Any cheap guitar and amp will do to start out with, that site has a guitar//amp//tuner//video package for like 100$
Anyhow...
My first amp was a crate similar to
http://www.musiciansfriend.com/product/Crate-GTD15R-Guitar-Amplifier-with-Reverb-?sku=480061but for learning just get cheap stuff and if you play alot and want something more then wait till birthday or a holiday
Also...
Someone else suggested a "folk" guitar which i am guessing they mean acoustic, they are good to learn on also because harder to push strings down so trains fingers and also you dont hear mistakes as much as on electric which is amped up and its very blatant when you make a mistake, so they aren't a bad idea for a starting guitarist.
Goodluck bro with whatever you get. you should learn how to read tabs once you get a guitar, pm me if you want me to show you since its quite easy and helpful to learn.
