No, an amplifier is not better than speakers. An amplifier and speakers serve different purposes in a sound system. An amplifier increases the power of a sound signal, while speakers convert the electrical signal into sound waves that we can hear. Both are necessary for a high-quality sound system.

Yes, it is possible to play electric guitar without knowing acoustic guitar. The technique and some fundamental knowledge may differ, but the musical theory and the physical act of playing the instrument are transferable skills. Many guitarists start with acoustic guitars to build finger strength and familiarize themselves with the instrument, but this is not a requirement. Some may find it easier to start with an electric guitar because of the lighter strings and smaller neck.
