There are some major differences in the two types of guitar.
Electric guitars are typically made of solid wood and the sound produced by the guitar strings is amplified by electricity. Various types of signal processors can be used between the guitar and the amplifier to create unique sounds. The most commonly used type is the steel string guitar, which many rock bands play during acoustical jams. Introduced back in the baroque era, around 1600, it is the first acoustic guitar ever to be played. Frets on the baroque guitar were also fabricated with animal gut, and they were tied to the neck of the instrument. They are also known as the Spanish guitar. This is an excellent way to learn how to play the guitar, and gives beginners a great foundation for learning the instrument. The classical guitar is unique from a typical acoustic guitar due to the nylon strings used. Also, players hold the classical guitar in a unique position: the left leg is raised onto a footstool, and the guitar is positioned on this leg (steel string guitarists typically use the right leg).
It is imperative to mention some of the most profound classical guitar players when talking about the classical acoustic guitar. He built a great classical repertoire and gave the classical guitar a place in concert halls around the world. A couple of years later he held his first professional concert in Madrid, where he displayed his impeccable talent playing transcriptions of Francisco Tarrega, and works by Johann Sebastian Bach. He single-handedly managed to revive the acoustic guitar and gave it a well deserved place in concert halls.
If you are interested in the masters of classical acoustic guitar, you should be sure to check out the works of Mauro Giuliani, Augustin Barrios, Fernando Carulli, Matteo Carcassi, and Fernando Sor just to name a few.
