This guitar consists of steel strings on a same type of base as the classical guitar. I always thought that acoustical guitar was only for country music. I never knew that other types of contemporary music also used the electrical guitar until I saw a band play on television. I always thought that all the new musicians, except country singers, used electrical guitar since there can be so many modifications possible to the sound the guitar makes which opens up many doors. Having a thinner neck than its classical brother, the acoustic guitar is much easier to play chords.
Chords are multiple notes played in harmony to make a certain tone.
Chords led me to learn more contemporary songs from blues to modern rock. Basically, most of the contemporary songs played with guitar are all similar since they all consist of playing a few chords for the whole song. After playing the acoustical guitar, I became exposed to the myriad of music styles that exists. I had a music style for every mood. When I was happy, I'd listen to dance or hip-hop music to magnify my joy.
