Both styles of guitar are actually Acoustic guitars but Classical models have nylon strings whereas the more modern instruments, which are referred to as Acoustic guitars, have steel strings. The two types of strings feel and sound very different. Nylon strings are thicker and sound more mellow.

How do you change the strings on an acoustic guitar?
It's kind of the same procedure like electric in the head position. The only difference is you need to take of the string peg on the bridge to take of the strings. And then tie it the way you untied it.

Should I stick to one kind of music like rock, jazz etc. and play Guitar or play all kinds of songs?
Well, to be a versatile musician, you need to try a hand at all forms. But then play what makes you comfortable. Like if you see slash, he's a rock guitarist but then he's played blues with bb king as well. I hope this helps
