I'd go to YouTube and search for the different guitar 
comparisons/sounds, you'll likely find tons of stuff there. There is 
a definite difference between nylon and steel  string acoustic  and 
electric guitars. I played even a nylon string electric once,  I 
didn't care for it myself.

For two different sounds in songs you  may have heard before, the 
Alana Miles one is steel string acoustic lead, the other is nylon string:

I'm sure you can find YouTubes of folks just demoing the sounds 
without a song being played.
