The sounds of the Acoustic guitar do something to sooth the soul.
The acoustic guitar produces sound by transmitting the vibration of the strings through the air rather than through electric amplification.
That's interesting. I take mine with me when I travel since I don't need an amp.
The modern guitar shaped instruments only started to appear in the renaissance era.
Did they use them for heavy jam sessions in the enaissance era?
Unfortunately not, the first small guitar-like instrument was called a gittern and is similar to a lute.

Lute
A lute () is any plucked string instrument with a neck (either fretted or unfretted) and a deep round back enclosing a hollow cavity, usually with a sound hole or opening in the body. More specifically, the term "lute" can refer to an instrument from the family of European lutes. The term also refers generally to any string instrument having the strings running in a plane parallel to the sound table (in the Hornbostel–Sachs system). The strings are attached to pegs or posts at
Acoustic guitar
An acoustic guitar is a guitar that produces sound acoustically by transmitting the vibration of the strings to the air—as opposed to relying on electronic amplification (see electric guitar). The sound waves from the strings of an acoustic guitar resonate through the guitar's body, creating sound. This typically involves the use of a sound board and a sound box to strengthen the vibrations of the strings. In standard tuning the guitar's six strings are tuned (low to high) E A D G B E.
