I play the acoustic guitar, if you didn't know it's different from the electric because it transmits the vibration of the strings to the air rather than to an amplifier.
the acoustic guitar it is often used in which genre of music?
Well I believe it can be used in a lot of genres, like rock, classical, blues, jazz, folk rock, and many others.
do you play the guitar professionally?
I don't, just casually. I like to play just with finger picking, which is where you pluck the strings using only your fingers and not with an actual picking tool, it's a lot of fun.
that is a nice way to play it but does it hurt your fingers?
Using a single thumb pick with the bare fingers is similar to hybrid picking. Another mixed technique is to play different passages with a plectrum or fingerstyle, "palming" the plectrum when not in use.
Comparison of plectrum and finger picking techniques.
The pros of each guitar picking style are indirectly correlated to the cons of the other.

- A pick isn’t necessary.
- It is easier to play non-adjacent strings at the same time
considered part of the instrument's tone. If the clean signal from a guitar amplifier or pre-amplifier is captured directly (i.e., before it is sent to a speaker cabinet) it will very often be rather brittle and thin, with no "resonant" depth, particularly if the guitar signal is from a string pickup (i.e., the type used in a solid-body electric guitar). Vibration pickups, or microphone pickups, as used in many hollow body electro-acoustic guitars, aren't as strongly affected
