Johnny Horton is well-honored by your cover @KevinZ ! Lovely performance and liked the bit of yodeling I heard…👏🏼

Nice gift @campfire !
Classical guitars, in addition to the nylon strings, are usually made with a cedar top which produces a lovely rich, warm sound. Most acoustics have the steel strings (although there are nylon sting acoustics out there), and most often have spruce tops, which produce a brighter, louder, crisper sound.
The standard tuning is the same. The notes are the same. Classicals usually have a wider neck. So the only other difference is if you hold the classical in the traditional more upright position. Otherwise, they definitely play the same.
I agree with @Alfred . If you are going to use a pick on the classical, consider a clear pickguard.

Thank you @Dan D# ! I have you (and a few others) to thank for making suggestions on strumming, and on using a pick. Don’t feel comfortable strumming without one now!

Thanks @Marty69 !

Thank you @Loraine ! I started out with ukulele, which is all about strumming for a beginner. And I struggled with that for a while too.
