Your concern while playing an acoustic guitar should be more on control, and a finesse that expresses your true feelings, rather than speed. While it is nice to have speed, accuracy and control will go further in your self expression. Acoustic guitar playing is done more with a finger picking style or rather than playing with a pick.
There are two types of acoustic guitars, one is a classical guitar which has a wider neck and employs the use of nylon strings, the other is an acoustic electric guitar that has a smaller neck while using steel strings. This guitar normally has a pickup in the bridge and an equalizer to control the sound that uses a 9v batt. When plugged into an amplifier you get a guitar sound that is different than that of an electric guitar. This type acoustic guitar can be played with or without an amplifier to give you versatility.
