All sound is energy no matter what energy source makes it. The sound waves from your guitar is the same type of energy as from your mouth/voice or loudspeaker. Sound-waves need some 'matter/medium' to travel through. A few examples could be the air, wood, concrete or metals for that matter.

This means that sound cant travel through a absolute vacuum (Like in space).

Sound will go faster or slower through different materials and is why your voice pitches up when talking through helium gas instead of breathable air.

sound level is a logarithmic measure of the effective sound pressure of a sound relative to a reference value. It is measured in decibels (dB) above a standard reference level. The commonly used "zero" reference sound pressure in air is 20 µPa RMS, which is usually considered the threshold of human hearing (at 1 kHz).

If you measure the voltage and current running through a loudspeakers coil you can calculate the power consumption in watt (watt=volt*amperes) drawn from your amplifier. If you measure the sound energy leaving the speaker, you'll see that it is a bit lower than the energy drawn by the coil. The lost energy is disposed as heat (due to friction/resistance) in the metal and moving parts of the speaker. This is also called the power factor. (cosφ)

What tyes of energy are used to play an electrical guitar?

Well, It depends what type of guitar you are talking about. An acoustic guitar's strings vibrate into the body(sound box) of the guitar and the vibrations resonate in there and escape through the hole. An electric guitar however, has it's strings vibrate and magnetic coils pick up the vibrations and convert them into electrical power, through a chord, and into the amplifier. Then Bon Scott yelled "Let there be guitar!..."


Which form of energy is formed when a guitar string vibrates?

Kinetic energy, as it moves.
