Electrical impedance is the total opposition to current flow. It includes both a resistive, or DC component and a reactive, or frequency-dependant component. Impedance is the same as resistance if the applied voltage is DC. For AC voltage, the reactive components opposition to current flow changes with frequency, so impedance is typically specified at a particular frequency.

Plug electric guitar to acoustic amplifier?

Yes, you can plug an electric guitar into an acoustic amplifier. But I would suggest that you don't play at a high volume for a long period of time of the difference in impedence - an acoustic guitar (and bass and vocals) is low impedence, where an electric guitar (& keyboard) is high impedence.
