A guitar can make different sounds in many ways.
The most obvious has to do with changing the tuning of the instrument by turning the tuning pegs on the headstock. Standard tuning is E A D G B E, from the fattest strings down to the highest strings. Guitars can also be tuned other ways for different effects.
Many contemporary Guitarists will tune their guitars down one or more whole steps (e.g. D G C F A D). Acoustic guitarists will explore a wide range of different tunings, many of which will play a chord when all open strings are strummed.
Other ways that guitars can make different sounds have to do with what causes the string to vibrate. Fingers will make a different sound than you will get by using a pick (or plectrum). Some acoustic players will grow the fingernails of their "picking" hands out and use them as picks. Even picks can be used in various ways to get different sounds. The sharp tip of a pick will give a brighter tone than the rounded ends of the pick. Some guitarists may even use the edge of their plectrum to pick strings. A few guitarists have tried unusual objects to vibrate their strings, like coins, magnetic devices or violin bows. Each gives a different sound.
Plucking the string at different points will also give you a different sound. Picking very close to the bridge will produce a bright sound. Picking closer to the fretboard will give a warmer sound. Experiment with your own guitar.
