This is so much more better than any other acoustic and classical guitar difference video..

Great insight into a contrast we guitarists need to know. My experience is that classical expresses bass/melody lines with more distinction. But, bending notes and the corresponding available emotion is the realm of steel string. Your teaching is beyond good. I am an advanced player that really respects your teaching skills.

This was so well explained and interesting, really looking forward to this series!

I used to watch your videos years ago! Glad to see you still active! Helped my playing so much!

This is an AWESOME video and excellent explanation on classical and acoustic guitar!

Wow. I'm only a beginner but this is the best comparison I have ever seen on KZfaq. Trying to decide if I want to learn classical or just continue with steel string acoustic / folk music.

Ah I love classical guitar - it’s all I play now. But I pretty much took my acoustic skills and transferred them over. I’ve learned a lot more in the way of classical but it’ll be great to get some proper ‘tuition’ from someone I admire and trust.

I have classical guitar and a few steel string guitars. I love them all. One big advantage of classical is that my wife lets me play it softly while we watch TV. That's another hour or more a night of practice for me. Thanks for the great video. Don't tell Willie that nylon won't jangle.

I own both a classical and a steel-strung guitar. The classical guitar I own is of better quality and build than my acoustic guitar. That said, I feel classical guitars are a lot more responsive and better for articulation and expression. The melody can really shine in a classical guitar and the bass sounds rich and deep. The music sounds a lot more balanced in a classical guitar. But I do feel that there are things you can do with an acoustic guitar (like tapping, perhaps) which aren't quite suited to the classical guitar. There are cases where the acoustic guitar shines in a way the classical guitar cannot. Both instruments have their proper place, but the classical guitar wins out for me!

Thank you for taking your time to do this

Excellent. You've cleared all my doubts about them.

Awesome video. Thanks for this video, man!!

Very well presented; thank you for sharing.

Having bought and tried out a nylon string guitar, I'll probably never really buy or play a steel string again.

I needed this so much thanks dude

Great class as always, I have both kind of guitars, I’ve been playing my classical longer than I have done my acoustic or electric, mostly I like to use different instrument for different kind of music. Thanks for the clear explanation of the difference.

Woooahhh. You made it clear 👌. Superb. I want to play guitar soo smoothly like you 😬

Thank you, this helped me decide between classical and acoustic. And I appreciate that I could hear how they sound when played with fingertips as opposed to fingernails.

Thank you so much for the explanation!

Super presentation! Thank you. 🌷

Simply I'll say.Very neat and cleared guidence and diffrence b/w acoustic n classic, you made.

At your very best, thanks for this!

Looking forward to this series. I've heard it said that there is a cultural difference, that, for instance, If you go into a music shop in South America, you will mainly find nylon string guitars. As it happens, I find nylon strings much easier to play fingerstyle on because the strings are further apart.

Amazing explanation. Thank you.

Thanks for explaining... 5 STARS! --Van

You explain so passionately i love it 😂❤

I've always played on a classical guitar. It sounds "warmer" and more defined. The strings last longer (depends on the brand, but I use Savarez) and are easier for the fingers. I don't like the sound of a western guitar - they sound.. dead? . I do however really love resonator guitars - specially the full bodied metal ones. They sound awesome when using a metal finger-slider! One way to get around the wear and tear on a classical guitar from using a pick or slapping it too much is buying a tap-plate (golpeador) and place it between the bridge and the soundhole.

You're such a good teacher! Wish the classical just wasn't so difficult to play.

i know that you can play more music genre on acoustic guitar .. actually i prefer it

Nice to see the "Faith" guitar brand being featured. No, I don't work for them but I do own one, they are bang per buck (or pound in my case) a brilliant all round all solid wood guitar - UK designed.

Very good explanation, very informative, like this video, thank you 😇

Great explanation.

great explaination bro

Wonderful. Thanks.

great lesson

I have a classical but I bougth it when I was younger so it is a 3/4.I'm interest in buying one full sized but I can't decided what to buy a steel string or nylon, I've never tried a steel string but I tend to press really hard so maybe an acoustic woulf be better? I don't know

Thanks thanks thanks. Is there anyway I could get in touch with you ?

Very useful . Thanks..

Thank you very much for this truly informative video. The classical sounds like a real person being emotional whereas the acoustic is not so “human”.I’ve been playing the acoustic for a while but it doesn’t feel quite right somehow, I’ll definitely try with the classical guitars.

great video! but different wood type also give you different tone. spruce is brighter and cedar is warmer.

Great video, I'm looking at a classical guitar. I think it will be a better guitar to learn finger style on. I also like the sound better. thanks for the great videos. Take care of yourself and your family.

I love the video! I been learning classical but never put that difference into words. It is hard for me to explain now you clarified it "each string has its own sound" very well put On a side note sorry I just cant help feeling like you will drill a hole in your guitar body with your right pinky

Each voice has its place.

I'm already have acoustic guitar and using nylon string , the sound is good enough for me but .. What do you think? Tht is ok or not?

Perhaps this has already been asked and I missed it but if neither instrument is plugged into an amp are they not both acoustics?

Can you play batucada from Isaias Savio? Love this video! Thanks!!

I started listening to Yamandu Costa on classical guitar about two years ago. Closest thing to a rock star on the instrument as is possible.

This is my two cent. For classical stuff ofcourse the classic guitar is better. I am talking about play solo arrangement of pop/rock songs, it just sound better in an acoustic guitar, because the note last longer, and you can add a lot of percussive technique to it,so the song sounds really rich and alive, and even better than play the song on piano, which impossible if you play classical guitar technique only. I practice a lot with classical guitar though. Because the string so gentle I can do 4 hours straight , while with Acoustic guitar my finger burn out after more than 1 hour of intense training.

Podrías hacer un tutorial de killer Queen de Queen? Bien video por cierto! !!

what is name of the song you are playing at 7:34 ?

Hey! Could you please do a tutorial on Gotthard - One life, one soul? You'll love the tune, I promise!

Genius dude 💚

thanks man

I really like watching your video.nice video.좋은 영상입니다. 앞으로도 더 발전된 대형유투버가 되시길 응원합니다.

Great comparison between both guitars and strings! I've learned guitar by playing classical and years later I bought an acoustic one. It's sound of steel strings is awesome, but as you clearly say, nylon strings have a sweet and great colour the other don't. Keep following your channel!

good explaining :)

Are the lessons same in both guitars ?

Bravo, super Lehrreich!

Acoustic guitar is better for playing simpler music. the notes linger a bit longer before fading. as you said it can sound more alien... and that's a good thing if you want to create special atmospheric music. non chord tones in rhythm sound really good with steel guitar. soft, gentle stuff is better played with classical. picks work better with steel strings.

Liked just because of the intro

what is your classical guitar and how much does it cost?

make video series about Indian raag and sitar playing on guitar it will be fun

I love Zac Brown Band's music...but of course he plays Classical. I've always played acoustic-electric or electric. I can't decide which to get. Apparently Classical is wider on the neck. Yet I have always sucked at fretting an acoustic guitar. Yes, I 'could' fret them strength-wise. It gave me callouses on the fingertips (normal, of course) that would peel as I played. When I would go to put my contacts in every morning, the fingertip skin would be peeling on them. It looks like Classical is easier to fret, of course...and has a brighter/more peaceful tone. Has anyone ever played blues on Classical, for instance? Probably doesn't sound very good. How much more difficult is learning to adjust to the width of the neck of a Classical after playing electric and acoustic?

take a shot every time he switches guitars... :p

To beginners, with which one will you suggest to start?

Nylon sounds more harp like, but I experiment with different string types, fluorocarbon & titanium. I have several steel string acoustic using light gage, 10’s, so bending is a wee bit easier.

Wow you play extremely well😀😃😢

So the strings is the only different thing?

Master ❤️

Wow, this convinced me to pick up classical guitar.

Subscribed.

Nylon is easier to play drunk. I like the wide neck,would play my steel more if it had a wide neck love that steel sound but nylon magical.😃

I hate how strumming sounds on a classic guitar personally. I tried it with a pick and fingers both but I guess it's just not what classical guitars are designed for? Im thinking the type of music I want to play (more emphasis on strumming than finger picking) would sound better on an acoustic one?

Killer queen fingerstyle tutorial pls

Can you do Phunkdified by Justin King :D

Classical Guitar: 4:45 Acoustic Guitar: 5:00

classical vs flamenco next video if you have flamenco guitar :D

Uh help I came here because my old acoustic sounds like classical how do I fix it haha

Hello, can i ask you one weird question, can i change the string to, upside down? What happened if i do that. I dont know anything about playing guitar, and im lefthanded, just want to learn new hehehe. Thank you

8:25 Fun fact: Despacito starts from this chord :)

I've owned both going steel all the way

And what about tapping on Classical?

You make it seem like the accustic guitar is useless i bought one on amazon its kinda expensive 😅 more money than my ukulele

k bro

👍💛

🎶🎵🤗

My ears say acoustic My fingers say acoustic 🤷🏻‍♀️

9:34 i think he lost it, kinda forgot his train of thought there

Frethless next one ;)´

if you play country on classical it will not sound good 7:05 starts playing, goes against his statement haha

Finger style classical guitar is best, never buy steel string guitar for finger style, it is not that you cannot play, it is more easier and faster to play classical guitar with finger style.

خیلی زیاد حرف زدی

Anyone else thinks he makes both sound good? Musician > guitar

Celtic fingerstyle sounds much better on steel string. Even more so for DADGAD.

Umm, where’s my pup at ??

Takamine guitars.

Asta ii salam sa mora familia

Well spotted,i^m so stuped .you got my subscibe. Hace a beutifull dsy . Lee1

Jerry Reed is one of the best Country guitarists ever, and he only played nylon. Richard Smith too almost only play nylon strings.
