That’s the way I did it. Edit: for the love of god yall can stop telling me its calluses i got it the first 90 times lol

Despoina V Maybe steel but I'm also a beginner and strumming isn't terribly hard with the nylon. The difference though is that strumming with a pick is weird on nylon (because the strings are farther apart), so it's much better (for me anyways) to strum with the back of your index and middle fingernails on downstrokes and back of thumb nail for upstrokes. For steel most people strum with a pick. They're both fine to start with honestly. I really appreciate the larger spaces between the strings on a nylon. I'd say go with whichever you think sounds better.

My first guitar in my teens was a steel (bronze) string, but I also owned nylon string guitars. By the time I reached my mid 20s, I bought a nice quality Guild steel/ bronze string guitar that's been with me for the last 40 years. I've been tempted to upgrade to a higher quality Martin, but my heart and soul and playing hands are melded to this one guitar. It's been with me longer than and friend or wife. Nylon strings are warmer, smoother and gentler, great for folk and ballads as well as classical and spanish/flamenco oriented playing. I am reminded that one of my favorites -- Carlos Santana -- has said that the only acoustic guitar he will play is c OK assical nylon. For everything else, he plays electric. Buy steel strings are also brighter and clearer sounding. Harmonics played on a steel sound like the ringing of a bell. And, as you mention, it's the most versatile acoustic for playing all different genres of music. You can still play classical and Spanish flavored songs as well as gentle folk ballads. But you really can't play rock and roll on a nylons stringed classical guitar. Not and be authentic anyway. Thanks again though for another excellent gu I tar review. The only complaint I have for your videos is that they make me want to buy a museum full of beautiful, gorgeous toned guitars I have no money for. I'm lucky 7f I can afford the gas to drive to the local music store to drool over them.

I would say nylon strings are best for the very beginner because of the advantages put forward in video. And then move on to steel when fingers have built up a bit of toughness. Plus Spanish guitars have an individuality of their own musically.

Nylon classicals are the best to start training, including basic pieces like the Romanza played or Lagrima. The fretboard width, fret spacing and the softer impact of nylons develops good hand flexibility, stretch and positioning. You can see that you are trained in classical and that your left and right hand positioning and dexterity carries over to electrics and acoustics.

This. At the end of the day it's not the guitar, the strings, or the cost. It's the player. All a beginner needs is any old thing that has 6 strings, stays in tune and sounds fine. But nice to have a breakdown of the differences. Doesn't hurt to be informed. Just don't think beginners should overthink things. Maybe find the opportunity to try out both strings. Visit a music shop and get hands on. But the best teacher is time so get cracking.

If you are starting and have never picked up a guitar, I recommend nylon since it is far easier to play and you won't get discouraged. Steel strings are great if you start with electric since the difference is not great enough to deter you when you switch. Steel stringed acoustic for beginners is probably one of the biggest deterrents. The instrument has high action and is ready to fight those beginner errors, while an electric will allow you to play far sooner and you can focus on more important things like tone

Nylon versus steel string guitars is like comparing apples to oranges to me. It's almost like they're two completely different instruments, not in terms of a learning curve for chords and scales, but for feel, sound and intonation. And it depends on what style of music you're into -- classical and flamenco for the nylon-string versus country and blues for the steel-string. There are exceptions, but that's the general rule. I would just as soon say get both so you have more sounds at your disposal.
@BertGrink8 жыл бұрын

@jgrossma8 жыл бұрын
They're not "like" different instruments, they *ARE* different instruments. They're built differently, they're strung differently, the neck and bridge geometry are different, they feel different, technique of playing them is different, and they're typically used for different forms of music. Yes, if you can play one, you can play the other (like synthesizer and piano), but they're just NOT the same thing. Personally, I love nylon string guitars, and I'm a strong advocate for them, but I'd say the "better" instrument is the one the beginner WANTS to play! If you want to play classical guitar or flamenco music, you should be playing nylon. ANY fingerstyle guitar tends to work well on nylon. On the other hand, if you want to play more conventional pop, or like using a pick, steel string is the way to go. I'd also add that for CHILDREN who have "softer" fingers and are just starting out, nylon (no pick) is easier, and recommended. That's true for adults as well, albeit somewhat less so.

It depends what style and what sound you want. I'm more of an electric player but I love playing classical music too, and I kind of prefer playing classical (nylon) to steel, I find it more fun to play. To me steel is more for singing along to and strumming chords. Classical is so much more fun to play. Search up some terraga and Segovia.

It doesn't really matter whether the strings are Nylon or not. I was a begginer last year and saw my bro's guitar hanging, but since he left to another country, I tried it. The strings were metal, my fingers hurt, and I had calluses after 2 days. Many people keep on saying that our strings are hard (it's acoustic-electric guitar), however, the determination for me to learn it helped me to play the guitar as happy as I am now 😃

Never put regular steel strings on your classical guitar, it'll damage or downright break your guitar.

Very different actually, the fret spacing, on a nylon as said is bigger than an steel one, giving people with small hands a very big disadvantage, the nylon is harder to replace strings since you have to tie them to the bridge, and the body is also very small, compared to the steel one. You can’t adjust the truss rod on nylon because, well it doesn’t have one. And therefore handles less tension than a steel. I would probably prefer a guitar with a classical body, with an acoustic bridge, a truss rod, acoustic neck and a cutaway. It’s like soy sauce and egg, no one thought of it, but it’s good together.

It was around $450 wen I bought it back in 2012 in Puerto Rico. I think it's worth the price. It sounds very nice when acoustic and when you plug it in it sounds even better (I used to play with it at church every Sunday and it does sounds sweet). It's a very study guitar yet it looks gentle. If I were you, I'd try to aim for a guitar around $400-$600. That's not too cheap nor too expensive, I had to save money for a couple of months but it was worth it.

Anything that "can" be played on a nylon string "can" be played on a steel string, and vice versa. There are electric nylon string instruments, and there are nylon string guitars with cutaways, body/neck joint at 14th fret, and even acoustic width bridges and necks. Its just a question of which is BETTER for a given piece. I'd say in GENERAL the TYPE of music that's usually played on classical guitars (eg classical and flamenco) is more technically challenging then most acoustic guitar music, but of course there are plenty of examples of technically hard acoustic stuff too!
@jgrossma8 жыл бұрын
Hardcore nylon players almost invariably play with their fingernails, or with synthetic fingernails, which are pretty much like picks glued to each finger! Tonally, a pick on nylon isn't THAT different, but using the fingernails gives more control over tone and, of course, makes the nylon fingerstyle techniques possible. EG, I've never seen anyone play a convincing tremolo with contrapuntal bass line using a pick. .. though that technique with nails is bread-and-butter for flamenco, and is used sometimes in classical playing as well.
@jgrossma8 жыл бұрын
I don't know about that. With only a few exceptions, pretty much anything that can be played on one can be played on the other. Each of the two instruments have techniques that work better for their type. For example, if you want to BEND strings, steel is much better. You can bend them further, and keep them in tune better with steel. You probably shouldn't bend nylon at all (though some do get away with it). If you want to play acoustic SLIDE guitar, again, the extra sustain and tension of steel strings makes that possible. Although you "can" do it on nylon, overall effect (IMO) isn't nearly as good, and I don't know any "serious" slide or blues player who uses nylon. Sustain tends to be better on acoustic guitars, though in practice, this probably doesn't really "matter". In contrast, nylon facilitates all sorts of fingerstyle techniques, both because of the softer strings and their wider spacing. For example, rasgeado works better on nylon, as do tremolos. As a pure FINGERSTYLE instrument, I think nylon stands out.

For fifty years I have played flamenco guitars which tend to have a more treble sound than a traditional classical guitar and sound much more like a steel string guitar without the long sustain. The flamenco guitar also has a cutting strumming or Rasgueado. This makes the guitar very cool in rock settings that I have brought it to.

after having own both types plus electric guitars and played bass also I strongly believe the hardest one to play is the steel string guitar, feels very very hard for my fingers for some reason. I had a music teacher that used to play even rock on a electroacustic nylon guitar and sounded amazing, definitely an underestimated instrument

I prefer different guitars depending on the song/piece. Some fingerstyle I want the bright high notes to ring through, but in another song I want a more full and warm sound to my playing. Music is all about interpretation, how do you feel the song should sound and what kind of tone do you have in mind when you envision it.

You know...there are these strings for steel guitar that are called silk and steel. They kinda sound like a blend between steel and nylon strings
