The nylon string guitar has the strings more spaced out to making it easier to nail really hard chords

"Nylon string predates its steel counterpart." Nylon guitar strings were invented in the 1940s. I know what you mean, and I know that there isn't really a great encompassing term for "gut and gut analog strings", but it still sounds silly to say that nylon is older than steel.

@@user-sp3sw5we6p I'm sorry; what? Nylon didn't exist at all before 1935. Steel string guitars became available around 1900. Nylon is not a synonym for "gut".

and there is another difference with your left Hand in the classic you fold your wrist but in acoustic you can play with your thumb up to the fretboard to mute de E string

The spacing on the steel string is closer. Singer songwriter can work on nylons just as well. For genres, how you play makes a bigger difference. Jazz has been predominantly played on steel flats and archtops, but nylon classicals have had their proponents for the genre. Even blues, Sue Foley can smack the blues out of nylons... With digital processing, if you record, you can manipulate the sound of what you laying down...

I was told that starting with steel is better due to the versatility and callous buildup, i like both so I wasn’t fussed, just started my journey…. My fingers hurt lol

Can I switch a steel string with bronze or smth??

Always good to start off with something harder.

Can’t you just switch the type of string (nylon/steel) on either the classical or modern guitar and get a similar sound

You can't put steel strings on a guitar made for nylon/gut strings. They will either break the guitar or turn it into a banana due to the significantly increased tension required by the steel strings. You could put nylon strings on a steel string guitar, but it would require some modifications due to the increased thickness of the strings themselves. It might also be awkward to play because the strings would have less spacing between them, again because of the increased thickness of the strings. Also, because the guitar is built to be more rigid, expecting the increased tension of the steel strings, it's likely to be overly quiet due to the strings having less ability to vibrate the guitar body.

Nylon and Acoustic can both be harder than the other for beginners for different reasons. Width vs tension.

just 1 question should i switch from acoustic steel string to nylon guitar?

@andria321 5 ай бұрын

You should try both first. As a classical guitar player, i decided to buy an acoustic a few day ago and let me tell you that i dont like the sound of it at all. I dont know why because i have always liked playing on an acoustic here and there with my friends, but when i got it and played for a while my opinion on an acoustic changed. Now im thinking about selling the acoustic and buying a new classical guitar. So the thing i wanted to say is u should play around every guitar and choose the one that works best for you

Same capo can work on both but the fretboard of an acoustic is a bit curved, whereas the classical one looks entirely flat, though yeah the same capo should work for both but I've noticed acoustic guitar capos are a bit curved too, I don't think you'll face a lot of problems, I have never tried it but buzz can arise.....

@leftundersun 6 ай бұрын

No, bro, you can't play them the same way, nylon you need to play with finger nails because if you play with finger meat the sound doesn't have projection and if you play with a pick it gets too noisy. But steel strings you can play with anything you prefer.

@joshuachristensen7334 9 ай бұрын

A nylon acoustic is harder to play and it doesnt have softer strings. You have to press harder on a nylon.

@charlytavernier6241 7 ай бұрын

They probably meant that the action is generally higher on a classical guitar, which is true. Also, if you're into sophisticated stuff, the wider neck and frets can make the nylon string quite challenging to play. Early on, nylon might be less painful but in the long run it's definitely not easier to play.
