This is a biased review. He even plays the nylon guitar super softly and with no energy to make a point. They are both good, depends what you want to play. Ballads, romantic songs, pop I prefer nylon. Rock and metallic sound, to me, sounds better with steel. Fingerpicking, use nylon. With a pick, I use steel. But, I think most people are biased.

@RogerThat902

@@IceBeamTetsuno It was a fair comparison. A lot of people just like classical. The problem is as Andy said, most songs that HE teaches will sound better on a steel string. I should not say better, but more familiar. Or at the very least close to the sound Andy is producing, which is important for a beginner. Classical is absolutely beautiful, but the techniques that make nylon great are not anything a beginner will be doing for a while--like fingerpicking. By the time you're ready to fingerpick, you will either be ready to buy another guitar and/or know you prefer classical guitars. The thing is also, there are different techniques that classical guitar players use that Andy doesn't teach because that's not the style most people today are learning for pop/rock songs. Andy gave great advice, but that doesn't mean if you want to play classical you should avoid it. No, just know that you're not going to get the same sound as Andy does in his videos. Nor will you be taught what is traditional "classical guitar." Traditional Classical guitarists hold their guitars totally differently than steel string guitar players typically do. That's not a huge issue in playing, but you should know that. In fact, it's very easy to tell someone who started on classical guitar based on the technique they use on steel. Traditionally it's taught somewhat differently.

My rule of thump for the guitar to start on is the one that suits your musical preference the most. Every guitar type its own has pros and cons so the deciding factor is the type of music you like. If you are unclear about your musical preferences, I highly suggest starting on a steel string acoustic. IMO it’s kind of in between the electric and classical guitars; like a middle ground, simply put. It will be easier to switch to either should you find steel string acoustics not to your musical taste.

I use classical guitars because I play a lot of spanish songs

Good video IMHO. Your points on plus and minus are thought-provoking as well. I've messed about with a classical guitar at a friends home some time back and definitely remember the struggle to make the chords and also get any decent tone. But that may well just be because I am crap.

I started with nylon (very similar to one in the video). When playing chords i like more playing with hand instead of a pick. To me it sounds more spanish-like, i feel like it sounds more dynamic and allows me to experiment more. My only regret is having the full sized one. The bare chords are very very hard to learn and even more when in a song. One day gonna replace it with 3/4. Huge respect for all of you guys who went through the pain of thin steel strings.

Thanks for answering all my questions. I'm a beginning learner. And just subscribe to your channel to see if I can pick up a few lessons. Again thanks for all your help. Clarence

Start with a steel string. I brought a semi decent classical guitar after a year. As I wanted to learn some fingerstyle stuff which sounded best on a classical guitar. But I mainly use steel strings unless I’m performing something like tears in heaven or classical gas for example

I recently playing a Fender CN-140 in a store - which has a narrow (43 mm) neck and concert body shape. In other words it plays like a steel string guitar with a very easy action. I think it might be a great choice for a beginner. Very comfortable to play all around. About $400 BTW. As far as not sounding like the beloved recordings.... Most beginner songs aren't currently on the pop charts. Also the soft nylon voicing might make practice more pleasant for others in the household. Just saying.

I've been playing on a guitar my mom got as a gift a long time ago, I literally just found out its made for nylon strings and I've been playing it with steel strings this whole time

5:50 note from a 2 meter tall guy: I got the big one. Small one feels lost in my arms :) Thanks for all the good works Andy.

Agree 100%. I’ve only had steel string guitars. Family bought my daughter a cheap little nylon sting uke, and while it’s adorable, the nylon slips so much and it won’t stay in tune for longer than a few minutes, it really put her off the whole thing understandably. I went out on a limb and got her a mini fender telecaster, steel stringed, electric etc. Her keenness has sky rocketed, sometimes she asks to plug into my amp and use some of my peddles. I try and let her plug in at a minimum because I feel she should get practice in without, considering it’s an electric. If she stays keen I’ll get her a nice junior size Acoustic to she can really get her teeth into it. Thanks for the video.

So what happened

I think the best way to learn guitar is to start with a nylon-string guitar. Nylon is tougher on your fingers; it requires more finger strength and endurance. You need to build those up as you make progress. If you ace nylon, you'll have a better time moving on to steel strings. Regardless of what music style you're going for, you'll need that strength and endurance, and I cannot stress this enough; moving to an electric guitar having played an acoustic for years made the transition easy as pie. The cherry on top is that almost any girl will fall for spanish-style music. :D

I would only say that the classical guitar that you have is pretty vintage to your steel strings.

If you want a nylon strings (Spanish) acoustic guitar I can only think about artesanal handmade guitars made at paracho, Michoacan, México. My 2 main reasons are that you can bought one in a budget and even if for the people from paracho are the worst, it would be excellent for a beginner to a mid level. Reason number 2 is that even the medium budget guitar to the most expensive ones are in the range of price of an american fender but.... all of these guitar lines from the 50 usd to the 1500 usd all are handmade and all became with rose wood, here's the first variation in the value you can bought the cheapest one with just the rose wood just for the main resonator or something that came with a major part in the body made of rose wood and is the same quality as the violin, viola or cello rosewood stick resonator. Great content btw

Is it okay to put nylon strings on an acoustic guitar?

I bought a guitar to learn Popsongs not knowing anything about it. After playing for a year on nylon strings I almost gave up because it just would not work for me. Now I know why thank you very much

Nylon and steel both have their uses in different styles of music. Nylon is more suited towards classical or flamenco for example. Nylon is also easiest on your fingers. Steel is going to sound better for almost any other genre in my opinion. It's more taxing on the fingers, but it's worth it and it will make you a better, more flexible guitar player overall. Again, just on my opinion.

Completely agree and I say that as someone that thinks classical guitars are magic w/ the right song. Unless you know exactly what you want to play, most people should go steel to start.

Nylon Strings are perfect for beginners. I had my Yamaha FGX830C restrung at the shop with nylon strings after my fingers tips throbbed for two weeks straight on the steel string ones. Screw the sound ! I can sculpt the sound with any amp to sounds like a canary if i wanted to. I am 55 and need comfort first ! Nylon is the way to go for beginners and intermediate students.
