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.

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.

For me personally I prefer Classical Guitars. I just love the sweet and mellow tone of Nylon strings, chords sound really beautiful on Nylon. At the end of the day it all comes down to preference, no Guitar is better then the other. You play any genre on both Guitars, I recommend people should play both Classical and Acoustic Guitars. You don't want to limit yourself to one type of Guitar.

Ever wonder why many people want to learn to play guitar, but very few actually learn to play? It's simple, this single ad monologue makes you lose your immersion and motivation that you just want to click off KZread and start doing something else when you're finally eager about learning something new!

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.

My first guitar was an inexpensive nylon model. It was easier on the fingers for the first couple of years while I learned chords, etc. The neck is usually wider at the nut than a steel string, so going from nylon to steel made me feel like I was fat-fingering a lot of chords. It's something you get used to. Glad I started out that way.

I like more the sound of steel while strumming, but I love the feel that nylon produces.

I personally prefer the sound of the classical/nylon string guitar. That Spanish/romantic/sit-around-a-campfire sound just has a lot more soul than the steel string guitar, in my opinion.

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

Flat picking too. A tip I use is I down a half step and that made my 10 gauge phosphor bronze strings sound a bit more like a nylon. Also, I get what you mean when you say emotional but both convey different emotions. The nylon sounds deep and depressing but calling it emotional makes it seem like the steel string is flat and gives no emotion, when really it can also sound depressing and deep, but it mostly sounds brighter and more bold, and a lot more like an electric guitar.

Finger picking sounds beautiful on nylon strings. I think any serious guitarist would have both.

I won't have much problems about this since I have two guitars. One acoustic and one classical. I've never used the acoustic one since it's reception to me as a gift about a decade ago and it ended up stored to rust and dust with the high E string taken off. I got my classical guitar a few years later and have been practicing with it since then. Both guitars have metal strings and I am looking towards changing to nylon for the classical one. As fornthe acoustic one, I plan to restore it and change its steel stings to new ones. Two guitars with two different strings for me to genuinely feel the difference.

I found the "Project Farm channel" for guitar, thank you Darrell. Really appreciate the structure of your presentation here. Subscribed right away.

I watched this video like 2 years ago and now I have nice nylon string guitar that plays like a dream :) Really nice video, thanks so much!

The first question is what type of music you wish to play, primarily. I'm nylon because I love latin music (samba bossa nova, flamenco, cuban...) and classical.

I play electric guitar. What the hell am I doing?

@@Gothraven And with me it is just the opposite - my ears almost not at all stand distortion. I want to hear the intervals pure, clear. That´s why 90 % (or 88%) % nylonstringed, 10 % steelstringed, and 0% electrick (or... 2 %?) for me.

Thanks! Thoughtful, clear demo. Will be helpful for lots of folks...

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.

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.

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.

An Excellent comparative presentation. Thank you. Helps a lot.

Enjoyed your solo part so much!!! thank you for such a tasteful video :)

I always recommend nylon strings to a newbie. It doesn't hurt so much to mash the strings down, and they therefore won't become discouraged by practicing. It'll take a bit longer to build up callus, but on nylon, it's not serious anyway.

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 😃

I'm going to buy my first guitar today, this video really helped. Thank you!

All debates aside, the transition of both strings is beautiful.

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.

A fine synopsis of the attributes of steel vs. nylon. Thank you for that tutorial. I think I will take your advice an start with nylon.

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

Steel string sounds good on record but nylon sounds cleaner and more soulful.

Saurav Sharma I disagree I think the nylon sounds fake and cheap. The steal sounds fuller in my opinion. The most soulful guitar today is blues and jazz, and you will get laughed at trying to play something like that with nylon.

A whole set of steel-core strings will pull a neck right off nylon body, eventually. Steel string guitars are not too pricey second hand, like craigsl*st. If you want one, go for it, with a side-gig or something. I'm sure someone who needs it is itching for that cash right about now.

Never put regular steel strings on your classical guitar, it'll damage or downright break your guitar. There is way to much tension on steel strings, classical guitars don't have the reinforcements that steel-string guitars have. If you want to have a little of both worlds on your classical guitar, you should take a look at John Pearse Folk strings. These are great hybrid strings and have low tension.

Maybe the choice is could be answered as "what do you need it for?" Because for example I'm from Argentina and I play Folk Argentinian music, and despite the sound of the steel strings is lovely to me, I'd not use it to play "Chacarera", it just won't sound as good as a nylon strings. As many of you, I love guitars.

Same as bass; you can slap it, play it with only your fingers or jam out with a heavy pick. It’s the player and how he wants to extract the sound from the instrument.
