Who wins the battle? 🤔 Nylon song is 'Fuego' and steel string is 'Waterworks' 🤘

As a beginner guitarist I to did a test between the steel strings and the nylon and I personally like the steel string much better.

I think they both have their strengths and weaknesses. The steel strings are my personal preference but the nylon strings do bring a certain sound that sounds incredible as well.

Nylon sounds warm and natural. I like playing with nylon strings. Steel has its place but the sound is not as warm but it is clearer.

Nylon- suspense and soothing Steel - Crunchy and bold Winner - BERNTH

Both sounds amazing when you play It, but that Waterworks riff is just out of this world

What the people don't understand: nylon strings Arte to play especifific genres, while the steel strings are to play others especifics genres. One isn't better than other, they are just for different applications

Came here to say this. No offense to Bernth, but I don't think he did the nylon string justice here. The tone he used and way he played it just don't highlight the sexy side of nylon string.

It all really depends on what you’re interested when it comes to the sound

depends on what type of music that is played, imo i really love the classical guitar of its sound in more ambient music, and the steelstring sounds amazing in other types of music

steel definitely wins for sure. But nylon definitely has a unique sound that could be useful in some scenarios.

The classical guitar kills with a single argument. You can make classical music. The highest peak of the guitar.

I prefer metal, but honestly both sound so nice.

Me too

They are both special and good sounding when played by you :)

I feel like they're equal but have very different applications dependent upon the tone you're going for. Nylon works with Fuego because it lends more to the Latin guitar sound, whilst steel is good for Waterworks because it's evocative of what I associate with raindrops.

I think it's more of what style are you looking for? What sound are you looking for? In the same sense that songs from different genres are good in their own right, but enjoyed by different people.

They both have a unique sound, but I like the the nylon strings a bit more

Prefer nylon 100%. But both sound INSANE when you play them.

Funny, I feel like on fast picking techniques, nylon has more percussive sound (coming from the picking) rather than "ringing" sound, so the signal/noise ratio isn't that good on nylon. On lower picking speeds, nylon can sound amazing. I still prefer steel generally, but it really depends on the style of music you play.

I grew up learning on nylon with a classical guitar, and although i dont own one now i prefer playing on that setup.

They both have they places. sounds equally as good.

The tone on the nylon is just perfect.

I used to play a lot of steel string and just occasional nylon string. But now i'm playing more nylon string. I think you can get more interesting organic percussive quality and actually a wider sonic range of sound on nylon without a brittle high end... I think everybody should try both and don't discount nylon until you give it a good shot...

Nylon is pretty underrated imo

Depends on the style your playing, i personally like playing the nylon for more classical guitar but i like steel for certain songs as well

Those harmonics man ☠️ I swear to god people like you are literally born for this shit !!! 🔥 🔥

Both sound amazing

Neither is better! They’re just different, and they both rock! Some of the best rock and metal songs dating back decades were written and/or recorded on either a steel or nylon stringed guitar. Every guitarist should own at least one electric and one acoustic guitar - having at least one of each will make you a more versatile player!

It depends honestly for what kind of sound one is going for.

Best is bare fingers, not plastic, tortoise, metal nor even a 6 pence. But since I took delivery on my custom classical 2 years ago, I have only touched my Gibsons, Martins, Larrivees and PRSs once.

They both sound heavenly in your hands.

The second one made me feel like I’m in Italy❤

For Chords Nylon sounds amazing like Kurt Cobains acoustic on polly or something in the way. BUT His guitar had both nylon and steel at the same time

Balalaika I liked most But fr, both soundings are unique, especially in your hands ❤

uhhh, all of the above? Seriously, love them both for their different sounds. Can't choose!

The warmth from that nylon tho!!!!

This is fucking awesome.

With you playing I couldn't tell man.😂 sounds great on both!😂

I like steel more.. My favorite song waterworks

Steel is much better. The bright tones sound so good.

For that song, steel, but in general, nylon. Also depends on the guitar. Nylon works great for carbon fiber guitars, but can be a bit too muted on cheaper 6 strings.

Steel sounds significantly better for overall sound and balance but there’s places and applications where each outdo the other. Dependent on the situation

Let's put it this way: both sounds good, if the right music is played with the right choice of equipment (plastic pick vs your nails). I play classical music with fingerpicking on nylon strings. You can play it on steel, but nylon sounds better. Pop musoc and rock ballads almost 100% on steel. Forget about shredding with picks on nylon, since the only thing you'll hear is the plastic pick snapping the strings. Shredding on nylon with fingerpicking again, is quite impressive! sounding.

Nylon - sounds cool 😄 Steel string - sounds Amazing 🤩

Nylon always sounds better on acoustic. Unless what your playing something that needs that certain metal wound twang, nylon will provide a cleaner, smoother, and more intonated tone. Metal wound notes usually all sound like the metal they were wound in. Metal "B" & "High E" strings will always sound like the metal with different gauged tightnesses since they're almost the same material at different widths.

They're both amazing in sound!! But im biased towards nylon. Started with nylon and played nylon for years and still playing it, along with electric guitar. I rarely used steel stringed guitar.

I was the winner on this one!! Amazing playing brother!! This is my pick,,,, Steel strings.

Steel and it's not even close

Personal preference is towards steel string. As a person who started on electric guitar first as soon as I tried nylon acoustic it just felt a bit weird to me... So for my acoustic I instead picked up a Stagg Dreadnought. Just feel steel is more sharp and clear to my ears, but by no way dissing nylon acoustics though 😊

Im still learning to play on my classical with nylon, but im telling you i cannot WAIT until i get myself a steel string acoustic!

If you play the nylon correctly, the answer is the nylon

I got to go with nylon, it had this "beady" sound to it

this guy just wanted to show off and I ain't complaining. that was awesome

I’m hearing some Tempting Time by Animals as Leaders in that nylon run, awesome stuff!

I for one MUCH prefer the second one. That's steel, right?

Steel. Easily

maybe use both on the same guitar with a high grade mic and the same song for comparison. my favourite is steel bc it is fingerfriendly and has more volume and less off-note side-sound.

Depends on the song. Till There Was You's solo sounds judt perfect with nylon

steel is what acoustic is meant to sound like

We all know that steel is the clear winner...

For this style of music I think it sounds better on the nylon classical guitar however there are plenty of things that don't sound great on nylon that do on accoustic

both? both! BOTH! both is good! *unstoppable nodding*

Really just depends on what you're playing, the way you pick, and your prefeance. Though I've also heard nylon can be a bit better for people with arthritis or other things that make their hands not as strong.

in this application steel but for any type of pre 14th century music, nylon

I just don't think there's a way to win vs the sweetness and swing that it's possible to have on a well made Classical (nylon) Guitar.

In the end it just depends on preference, i like steel strings cuz im more used to it(boy the pain i had in my fingertips as a beginner tho)

You incredible you got so in control

Thing is you played both of them like an electric guitar No disrispect meant, you rock! Acoustic always for strumming and classic for arpeggios;)

They both work phenomenally if they're used the right way

They both sound great, in fact, they complement each other. I would love to hear song where the nylon and the steel string do back and forth solos, like Hangar 18 style.

I consider that it's pretty much based on what type of sound you're looking for, that's my humble opinion

I wonder how much the difference in guitars makes for fair comparison of strings vs. strings.

I like em both, and can't even tell. Both are cool in different styles. Hard to tell

I really like the clearer and sharper sound of the steel.

That brown guitar sound is classic and its kinda feels nostalgic.

The types of guitar solos for the nylon blocks are known as renquito. Try to learn one, you can hear the difference.

Both are cool but I’m definitely leaning towards the steel string. I think it may be a matter of personal preference, but the steel sounds clearer and crispier imo. Excellent playing from Bernth as per usual 🔥

Cancion Del Mariachi one of the best guitar playing was played on nylon. It depends on the genre and the sound you want at the time. It's like asking what's better electric guitar or acoustic guitar.

Everything can sound amazing if Berth plays it.

I prefer nylon string acoustic but the full sized body nylon string. Not too keen on the sound of the thin ibanez nylon string.

they both sound really good, but I feel as though nylon strings don’t do quite as good of a job at conveying the tone with faster rhythms, I personally feel like nylon strings are better suited for slower types of music where the strings can be given more time to ring out

I've always preferred steel string acoustic. Very well played!

For me it really depends on the piece that the artist is playing, but I think I'd rather go with the nylon.

O vencedor foi vc. Você é sensacional, incrível 🎉🎉🎉

Ufffff que. Calidad y profesionalismo de toke y de música felicidades broo que buen video ❤

Different aplications, both are amazing

Theyre both amazing. The sound of acoustic guitar as we've known it will always be beautiful. The new sound with nylon we've been hearing a lot in the recent years definitely has a unique twist, and it sounds just as beautiful. It's just something newer now, that's all. I think it just boils down to preference. I wouldn't make it a competition as to which one is better, there's no need.

Usaba guitarra con cuerdas de nylon y me gustaba el sonido, ahora estoy fascinado con el sonido de una guitarra con cuerdas de metal

Both sounds good but it depends on guitarist, what He/she is into steel ones or nylons ones

They're both great but have different uses for different styles. For finger-style and classical I like nylon much better. But for your typical song that needs a lot of strumming definitely steel.

Nylon for fingerstyle how can you play with pick that's why it sounds like that

Nylon, but im a Spanish or old west fan when it comes with the guitar. The nylon sounds like it's an compliment you would put in a zorro movie

It really depends on the style of music but generally i prefer the steel string sound. Its clearer and punchier. Nylon has a much warmer sound which works well for mellower music.

Winner - Guitar

Both good but depends on how it’s played that makes it sound better

It depends if u are playing like somthing that is spanish or mexican nylon, if u are playing like classic rock or pop steel

I can't see this as an accurate challenge without using the exact same acoustic guitar. I'm a newbie to it but the guitars themselves should produce different sounds, even if slightly different right?!!
