Bro I was a classical guitarist before I went to bass and the first major challenge was the strings, everybody talks about plucking it but just fretting a note seemed impossible.

Get finger picks.

I started learning on my sisters jacked up western guitar, strings lifted half a cm over the fretboard. It was good practice! Now all other guitars are so easy to play with.

After having played on a classical for many years, steel stringed guitars felt so much easier! The neck was narrower so it was _way_ easier to move the fingers. Getting "good" tone was also much more forgiving. You can pluck basically however you want and still get the same metallic tone, in contrast to nylon where getting consistent tone is very difficult.

After years of playing guitar and not being able to play an F chord, I switched to nylon and could do it in a day.

I can easily play altered dominants with crazy finger positions, like an E7b9#9 (open low E, 3 fret D, 1 fret G, 3 fret b, 3 fret e; could also be spelled as Fm69/E) and can comfortably move that to wherever I want to go, but I cannot play an F to save my life even after 15 years of playing.

Never heard it called “Western Guitar”. That’s interesting.

This is cleaver. As someone who grew up and lives in the state of Alabama I was given a steel string guitar and learned classical on it. You just gotta hit the strings like they are a person.

This and your other short about not being able to play on an acoustic is hilariously relatable. My journey has been from many years of electric guitar and metal music, to a transition period of nylon acoustic, to now exclusively playing steel string acoustics. I used to hate everything about them, but after buying some good ones, going through the painful period of hardening the fingertips and playing lots of fingerstyle, I simply love it. It’s almost like learning to play an entirely different instrument.

This is literally me right now on my classical guitar class since I bought my own acoustic

Nothing hurts more than when one of those strings snaps and whacks you.

THANK YOU SO MUCH. I was struggling with the headstock part, I saw a like 3 videos in the spanish community and no one showed that part, so I thought "Oh, what if I search this in english?" and your video was the first to show. I'M SO GLAD

as a classical guitarist for 10+ years i can confirm this is very difficult for our fingers to adapt

props for him sitting there for 20 years just to show us his song

I wanted to learn guitar, and as a complete novice I bought an acoustic guitar. Big mistake when you've never touched a guitar before. After a few months I got a handle on it and then played my mom's classical guitar. It felt like a toy!

My fingers be like rocks now

I have been playing on nylon for a while and just bought my first steel string guitar, gotta say that I love it, it feels like it is easier getting clean chords and I love the more like rustic sound, especially when singing to it.

Fretting notes poorly doesn't make them quiet, it makes them buzzy. Also for all you new guitarists out there it only took a week for me to build calluses and stop feeling pain so don't worry about this too much.

Ok but as someone who learned on an acoustic, going to a music shop and playing on a nylon was a dream come true. That shit is so much easier lmao

This is amazingly accurate ahahahs

What was that song in the beginning when he said relaxing

Been playing for over ten years but have never tried nylon before 😅. Started with super slinky on a electric guitar but quickly went acoustic in highschool so I could play anywhere anytime. We used to play during lunch, study halls, in between classes etc. I guess it would make it easier to play but I'd be afraid to lose my sound I get from D'addario, and Elixirs.

I’m thinking about trying nylon but I’ve been playing steel string for years

I recently bought a classical guitar and it's very interesting to play on it, the strings are so soft, the strings are a thousand miles away from the fret board, the fret board is so wide and it sounds so numb sometimes like the sound is dying after 2 seconds while my western guitar rings out for a long time. It's a handmade guitar by Martin Seeliger (Lakewood guitars) from the 80's and I honestly can not tell if the sound is good or if it just sounds bad in my ears because I'm so used to the steel sound...

when I started playing acoustic, the skins on the right hand finger start to peel off and it still wouldn't stop

I switched from mainly electric to mainly classic guitar. May western guitar mainly sits in its gigbag for decades now.

My first guitar was an acoustic guitar with hard steel strings like that guitar. I burnt my fingers like hell, it became mutated, though I was dedicated to still practice. The pain later in the night is even worse.

The "CHEW" sound 😍

I learnt on a really heavy steel string only after a year or so I was around a friends house with my guitar and he had ago and said how heavy it was and that he couldn’t believe I was learning on it , iv since changed strings to much lighter ones and I can honestly say that year on those heavy strings has made my fingers like cement.

I learned on accoustic for 2 years and loved it. Mind you, mine was set up by a professional luther for my preferences specifically but still. I have yet to experience Nylon strings and im ok with that. I like steel strings. My hands/fingers are so calloused from playing guitar and being a mechanic that nothing really bothers em anymore

Acoustic is harder than electric no doubt

Interesting... for me the biggest pain was definitely the fretting hand. Ouch.

I hated my steel string so much I went and bought a classical nylon lol

He’s not wrong.

It’s not so much the strumming but the fretting fingers where it really hurts, especially when you’re barring string and/or sliding. They really be cutting and slicing up your fingertips

It's like training with Master roshis turtle shell when you switch from acoustic steel to nylon or electric.

I put steel strings on a classical guitar. I didn‘t know better. No one taught me. My guitar teacher just laughed and said it‘s unusual and weird that it‘s playable. But I played steel strings on a big fret board for years. Now my callus has callus.

Not even a joke just actually me when I got my first acoustic a guitar. I recommend it though if you play electric play acoustic only for like a week and your finger strength will thank you

By the way nylon guitar is my favourite type of guitar

I switched from classical nylon string to my electroacoustic metal string years and years ago and i was doing fine - until I stopped practicing for years and then when I picked it back up it was absolutely KILLING my fingers and I had to bust out the nylon again 😅

It's a little bit funny how my guitar at home which I train with. Is the hardest guitar I play on. Yeah it's annoying but If I can play something on that guitar. Then it's just way better on other guitars.

Going through this suffering myself atm 😂 glad to know is not a me thing 😅

Man hasn't aged in 20 years.

My dad bought a guitar like 2 days ago and the low three strings are steel and the higher ones are nylon lol

"Maybe I just play something relaxing..." "Guess who's back!"

Building up calluses is important, yeah its gonna hurt at first, but as time passes as you play more often. It'll be like the pain is nonexistent.🥰💙

YESSS. I had to stop practicing sessions just because the string bit so deep into my finger that it made a groove and it just wasn't pushing it down after a while. Also, acousting guitars are way less forgiving. If you press the string even slightly wrong it will sound like a robot giving birth. Classical is way easier in that.

When i started learning bass, by instructor made me pic the string with my finger for more than 30 min, He said it will help me get used to the pain😅

Classical guitar is great for any .elody sou d except hard rock. Acoustic is limited to any fingerstyle unless is a 1200 guitar. Electric is. It for all and needs toi much equipment to sound good and u have to play rrally dufferent fkrm any acoustic. So classical wins for any melody and chords! Sounds magical and sophisticated. U eaen the respect wirh classical.

Yes, nylon and steel are two totally different animals...I play them both. also play 12 string, and ukulele...

If you want to do what you just did. Have a nail salon put acrylic nails on your RH first. And eh. Maybe having high tension strings on the nylon guitar first will help you build the calluses you need on the LH.

This is why I want to learn on steel, get the pain over while learning! 😢

Yeah it gives you the ability to light a cigarette playing the world's smallest violin.

Only fingerpick with nylon strings. Use a pick for steel strings.

I might be crazy but nylon sounds so much better

My first guitar was a junk acoustic my stepmother had as a kid that had thicker strings than my .14s and a SEVERE bow in the neck so I can sympathize.

That’s why we have picks.

I have only played on nylon strings a handful of times, but have had a steel one for almost 20 years now... Nylon strings feel utterly sloppy for me. I want one now, but that is only so it will sound less loud when I play since it gives me anxiety when I think people hear me playing
