The Difference Between Steel Strings and Nylon Strings

[edbapemo]

How about nylon on an acoustic which has a stronger neck. Or is there something else involved? Thanks!

Even though she's probably a lesbian, I would do her.

ok, Classical guitar + Steel strings = bad choice

So is it ok to use Nylon strings on an acoustic guitar?

Thank god you have a pretty face, otherwise that "cool" hairdo would be way too off to be put in a video. You also have a good voice tone, so that's another thing that allows you to look "not part of the system" and still feel okay to be who you are.

@mulimotola44 ? i hate people like you....

What is your suggestion regarding buying the "First Guitar". Is it easier to play the Nylon string guitar owing to lesser tension and wider string intervals. Also it seems that a Nylon string guitar would be easier on fingers for a beginner. I like the sound of Steel strings better though. Whats your advice?

@slitsil In my personal opinion, nylon strings are a little easier for a beginner, steel kind of cuts into the fingers, but will toughen them up more also.

[slitsil]

@bctvr Thanks a lot, It will surely come in handy. Just one more thing if i could ask. Would a beginner, find any significant difference in the sound? I mean i definitely like the sharp sound of steel strings, but as a beginner, would I find the difference remarkable or disturbing so to say if i am playing nylon guitar myself?

[bctvr]

@slitsil Umm, you might. There is a decent difference, and depending on the type of music you want to play, one type will sound better than the other. What I would probably do is use the nylon strings first, and once you get a decent amount of practice, and you toughen your fingers up a bit, switch to steel. I will warn you though, even with nylon strings your fingers will really hurt for a while, but don't give up. If you practice everyday, it will get better and easier. Good luck!

@bctvr Thanks a lot once again :)
