- Which guitar sound do you prefer? Let me know in the comments!
Steel string : Martin 000-10e made in Mexico.
Nylon String : Juan Alvarez 1985 classical guitar made in Spain, Madrid.
I just uploaded a full length video comparing nylon vs steel strings if you all want to check it out! 👏🏼
Steel sounds like you're supposed to dance to it. Nylon sounds like your alarm clock at 7 am
Lmao that’s a good description 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Depends on the music style your playing on the guitar some music will sound better on steel some will sound better on nylon
Steel string is more bright and nylon string is warm

Nothing beats finger picking on a nylon. It feels like a melody of nature rather than an artificial melody.
I agree! 👍🏼
Which is funny because steel strings are more "natural" than nylon
@@Jett-Kinglemao
@@Jett-KingRight! Just imagine how vibrant actual gut strings must have sounded
@@Jett-Kingirony
Steel feels more like fresh morning and nylon feels like mild evening more chill vibe
That’s a good description! 👍🏼
I'm looking for the chill one so yeah
It’s less sharp and has less attack in my opinion. It also just feels better to play my little baby hands get all cut up my steel strings ;-;
I do feel the other way around, is it because I used to wake up in the evening? Hahaha
I can’t decide. Now I need to buy TWO guitars.
Lol that’s always the dilema! 😅😬
😅Hahahha
Do it, it worth not missing out 💫
Perfect response!❤❤❤❤
Exactly. The high end of the steel strings is nice. But so are the mids of nylons. It's a rounder sound but not better or worse. Just different. I need both.
I feel like the nylon when it comes down to finger picking has much more body to it.
Yes 👏🏼
To me the nylon is a bit punchier in a way and at time reminds me of a banjo.
Classical sound is so relaxing
Yes I agree!☝️
@@orlanbro bro can u plz play sahara from tribal rain
@@orlanbro biggest request ever love frm India sikkim
@@Dieupere839 I’ll see what I can do bro! Thanks for listening 👏🏼
@@orlanbro if u do our Rahul rai will be and nepali community will be thankful to u 😇😇😇
steel has treble
nylon has bass
2 one is classical guitar thats why
That harmonic was ✨ heavenly ✨
Thank you! 🙏
been playing 16 years and nylon took my heart about 3 years ago.
Nice! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Damn your guitar playing is crazy good sounding
Ayyy thanks man 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Steels sounds better for the style of riffs you’re playing but nylon sounds really good with their warm tones for other type of music👍
Agreed! 👏🏼
I think it's more of personal preference! Beauty is in the eye of the beholder!
That is very true 👏🏼

sound preference : ears
guitar model : eyes
Totally depends on the song. Here you have what sounds like a Skynrd riff that is done with a nice James Taylor inspired fingerpicking style. So the steel string sounds better here. But it’s a cool comparison to make. I should do this more going forward and not assume one is better than the other for a particular song without trying both first. Great idea!
Nice! 👏🏼
Depends on where the song is going. If it's gonna rock, steel. But if it's going slow and sentimental, maybe nylon sounds better
How about Flamenco?
@@Ra-cq4el flamenco goes only on nylon strings. But playing the way flamenco should be played with nylon is only left for privileged players.
Thanks for this comment. It helped me understand better what i should be getting for country music🙂🙏🏿
Team nylon
Steel has a longer more natural ringing of notes and fuller sound. Nylon has a more focused sound over all.
Yes 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Nylon like wood nature sound
nylon is king
Dependings on the type of music being played but for this I like steel slightly more
Niceeeee 👍🏼
Nylon. I am still learning but I wanted a guitar and when it came time for a choice I decided on a classical guitar for all the things that I felt would be easier to learn guitar.
Nice! Good choice 👍🏼 I started uploading more shorts here with easy guitar songs with the chords on screen. Maybe you can try one of those!
Both are equally great sounding and have their uses
Nice! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I think they're both beautiful, though the first sounds more calming and there's just something about it! 😊
Yes! 👏🏼
You will love both, you need both 😶
Yes! 👍🏼
I have both and I play them according to the vibe. Just get a parlor acoustic with a wide nut like a classical and they will be very similar to play.
Nice, very true. 👍🏼
I have always liked the sound of nylon strings
I appreciate both 👍🏼
For the piece you chose, steel is definitely more impactful. It all comes down to what sort of mood you are trying to convey.
Exactly 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Have both, nylon is the one I record, and play the most with
Niceee 👍🏼
Nylon gives me zen garden vibes I have a steel string and really want a nylon
I recommend getting a nylon! They inspire different tunes to come out of you comprares to a steel string!
Get a classical, good to have both guitars so you can play every style of acoustic
Classical sound is so relaxing than steel strings...Definitely i would go to a classical guitar this time...love from SL😩💗🇱🇰
Yes the sound is more warm 👏🏼 thanks for tuning in! 😃
I love them both. Different feelings of warmth and depth, it's both relaxing and fun 🥰❤️🔥
Classical is warmer and more mellow.
I agree 👍🏼
Both are very delicious sound ❤
Thank you friend 👊🏼
Nylon sounds like natural peace and steel sounds like joy of heart
Niceeee 👍🏼
i love the classical guitar.
Me too! 👍🏼
Sweet home Alabama is the first 3 chords you played
Steel definitely sounds better for this riff but for classical music nylon sounds better by a longshot.
Yeeeee 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Steel sounds like sunny morning and nylon sounds like evening or afternoon
Niceeee 👍🏼
Steel strings sound young and energetic while the nylon ones sound mature and soft spoken
What a good description! 👍🏼
Well, naturaly it depends on what type of music you're playing, for example fast spanish chords sound better with nylon.
However I prefer Steel
i know this might sound odd to you but,
i wanted to know how to pick the right strings and add the right notes to the chords like you just did. can you perhaps make a tutorial on it like how can one do that to any chord and make some beautiful sounding fingerpicking pattern and add a few notes here and there. It'd be great help. I'm subscribing.
I will look into making a video like that. Thanks for the suggestion!
The steel rang more clear and the nylon a warmer sound. Depending on what styles you play both may be required. Try flamenco / rumba on steel strings and see what happens .
That would probably hurt because of all the flicking and strumming you do with your fingers in those styles lol I’m sure it would sound cool though
@@orlanbro First time I tried it on ,y acoustic I shredded ,y nails into a nightmare in the first few seconds. Im getting some nylon ball end strings ... live and learn.
Classical vs Spanish guitar.
Spanish guitars were designed to sound louder and more striking to suit the stand alone nature of flamenco. would still be louder no matter your strings. Only thing that would change slightly is tone, and playability/how they feel
Nice description 👍🏼
changing the guitar also affects the sound i just now decided
Nylon has more resonance and volume, steel has character of metalic materials, metal verb, so if u need to play loud or to play with ensemble (classic as well) use nylon, if u need solos for pop songs or other easy types of songs use steel, it has a great layering under the vocals
Agreed! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I love nylon sounds so refreshing❤️🙏
Nice! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Though I love nylon because it doesn't hurt fingers that much but here steel is feeling so good.
I love both! 👏🏼
Digging the nylon
Niceee 👍🏼
Ive just switched to a yamaha ntx3 , so im team nylon. Warmer, easier to play , softer on the fingees 👍
Nice! Something about jamming on nylon feels more free sometimes
It's like a shy beauty vs a stage performer
🙈
Depends on what you're playing
I agree! ☝️
Beautifully played ❤
Thank you! 👏🏼
Reminds me of Maple vs Rosewood fingerboards Steel string sounds more twangy and bright…nylon sounds more warm and round
I love me a good rosewood fretboard 👏🏼
It also depends on the specific guitars. Also I have that martin. It sounds great
I love it! I recently adjusted the action on it and it sounds much better
I love steel string guitar that's how i learned to play on
Nice! I started on nylon 👏🏼
Lol. I wonder what the guitar center people thought when I brought in my hand me down acoustic with rusted strings and one missing, asking them to repair it. Lol. Find out this weekend. Either way, the employee that fixed it gets a handmade jade guitar pick.
lol niceeee
@@orlanbro idk. Figured it would be a nice way to repay them. They are already overworked as is. Figure I'll leave some jade pick blanks too.
Pick of Destiny?
First time heard someone playing the song of Isato Nakagawa
Could you tell me the name of this tune?
I've been using a Classical Yamaha for the past 4 years or so, but I also wanted an electro acoustic one, when I'm playing with an amplifier. The thing is size is important, so I ordered a Yamaha APX T2 OVS, which is 3/4, traveler. I got it 2 days ago, I'm still trying it, I have 14 days to change my mind. The thing is I love the sound of nylon and these steel ones hurt my fingers reaaaally bad. But the body is super small and I not sure how nylon strings will sound if I change them.
I have a small body steel string also and I love it! The neck is small so it’s much easier for playing
I’m so conflicted. I’ll just have both. 😜 Beautiful playing!!
I feel that! Lmao thanks! 👍🏼
Nylon feels rich♥️
Yes 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Simple tip :
If you wanna sing along while playing guitar or for chord progression -> Steel String western guitar
For fingerstyle playing and music pieces -> Nylon Classical Guitar 👍🏻
Nylon Strings anytime.
Niceeeee 👍🏼
Two distinct very nice sounds
I enjoy both 👍🏼
Steel ❤
Nice! 👍🏼
Nylon for many reasons. For me, I enjoy the tone a lot more and easier on my fingers so can play more
I like nylon for when I want to play without a pick!
@@orlanbro absolutely!
I love steel string guitars!!
Nice! 👍🏼
As a ukulelist i prefer nylon
Nice! 👍🏼
My sister has expensive steel guitar strings, but her guitar body is cheaper, I have an expensive guitar, but cheaper factory strings, 3 steel, 3 nylon, so, I have mixed feelings, which one would you play more often?
Fresh strings are always better I think 😬
The classic guitar with nylon strings is much warmer.
I agree 👍🏼
I like the nylon sound
Niceeee 👍🏼
Bro whichever you play sounds amazing
Thank you friend 🙏
@@orlanbroagreed, whatever you play sounds amazing. It's not just the guitar, it's who is playing it.
फिंगरस्टाइल गिटार के लिए नायलॉन गिटार स्ट्रिंग बेस्ट रहती है
Classical and flamenco (Spanish guitar) use nylon
So does polyphia! 😬
Sound Better Nylon String But But All Rounder Is Steel String ❤❤❤
Nice! 👍🏼
Which string is played on the guitar with one hand? Isn't nylon?
Nylon is more comfortable for the hand but there are no rules 👍🏼
with voice I think nylon will be better. my personal opinion though. and it won't hurt your finger.
Nice 👍🏼
Both great 🤙🏻
Nice! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Steel is brighter and the nylon is more laid back. Both are nice
Niceeee! 👍🏼
Beautiful melody.
Hands down, The Martin
That's a lot of yoshis!
I love them! I’m only missing the yellow one.
Nylon for this kind of music
Nice 👍🏼
sir can you give a tutorial of this theme/tabs that you played on guitar...it was sounding so pleasing💛💛
Hello! Thank you. I’ll see if I can do a tutorial. I’m just playing a D major chord a Cadd9 chord and a G major chord.
It's a variation of sweet home Alabama
steel sounds bright while nylon sounds warm
Yes 👍🏼
Lynyrd Skynyrd. ❤
I believe thats led zeppelin homie.
@@jefflancaster4423 it sounds like Your Time Is Gonna Come but I think the video maker was going for Sweet Home Alabama
Name of song?
I’m just playing chords but it sounds like sweet home Alabama
it depends on the guitar too, thats an acustic guitar, in a classic guitar the result would be the way around
Sweet home alabama but it's actually sounds like home
👏🏼
I have that same martin and same color
Nice! I’m playing mine at this moment! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 still love it.
Both have their own Quality...I prefer the Banjo twang of the Nylon strings more than than the twang of the steel...
Nice! 👍🏼
Steel is muddy, nylon is clean. What one wants is Personal preference. I love the steel... much more 🙏🙏
Nice 👍🏼
Both sound great. Nylon sounds more mellow and fat.
Agree! 👍🏼
Which is better, a girl or a girl? YOU DECIDE!!
Please please 🙏🙏 tell the tabs this tune is soo soo soothing please😊 please fast
It’s just a D chord a Cadd9 chord and a G chord with some hammer ons and pull offs And I’m finger picking with my right hand. It’ll be a little hard to get it to sound this smooth if you’re not used to finger picking. I don’t have tabs though 😅
@@orlanbrothanks bro I had got it after listening to it frequently 😊and trying to observe your hands which you had hidden 😂btw thanks anyway
@@atulyasingh5560 LOL I’ll make sure to show both hands in the next one. Thanks for watching and listening! 👊🏼
Nylon sounds warmer.
Yes 👍🏼
Love the nylon sound better tho …more like ukulele
I agree! Thanks 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Nylon string
Niceee 👍🏼
What microphone do you use? Can you recommend an affordable mic
For this one I think I just used the mic on my iPhone. On other videos I use a shure beta condenser microphone. I recommend it!
I like to mix it up. My last two strings are nylon and the others are metal.
Yoooo that’s cool 👏🏼
I got a vintage guitar recently and it had 3 bottom strings nylon
What brand of each one would you you recommend me ? Thanks open advices
For nylon I recommend cordoba or Yamaha they make good quality instruments for any price level. And for steel string I would go with something like Washburn or fender for starting out. They also make good quality instruments that are easy to play.
