      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.

      @Hexalyse 4 месяца назад +17

      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 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...

    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!

    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.

    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.
