Steel strings or nylon sounds sweeter?!
Question:
Steel strings or nylon sounds sweeter?
I like to play love songs, so which one is more suitable for me?
Answers:
I play both steel string and classical nylon string guitars, and both are nice for love songs. Both sound great for fingerstyle arrangements.
You get more volume and a somewhat fuller sound on the steel string guitar, and this is beneficial if you are strumming a lot . Most country singers use steel strung guitars, although Willie Nelson is a notable exception. I find the sound of a nice classical guitar to be more soothing, and particularly good for slow, intimate love ballads.
Nylon is definitely easier on your fingers.
