Acoustic guitar or Classical guitar?
I’m a lead/rhythm guitarist in a metal band, and I want to take things slow and easy back downward to soft songs. I’ve borrowed my friend’s unused Classical guitar, learned Romance De Amor, or something, i forgot the name, but the only songs I could play are metal songs on the classical guitar, although I did study the finger plucking with it, and I seem to be good at it. Now, If i were to buy a wooden guitar, should I get a steel string or a nylon string? Is the steel string also good for finger/spanish music? Is the classical guitar also good for acoustic metal songs?
Although, I heard that you could play good solo-type songs on the acoustic guitar… true? I just checked out Larrivee guitar demos on youtube, and they seem cool, especially the Guitars Of Pikesville guy. Well, I don’t know, i can’t decide for myself.
Sorry, I meant Steel-String for Acoustic and Nylon String for Classical.
A classical guitar is an acoustic guitar. I assume you’re referring to a steel string flattop guitar, which is much more versatile for acoustic playing. A classical guitar is used almost exclusively for playing classical music. If that’s not what you’re interested in then it’s the wrong guitar for you.
With a classical guitar you can only play fingerstyle but with a steel string flattop guitar you can play fingerstyle or use a use a pick. This gives you a much wider range of music to be played. Larrivee makes fine steel string flattop guitars, not the very best on the market but still in a class with highly respected names like Martin and Taylor. Their L and OM series are especially fine sounding.
