Unscriptural music

The nylon strings on a classical are easier on your fingers than the metal ones.

I've got to disagree with you, there, kitagirl. I've been playing guitar for about thirty years and I find that steel strings are much easier on your fingers because they're so much smaller in diameter.

Once you get your callouses built up, then you should be able to play either without any problems but if you're just learning, nylon strings can be brutal.

I thought the smaller steel ones tended to cut into soft fingers more.

kitagirl' date=' You ever hear of an acoustic player called Andy Mckee? I don't know anything about him, just what I've seen on YouTube and Wood Songs he is an amazing player and artist. He does Windham Hills type of relaxation music (it seems to me).[/quote']
I love Andy McKee!!! We were given a cassette of him several years ago when my hubby was in the hospital. Very good, soothing music. I belive he's a Christian - the people who gave us the tape knew his family.

Personally, I don't care for blue grass. However, I love Irish music. It's funny, they have the same roots, but they don't sound similar. The fellow in the clip is very talented!

No, the steel strings are smaller and because they're wound steel and not one continuous piece of material, like nylon strings, they give a little more.
