Classical Acoustic
Can someone describe the difference between the performance of Classical guitar and Acoustic guitar?
I found articles about it and I've read them but I don't quite get the difference between the performance of both instruments...
Is there a difference in the sound if you strum on a Classical guitar and an Acoustic guitar?Cause I just want to learn the instrument which strums,I don't want to learn an instrument where you need to pick.
I wasn't really asking for physical differences.
I'll just boil the question to a really simple one then.
Which gives a better sound in strumming.
Also which one is meant for strumming.(I know both can be played through picking but I want strumming to be the main "way" of performing the instrument.)
I would say the steel string acoustic would give a better sound than the nylon string classical. Heres why:
1. Steel string acoustics have small neck width, which brings the strings closer together, so when you strum it there is less sound separation between the strings than a classical.
2. A classical guitar will never be able to produce the amount of volume a Dreadnought acoustic guitar can. Even if you strum hard enough on a classical the sounds will get distorted because the bracing on the classical are much much lighter and weaker than a steel string guitar. The classical is for a more intimate type of playing, but the dreadnought is for smackin down.
