What's the difference between classical guitar and folk guitar? Which is simpler?

The most fundamental difference is that the classical guitar is a nylon string, which is deep and elegant. Folk guitar is a steel string, crisp and bright;

The main differences are as follows:

1, from the appearance:

Folk guitar: the neck is thin and long, and the barrel type is diversified. The total length of the most classic D type is about 104cm 3 1 inch, and that of the classic OM type is about 10 1cm 40 inches. At the junction of the fingerboard and the guitar case, the fingerboard is 14, and the overall level is generally 22. The case is generally larger than the classical guitar.

Classical guitar: the neck is thick and short, and the barrel shape is basically similar, with little change. The effective chord length of the core parameter is about 650mm, and the total length is about 100cm 39 inches. The joint between the fingerboard and the guitar case is 12, and the total score is generally 19.

2. In terms of material and timbre: the steel string used for folk guitar is crisp, bright, modern and loud. The classical guitar uses nylon strings, which are soft and mellow, subtle and warm, but the volume is very low.

3. Style: The pillow of folk guitar is generally about 42.8-44.5mm, which is more important than playing modern music. However, sometimes modern pop music is accompanied by classical guitar, and the standard width of the pillow of classical guitar is 52mm, so the fingerboard of classical guitar is wider, which is suitable for solo, ensemble, concerto and accompaniment to play classical songs.

4. There are differences in learning methods:

Folk guitar: I usually play and sing by myself, so I have great freedom in learning. Generally speaking, the introduction is relatively simple, but we should work hard on the types and rhythms of accompaniment.

Classical guitar: in the process of learning, you need to go through formal posture, training and step-by-step study and practice. Strictness and professionalism are the characteristics of improving classical guitar learning.
