I've been playing the uke for a little over a year now and I'm doing really well if I do say so myself. Before that I spent literally years trying to learn how to play guitar with zero success. I've since picked up the guitar again to see if I can transfer some of my uke skillz and try and redeem all those wasted years of 6 string hell. Alas I'm still not having any luck, mad guitar shredding still eludes me.
I'm starting to wonder, is it the strings? I've only ever tried, steel stringed acoustic and electric guitars. One of the things I love about the uke is how the strings feel. All silky and supple. I'm thinking about picking up a classical guitar with some nice nylon strings and giving that a whirl. Might change my guitar luck so to speak.
I guess my question/point is have any of you experience anything similar in your uke/guitar crossovers and do you think the strings are the things?
And as an aside, can a steel string acoustic guitar be strung with nylon or gut strings and remain playable?
Discuss.
Thanks,
Cary
