Classical Guitar Played With A Pick
happyjazzer

Anybody out there play a nylon strung guitar with a pick? If so what type of string suited--normal / high / hard / extra hard strings? What were the make of string and type of string made from? Flamenco strings maybe? Good sound?
Anybody tried Gypsy Guitar strings on a classical guitar? Results?

The first string recommendation I would make is to not put steel strings--even Argentines--on a classical guitar. They're just not built for the tension. Stick with nylon.
yeah definitely nothing but nylon strings ever.
you can put high tension strings on depending on the guitar, but they could potentially damage a nicer guitar.
People who use the nylon strings guitar in this genre, like Rocky G and Sebastien G, simply use the nylon guitar of their choice and a pick. I would guess, as far as the strings tension, they use whatever strings they like normally.
Love this tune, dunno what strings Serge was using though: Ciocarlia (Romanian traditional horas) Hungarian Romani Josef Szalai x Serge Camps - YouTube
