How well can would I be able to play Linkin Park on an Acoustic guitar - steel string were I to purchase one. How would the sound compare and how would the playing style differ. Send me some video covers please?


Answer
Well you definately could, it just might not be the same as apposed to a normal version. Do you want a steel string guitar, or a steel guitar? Because I steel string acoustic guitar wouldnt be unusal, theres plenty Linkin park acoustic covers, but a steel guitar might be different. If you playing acoustic, you should be fine, you might just need to use some downtunings. Im not sure if you play guitar or not actually lol, but downtune tuners are easy enough to finf online on Google or whatever. Maybe you can just use the downtunings and lookuo the chords.
Hope I helped:)
By the way, sorry If you already play guitar haha

can you put nylon strings on a steel string acoustic guitar?

nylon sounds alot better but i want to keep the acoustic i have now. Is it proper to put nylon on an acoustic guitar meant for steel strings?


Answer
As others have said, it is not recommended because the steel-string neck is meant to handle the tension of steel strings, and nylon strings have much less tension. It won't do any immediate damage, especially if you loosen your truss rod a full turn or two to compensate. But if you keep the nylon strings on for too long your neck may twist or warp irreversibly.

I don't recommend doing it, but if you want to try it anyway, get nylon strings with ball ends (Martin makes Darco strings with ball ends, and there are also Black Diamond strings with ball ends).

Putting nylon strings on a steel-string guitar is not nearly as bad as putting steel strings on a nylon-string guitar -- whatever you do, don't do that!
