What is the difference between a folk guitar and a classical guitar?

Classical guitar is one of the most artistic guitar performances, and is known as one of the world's three major classical musical instruments along with piano and violin. It usually takes the form of a solo or duo, and generally focuses on playing the traditional classical **. It is widely popular all over the world.

The classical guitar has a beautiful and elegant shape, with a flat and slightly wider fretboard and a thicker amp. Fitted with three nylon strings and three metal strings (a thin wire wrapped around the nylon strings), the strings are pulled horizontally on the resonance box, and the strings are plucked with your fingers to pronounce the strings. There are a total of 19 frets, and 12 frets are at the interface between the fretboard and the speaker.

The sound hole is rounded and has no baffle underneath. Both the panel and the base plate are horizontal.

It was originally used as an accompaniment instrument in the rural West of the United States. It is usually used as an accompaniment to songs, with the American West countryside ** as the main performance theme. Folk guitars are slightly longer than classical guitars, with larger amps and square angles.

The fretboard is slightly thinner and has a curved surface. The sound hole is relatively large, and there is a baffle on the lower side. The fretboard is connected to the speaker by 14 frets (grids).

It is usually fitted with six metal strings.

The difference between the two guitars has been described upstairs quite clearly.

To add to the appearance: the neck of the folk guitar is thinner, and the classical is thicker, that is, the distance between the strings is slightly farther away, which means that the fingers of your left hand have to work harder.

Personally, I think that if you want to play the guitar as a career, classical guitar is better, because it will give you a deep foundation in the future. But if it's just a casual singing performance, then folk guitar is better. Of course, it also depends on what type of ** you personally prefer.

ps: I'm a classical student.

Folk guitars are mostly used for playing and singing, or for accompaniment The sound is brighter. It's easier to get started, and it's the easiest of all guitars. If you just want to play **, for solo, learn classical guitar.

The tone of the classical guitar is soft and euphemistic. However, when it comes to playing, fingering and playing are more demanding, and it is definitely necessary to practice more basic skills at the beginning. Learning classical guitar is also a good foundation for playing other guitars.

In addition, the classical guitar is a nylon string, and the folk guitar is a steel string.
