BAD BAD!!! DON'T USE PICKS ON NYLON STRINGS!!! That poor guitar D':

All of them are nylon, the other three are nylon with metal coiled around.
And if the other three are 100% metal strings, that's even WORSE for the guitar. D':

Let me explain, then. Look at the head stock (the place where the strings attach at the top)That shape (where the strings go on little rollers inside the headstock) of the headstock means it's a classical guitar. Those little rollers are usually made of soft plastics, and on the REALLY nice Classical guitars, they're made of a hard wax. This fact means Classical Guitars like that need to have nylon or gut strings (On most nylon strings, the 3 lowest strings have a springy coating, or wound, of metal on them to keep them strong enough to be tuned properly.) Gut and nylon strings are very fragile when compared to metal strings, and should be played with fingerpicking style or should be strummed with the fingers. Nylon and Gut strings should never EVER e played with a pick. The strings will break within a week if they're played with a pick.

my friend has a nylon stringed guitar and plays it with a pick regularly, she's had it for around 5 years and has only ever broken one string.... =/ and that was when she was fingerpicking!
odd

Nylon Strings rarely break. They usually stretch until they're dead and won't tune up anymore. Picks will make nylon strings go dead faster. I've only ever had one string break, and that was in the middle of the night. When NOTHING was happening to it.

Break means the same thing as go dead. I call dead strings broken ones.

I did. You're just not listening to me and trying to use my words against me. It's not working because you didn't listen to my last message.

How am I not making sense? I've explained everything thoroughly and normally.
I'm about 95% certain you're trolling.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
trolling??? no i literally don't understand what you're saying
do the strings break or not due to finger picking cos you said both
you said they break
you said they rarely break
you said they go dead faster
and you also sid by "going dead" you mean break....
hence do they break or not?!

I can't really explain it much simpler.
do the strings break or not due to finger picking cos you said both (They go Dead, which is the equivalent of breaking)
you said they break (Go dead, break, what's the difference?)
you said they rarely break (They rarely SNAP)
you said they go dead faster (A pick WILL CAUSE NYLON STRINGS TO GO DEAD FASTER. I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY TIMES I'VE RESTATED THIS)
and you also sid by "going dead" you mean break....
hence do they break or not?! (If a broken string is considered the same as a dead string, then YES.)

what's the difference between "break" and snap?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
In this context, break (Also, to go dead) means that something is wrong with the string, making it unplayable or at a quality that is too low to sound good or be functional. Snap means part of the string physically separates from another part, due to tension. Strings made of nylon rarely snap, but when used with a pick, they break (a.k.a. go dead) very easily.
Nylon strings should never be used with a pick, (unless it's a felt pick) in order to maintain the integrity of the strings.

oh well
if you wanna play with a pick then i think it's fine, strings for a classical guitar are so cheap so it doesn't matter if they break....
