What's easier to play with on an acoustic guitar; steel string or nylon?
I've been teaching myself guitar for a couple of weeks now and my guitar has steel strings, but they dig into the skin of my finger and use to hurt really bad (ESPECIALLY when I played "F" on the first string with my pointing finger). But now Im used to it and it doesn't hurt anymore. But should I switch to nylon?
You typically CAN put nylon strings on a steel string guitar. You would have to buy the nylon strings with the ball end. However, nylon strings have a different feel, sound, tone, and are meant for a particular style of music. They are not mean to be strummed with a pick either. Nylon strings, also known as classical strings are meant for a classical guitar. The guitar is a bit different as in the fretboard is flatter and wider. Nylon strings are softer to the fingers, but you will just get used to playing on steel strings after a few weeks once you develop some calluses.
You should really make the judgement based on the style of music you are playing. If you want to play electric guitar or music thats done on a standard steel string acoustic guitar, stick with that. If you want to venture into classical, flamenco, etc... then I would suggest getting a real classical guitar.
