I started on nylon in about 1968, then primarily an electric player for 4+ decades. Now I've reacquainted with a crossover nylon, and I am playing altogether different signatures and chordal patterns than have ever occurred to me on steel string. The feel is more humble, and that has improved my articulation and listening. When I play with others, it's still electric, or steel string, but my practice sessions have become much more rewarding on the nylon string. I like it better for singing cause my voice isn't really loud. Hang in there, it really gets better with time.
