Default Tickling The Nylons

A funky little blues piece, played on an ancient, trashy nylon string guitar that has been in hard use by students and pupils for maybe forty years. Unknown brand, but according to sticker on headstock, it’s got a «steel reinforced neck». Not bad.

I wish i had some nylons -- my steel strings record too harsh since I'm a heavy-handed strummer.

Love it. I think 'trashy nylon stringed guitars' have a certain expressive tone that can't be matched by steel strings. I have a crappy nylon guitar myself that I bought for 100 Euros. It is always out on the stand, so it gets played much more than the good steel stringed ones in their coffins, and I can play most genres on it, it's very versatile.
Anyway, good video and sound, well done!
