I recently purchased an Esteban guitar - acoustic steel string which for the money seems an excellent value to me so far, especially since I am combining Esteban's teaching DVDs with Guitar Trick's lessons.

But Esteban had his classical (nylon string/wider neck) on special and I was wondering if I should have started on a classical before the steel string....although my fingers have toughened up already, but I don't want to wait too long as the guitar will sell out since it is on special.

What do you think....and what is your brief experience that supports your view please.
