That is not white nylon. It looks like a wound D string. Probably it’s just for warm up though. I imagine he used to change the E string before going to stage. you think he put a White wound d string on in place of the top E just for warm up? and then changed it while warming up and doing an interview less than an hour before playing when he says in the interview he doesn't have much time?! it might LOOK like a wound D string to you, maybe because the white nylon stands out from the clear nylon 3rd and 2nd, but how do you actually KNOW it is not a white nylon treble? Also, I have never seen a white plastic wound 4th/D string? who makes that? really, i have no idea what the string is in the video. but back on topic, having tried both metal and nylon wound 3rd strings (maybe 15 or 20 years ago) i can say they are very short lived (and so work out expensive) and IMO a bit of a pointless gimmick. So called "flamenco strings" are too, except Ricardo likes the red La Bella, and I think the Tomatito Savarez strings are good, at least on one of my guitars, but they are just Savarez Cantiga Creation with a pic of Tomatito on the pack! (sometimes I found the Cantiga packaging a bit cheaper, sometimes the Tomatito packaging cheaper, and once I got a Tomatito pack with the individual string paper envelopes inside the Cantiga version instead of paper envelopes with Tomatito on).
