POST # 076 Juan Manual Canizares on difference between Flamenco and Classical Guitars

There are structural difference, such as the types of wood used, body depth, and the position of the bridge. One of the most important differences is that the strings on a flamenco guitars are closer to the frets to create the typical flamenco sound. – Juan Manual Canizares

It is more of a “broken” sound, especially with the fourth, fifth and sixth bass strings. It is a “nastier” sound, like when a singer’s voice cracks. Flamenco guitar is more aggressive, has more attack, and sometimes sounds less clear. – Juan Manual Canizares


Classical guitar is sweeter. The articulation and phrasing are softer, more elastic. Flamenco is much more rhythmic and percussive. - – Juan Manual Canizares
