FAQ About The Role of Flamenco Guitar in Spanish Cultural Expression
How does Flamenco guitar differ from classical guitar?
Flamenco guitars differ from classical guitars in several ways. Flamenco guitars are typically lighter and have a lower string action to accommodate rapid fingerwork. They also use different types of woods, such as cypress or sycamore, which contribute to a sharper, more percussive sound. The playing technique for Flamenco involves distinctive finger strumming and tapping, which differs considerably from classical guitar techniques.
