What I mean by difference is not the actual guitar itself, which now i know, thanks to Smartone (check out his column) :) there is one... I mean the actual style of the playing. Let me give an example. If I were playing clasical guitar in a renaissance style, i would learn different combinations, that would lead people to think renaissance when they heard it, rather than spanish. So assuming I am using a basic 6 string classical guitar, if i asked someone to teach me flaminco style instead of asking them to teach me spanish style, would there be a noticable difference in what i was playing? or are the sounds too similar to tell the difference? Or is "flaminco" completly a matter of playing on a "flaminco guitar"? Hope I made that more clear. .

You are asking...what are the differences between Spanish and Flamenco guitar techniques and strumming patterns. I think if you studied the two, in depth, as a master guitarist would, then you would see a world of difference. Similar to the difference between country music and bluegrass and zydeco. To the discerning ear, there is a huge difference. To the uneducated ear, not so much.

The noticeable difference would be in the educated or uneducated ear of the listener. In other words, if you played Spanish Guitar for your mother, and told her it was Flamenco, she'd give you a standing ovation!
