A flamenco guitar is a guitar similar to a classical guitar, but with lower action, [1] thinner tops and less internal bracing. It usually has nylon strings, like the classical guitar, but it generally possesses a livelier, more gritty sound compared to the classical guitar. [2] It is used in toque, the guitar-playing part of the art of flamenco.
Historically (for baroque guitars, right up to classical or romantic repertoire of Sor and Mertz) the free-stroke was used. One of the first classical guitarists to use the rest-stroke was the Spaniard Julian Arcas (1832–1882) [5] (and it may have been used by Jose Ciebra as well [6]), though it was already in use for flamenco music.
The romantic guitar, in use from approximately 1790 to 1830, was the guitar of the Classical and Romantic period of music, showing remarkable consistency in the instrument's construction during these decades. By this time guitars used six, sometimes more, single strings instead of courses.
Classical and flamenco guitars historically used gut strings, but these have been superseded by polymer materials, such as nylon and fluorocarbon. Modern guitar strings are constructed from metal, polymers, or animal or plant product materials. "Steel" strings may be made from alloys incorporating steel, nickel or phosphor bronze.
The following is a non-comprehensive list of composers who have composed original music for the classical guitar, or music which has been arranged for it. This list is sortable by name, nationality and years of birth or death.

After plucking, the finger does not touch the string that is next lowest in pitch (physically higher) on the guitar, as it does with apoyando
