To begin your study of the Flamenco style of guitar-playing, you do not need a guitar made especially for Flamenco music. All that you need is a Spanish type of guitar – one with nylon strings. Do not purchase a pricey guitar before you have some experience in selecting instruments, for that could result in a costly mistake. Start with a modest instrument, then work your way through the basics before you incur a major expense.
Make sure of your commitment to study Flamenco music before you make you purchase these next items, for these pieces of equipment cannot be removed without risking damage to your guitar. Golpeadores, or tapping-plates, are not necessary at the very beginning. You will need to buy them eventually, should your guitar not already have them installed. You can buy self-adhesive golpeadores at most guitar shops.
