classical guitar

Classical guitar is a traditional type of guitar designed for playing classical music, characterized by nylon strings that produce a warm, mellow sound. It typically has a wider neck and a smaller body compared to other guitars, allowing for precise finger positioning and complex fingerpicking techniques. Classical guitarists often use their fingertips rather than a pick, emphasizing finesse and dynamic control. The instrument’s design supports a wide range of expressions, from soft melodies to intricate, virtuoso passages. It is widely used in classical, flamenco, and Latin music, serving as both a solo instrument and part of ensembles.
