For most players, the realm of classical guitars is one that they'd
just as soon avoid. The scale length is different, the neck is wider,
and they're harder to play, so why bother? Why? Because the world of
the classical guitar is definitely one worth exploring and one that
will reap incredible rewards the more you explore it. A well-executed
classical passage within a rock song can give an air of class and
distinction to the music, not to mention adding a great break in the
middle of the song. Playing classical guitar, even if you use it
traditionally (playing simple fingerpicked parts, strumming and
single-note lines) can help your playing take a giant leap forward.

Classical guitars are very, very similar in their construction to
traditional acoustic guitars. The body is smaller, but the bracing
methods and wood types are simillar. The necks are wider to accommodate
your fingers, the nylon strings give the classical guitar its
distinctive tone, but most players with average-size hands find that
this transition isn't as difficult as they first may have pictured it.

What can a Classical guitar do for you?

Well, give it a try and you'll find out a whole new world.

I personally prefer a steel string folk guitar.

I've come to like the nylon strings for fiddle. Steel for guitar. I
prefer wax paper over cellophane for the kazoo.

Ditto, except I prefer toilet paper for the kazoo.

I've seen kazoo players use a hanky, ala Louis Armstrong, but I just
wipe it on my pant leg. I ain't a dandy.
