	Guitarnotes, Classical Guitar Centre for International Mail Order & Hand Built Classical Guitars
		The generation of Spanish composers after Manuel de Falla, included most famously Antonio Jose and of course Joaquin Rodrigo.
		However, recent interest in and performances of music by other Spanish composers from these early decades of the 20th Century has increased, showing that a substantial body of composers were writing innovative and creative music for the guitar.

	Classical guitar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A classical guitar, also called a Spanish guitar, is a musical instrument from the guitar family.
		Traditionally, the tuning pegs (or "keys") at the head the fingerboard of a classical guitar point backwards (towards the player when the guitar is in playing position; perpendicular to the plane of the fretboard).
		This is in contrast to a traditional steel-string guitar design, in which the tuning pegs point outward (up and down from playing position; parallel to the plane of the fretboard).

	Acoustic Guitar History
		Italy was the center of guitar world during the 17th century, and the the Spanish school of guitar making only began to flourish late in the 18th century after the addition of the sixth string.
		Guitar music became especially popular in Spain and Antonio de Torres developed the Spanish guitar in its modern form, with a broadened body, increased waist curve, thinned belly, improved internal bracing, single string courses replacing double courses, and a machined head replacing wooden tuning pegs.
		Andres Segovia, a Spanish guitarist who lived from 1893 to 1987, helped establish the guitar as a concert instrument, adapting it to the complex music of modern composers and transcribing early polyphonic music.

	Rickenbacker Electro Spanish Guitar
		The Electro Spanish guitar functions as a solidbody instrument, and the series of hollowed-out chambers hidden beneath the fitted-dome covers do not add any beneficial acoustic properties to the instrument's sound; the cavities are there for the sake of efficient mold design, and save both in weight and in material.
		The patent for the Rickenbacker Electro Spanish guitar was filed by George E. Beauchamp on May 26, 1936, and granted in 1939.
		The bodies of both the Hawaiian and Spanish models appear to be made from the same mold, a fact that accounts for the inconvenient placement of the 1/4" female phone jack; the jack is laterally mounted on the bass side of the guitar, several inches off center.

	1924 Hermann Hauser Sr
		Unlike Spanish guitars which increase about 10mm from the neck to the end in depth, the 1924 Hauser, like many German instruments of the period, increases in depth from the neck to the waist, and then becomes shallower again.
		While Romanillos goes on to say that the Spanish guitar is more lightly built, and is designed to get the soundboard and the air cavity to vibrate at their optimum, the 1924 Hauser, too, is a remarkably light guitar, and the whole instrument vibrates when played.
		This guitar suggest that Hauser was not a mere copyist, but a true innovator who brought considerable knowledge to the Spanish tradition and enriched it.

		Roni’s artistry and incomparable guitar technique is both wild and refined, producing a sound that is as edgy and exotic as it is romantic and sensual.
		With Flamenco guitar in the forefront, the clapping and fast percussion demonstrated how integral the beats are in the overall execution of the music, lending to the imagery of growing up in an old Latin neighborhood in the summertime.
		The tangos, (sans guitar, with clapping, heels and voices) are equally exhilarating with a stellar choreography featuring a tantalizing merger of old and new, with an ever-present sensuality.

		Outside of the U.S., 'Spanish Guitar' is the second single from this resurrected R&B singing sensation's current smash album, 'The Heat', her third.
		The spanish guitars aren't used nearly as much in this remix as they are in the other versions, which some may say is a good thing, depending on your view of the flamenco sound.
		But this one steers clear of the vocoder vocals that we are used to from these guys, they keep the guitars working through the whole mix, but they also still keep some of their sound to the remix through the throbbing backbeat.
