I guess the term "proper technique" is what raises the hair on the back of my neck a little and keeps me responding to this thread.
I use the guitar primarily to accompany the voice and supply the breaks. I have played for 50 plus years and have owned too many classical guitars to remember.
When I first bought a nylon string guitar with a radiused fret board, 1 7/8th nut and a slim truss rod neck, I knew I would never buy a true classical again.
This is the reason I think, "nylon string guitar" is too broad a subject. The crossovers and hybrids are reaching out and converting steel string player to play nylon who never would consider one 20 years ago. Their technique, if not "proper" is no less correct and sound great.
I can sit down and play a classical riff next to true classical guitarist playing one of mine...neither sounding bad but neither doing it "proper"...but we would be enjoying each others music...even though mine is on a strap and his(or hers) is on his(or her) knee.
