Oh... it is Rodrigo y Gabriela in their "official video" playing thin bodied nylon string guitars plugged in. In lots of songs, Gabriela plays somewhat Flamenco style rhythm while Rodrigo is more the lead player (using a pick).

I cannot bring myself to call their music, or even their instruments "classical". Does "Classical" bother me as a Forum Title? Not really, now that I have some clue about what is inside.

Nylon String Guitars should just be with Acoustic Guitars
{General Acoustic Guitar Discussion (### Viewing)
A place to discuss anything related to acoustic guitars} That being said, thats where we should talk about Nylon string guitars.

Classical is a Period in time.

Don't know. Medieval 500–1400
William Byrd = Renaissance 1400–1600
Bach = Baroque 1600–1760
Mozart = Classical 1730–1820
Beethoven = Romantic 1780–1910
and so on

I recall that what many call a "classical guitar" these days used to be called a "Spanish guitar". My general usage is that the traditionally-built instrument is called a Spanish guitar, the music is called Classical guitar [music], and that there are a number of instruments out there I would call nylon-string guitars. Spanish guitars are a sub-set of nylon string guitars.

Non-standard perhaps, but I generally define my terms when I'm talking to someone on the subject.

Its an Acoustic guitar = Taken from google a guitar that does not require electrical amplification, having a hollow body that amplifies the vibrations of the strings.
if it has Nylon, Gut, Bronze, Phosphor Bronze, Nickel, Pure Nickel, so on.

So where should I post my questions about Bach compositions?

+1. Who would feel left out, slighted, or inconvenienced by subforum labeled "Nylon String?" I can imagine, however, that more newcomers may initially try "classical guitar" in their search engine.

But "classical guitar" would still be picked up in the search engines due to the description of the sub-forum. So no fears there.

Being a member of the Classical Guitar Forum online, I pretty much try to stay out of the way and underfoot of the membership/administration that are completely caught up in all things "classical music" generated for guitar revolving around the solo guitarist style of established fingerpicking based on the works of the Masters and established players of those works. I like having access to the archives, etc. even though I do not play nylon in this fashion or have any desire to do so, even though I do appreciate the great works old and new. I think the subforum is fine as is considering it holds a place setting for the likes of me to gobble my food. http://www.classicalguitardelcamp.com/

Classical is a term that obviously means many different things to many different people. Proving the term is polysemic. In spite of what each individual who believes it means some particular thing. Which kind of proves that's what it is. By definition. Leave it well enough alone.

What happened to "I'm done"? Guess you were using a polysemic interpretation of the word "done".

....just teasing. Clearly you are very passionate about this topic and nothing anyone else says will sway your opinion. That's cool....

We also need a Silk and Steel sub-forum. And a Polyvinylidine Fluoride sub-forum. And a Coated Bass Strings sub-forum. Or maybe we just divide up the forum using all the various headers found in the Strings By Mail site.
