Diff between Spanish guitar method and Classical guitar method?

I’m a beginner guitarist and am using a classical guitar also known as a spanish guitar. My father gave me a very old (1935) "Spanish guitar method" book 1 by Nick Manoloff. When I looked into his other titles there was also his "Classical guitar method". Just wondering what the difference is being they’re both the same guitar.

A FLAMENCO guitar IS NOT THE SAME as a CLASSICAL guitar.. even the strings are different.

If you are just starting I would suggest you get some of the MEL BAY books (available online) and leave the classical and spanish playing go for a couple of years until you master the basics.

There is nothing wrong with learning on a Classical Guitar.. they are built so you MUST use proper technique to get the best out of them and you can’t say that for steel string acoustic guitars electric guitars.

Stay with your Classical guitar and learn the basics.. then go on from there. oh.. GET A GOOD GUITAR TEACHER… it will pay dividends in the future..
