The flamenco guitar differs from the classical guitar in the instrument itself and in the\u00a0technique used to play it. The role of the guitar in flamenco was originally a rhythmic accompaniment to give the song an organized structure and a driving force. Today however the solo flamenco guitarist uses techniques from the classical school, and this is why the soloist has become a separate art of its own. It is not actually known when the guitar entered flamenco as an accompanying instrument, but many put its introduction around the early nineteenth century.<\/span><\/p>\n

The birth of the solo guitarist came into being during the caf\u00e9 cantante period, and has since gone on to be recognized worldwide. Guitarists such as Sabicas<\/em><\/strong><\/a> were responsible for the promotion of the flamenco guitar in America, and scores of others have carved lucrative careers becoming virtuosos of the solo instrument.<\/span><\/p>\n
