Nylon string necks

In your class you mentioned that you enjoy playing classical guitar. I love the Willie Nelson and TexMex sound and am starting to learn some. Anders has a video doing El Paso with nice examples. As I head in this direction, do you advise using a traditional classical guitar or one of those new nylon string acoustic/electric with a modified neck? 

I play a Cordoba acoustic/electric nylon string for the Spanish/Classical style I play sometimes. Here's a video of myself and a friend (who also plays a Cordoba acoustic/electric) playing 'Malagueña':

The electric feature allows us to plug into a PA to boost volume when we play bigger venues. The necks aren't much different than a standard nylon string classical guitar. So, in answer to your question I would go the acoustic/electric route.

That is fantastic. Okay, anybody lurking here needs to watch that video. Sheesh. 

Dave is performing his own backing track while he plays. Even the guy that is "accompanying" Dave looks amazed.

That is a bit mysterious. 

Hey crile,

I hope I didn't confuse you when I said Dave was performing his own backing track. That was just a bit of hyperbole. I was merely voicing my amazement at Dave's ability to strum, pick. and slap his guitar simultaneously.

and I thought you were referring to the boombox...
