Strange, I don't see anything being wasted.
Agreed.
I viscerally hate the plastic sound of wired nylon strings for any style, be it flamenco or pop; on the other hand I love how the pure sound of a blanca applies to any music, regardless.
I think Escribano can see my youtube searches. This morning I searched for “Country Music on Nylon Strings” to see if and how anyone else is playing country music on a flamenco guitar. Call me a “hilly billy mountaineer redneck” but I liked the experiment (even though this thick blue grass ain’t exactly my th’ng).

Well, I like Bluegrass and I like Willie Nelson as well. Just as I like Sex Pistols and shostakovitch string quartets etc. So I dont have any problems with the upload.
But as a purist, I prefer bluegrass on a steelstring guitar and I like when they wear cowboy hats.

Two words: Willie and Nelson
True dat. My absolute favorite non-flamenco nylon stringer. At the height of my fandom I counted sixty five records in my collection.
I call this:
2 1 2 1 X X
“The Willie Nelson Chord”, mostly because I’m too lazy to find out what it’s actually called, but also ‘cause I learned it from watching a video of him. I though it was the coolest sounding thing ever, and I couldn’t figure out what the hell it was. Had to stand in front of the TV and lean over and crane my neck until my head was upside down before I could figure out how he was fingering the chord.

Patrick I've loved this thread. It really brings back memories. Back in the day it was Duelling Banjos first got me interested in learning to play the guitar. I know it's old-hat now, but at the time I'd never heard anything like it. It still gives me a buzz.

D#dim7 is a better.
Not better; equally good/possible. That's the thing with diminished seventh chords, taken out of context there's no way of knowing because any of the four notes could be the root, and you can't say what key it's in without seeing how it resolves or how it's spelled. And I doubt that Willie spells these things.
[N.B. I am not a nerd. That's just the way it is with dim7 chords.]
