Hi all,

I'm a complete newbie very interested in learning how to play guitar. I see that most here recommend nylon-string guitars for beginners. This works for me because I like classical guitar very much--but I also like folk, bluegrass, etc. Will getting a classical guitar limit the kind of music I can play on it? I like the idea of finger picking, and I'm thinking of getting a smaller, parlor sized model like the Motif by La Patrie. But maybe that's not such a great idea if I suspect I won't have the time necessary to learn classical, which seems more difficult. I guess I'll be able to learn the basics on most any stye guitar?

Thanks for your help.
