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.

Hi Dorst, having spent an evening in the company of a very accomplished UK duo on Friday last, the Eden-Stell duo (check them out if you ever get the chance) I can honestly say that here were two Classically trained individuals who performed Classics to Blues, with a little avante guarde Jazz & experimental compositions in between. All on Nylon strung machines. I did'nt realise that so many sound variations were possible ans as for carrying off the genere's they just about floored me. I certainly won't pidgeon hole players in future on the basis of what I saw.
Oh PS, why not try PEO Kindgren on YOU TUBE, his Beatles rendidtions also stand out
Very best
