There's also a few more differences I probably could have covered, but I didn't - 'cause I suck like that.
Yeah, I'm a classical guitarist by training - and was able to get a couple of years of formal training for flamenco.
Sadly, throughout my career, nobody ever screamed out for anything like Für Elise. When they do, I'll be ready!

LOL! Don't hold your breath, dude.
And, yeah, there might be fine points you didn't mention, but I think you got the general idea across: flamenco guitars are built for "crispness" and attack, while classical guitars are more about sustain and proper intonation for each plucked note.
One of these days, I might write some more about tone-woods, and the variations there as well.
LOL I sometimes get requests for flamenco or classical in my weekly guitar thread on Voat. There's a few folks that enjoy them.
Alas, my career was playing pretty much everything except classical. For a while, I did quite a bit of session work and I'd try to incorporate bits of classical nuance into the recording but a requirement was often that they had to be able to mostly replicate it live and outside of the confines of the comfy studio. It's an interesting limitation to work with.
How long have you been playing?
DO FUR ELISE!
Here ya go:
Here's the eldest hoodlum doing rhythm and myself doing lead on Zeppelin's Communication Breakdown. Hot off the press!
Yeah I am over there now watching. I'll have plenty of listening material for the drive home.
LOL Gimme a few - I already have it recorded and uploaded.
Gotta get the guitar thread open - it's time.
