Can you play flamenco on a classical guitar?
flamenco guitars usually don't have the same sustain on higher notes versus a classical. Often on the newer ones, the action is set lower (the height of the strings over the neck)...But you can absolutely play flamenco on a classical, I have been doing so for the last 5 or six years at least.

Should I learn classical guitar before flamenco?
A lot of classical guitar right hand techniques are performed very differently in flamenco, so you will need to re-learn them (picado, tremolo, rasgeo, etc.) The rhythms in classical music are extremely simple compared to flamenco; Starting with flamenco from the get go will give you more time to concentrate on them.
