Technique

The fingerstyle is used fervently on the modern classical guitar. The thumb traditionally plucks the base or root notes where as the fingers ring the melody and its accompining parts. Francisco Tárrega, Emilio Pujol, Andrés Segovia

Repertoire

In the 20th century, many non-guitarist composers wrote for the instrument, which previously only players of the instrument had done. Francisco Tárrega (1852–1909), Roberto Gerhard (1896–1970), Heitor Villa-Lobos (1887–1959)
