In this study, numerous examples in traditional and modern flamenco streams, which are composed of fusions and developments included in flamenco, from the culture of Andalucia and Gypsies to jazz music and operas are the subjects to be dealt with. Other methods which could be created by making use of the elements of modern guitar education and various flamenco combinations constitute an another dimension of the surveying process. In exploring the process of historical development of the instrument “guitar”, a wide geographical spectrum spreading from The middle eastern societies to Europe is encountered. In this process, interactions between the flamenco music and Turkish music can be evaluated from different points of view. It is seen that, this interaction is getting more and more obvious in recent years. At the same time, different musical styles’-such as oriental and electronic music- and varios reformist bands’ passion for flamenco has been increased more and more. These examples are particularly the most remarkable streams of the modern period. There is a big importance of dance and flamenco guitar’s special performance styles about flamenco art’s fast improvements in the different regions of the world. In the research, the different techniques and combinations of flamenco art and performance have been evaluated during its historical process.
