To play flamenco properly, you need a flamenco guitar. No electric will ever cut it. Most nylon string acoustics won't do either, you need a flamenco guitar, one with the proper golpe plates and so on.

As for technique, find a teacher. Flamenco is a VERY rigid style, with no margin for bad habits or strange peculiarities. If you try and learn flamenco without a teacher you WILL **** it up and teach yourself bad habits that will have to be un-learned later.
