Greetings from O'Brien Guitars 

I don't know about you,  but I always learn something by visiting other luthiers' shops or watching videos or interviews about other luthiers. A few years ago I spent some time in Spain with Spanish luthier, Paco Chorobo, of Chorobo Guitars. We filmed the Online Flamenco Guitar Building Course together. In this course we not only show how to build a true Flamenco guitar using traditional Spanish construction methods, but we also take the viewer on a tour of Southern Spain. We traveled extensively and interviewed other luthiers to learn their perspectives on how to make a Flamenco guitar. We also interviewed Flamenco historians, dancers, singers, guitar players, percussionists, and dance instructors. This course is a true Flamenco documentary into the construction of the instrument as well as the culture surrounding it. The final chapter is Paco performing on the instrument built in the course in a professional concert in Granada. 
Recently Paco was interviewed in his shop in Spain and a video was made of this interview. It gives a quick look into Paco's philosophy of building. 
Paco Chorobo · Historias de Luz
In August of this year Paco will be teaching a one week class at the O'Brien Guitars workshop in Parker, Colorado. In this class four students will have the opportunity to build their own Flamenco guitar using traditional Spanish methods under the watchful eye and proven teaching techniques of Paco. Students will leave with the guitar and all the jigs needed to continue building. The class is already full but a waiting list is being created for possible future classes. If interested in having your name placed on this list please contact me
 
If you are interested in learning to build guitars or just want
to see how I build my guitars then schedule a class with me.
If you are in need of a concert quality classical or steel string
guitar then let me know as I would love to build a guitar for you.

Thank you,
