Once a year I offer Virtual Classes on French polish and Acoustic Guitar Voicing. These interactive classes offered via the Zoom platform are offered only once a year and generally fill quickly. All you need to participate is a computer with a Mic and camera. Students will be able to see and exchange ideas and questions with each other and myself as I present the material. It is a great way to learn without having the time or expense of traveling to my shop.   

VIRTUAL CLASS DATES for 2023:  
The Voicing class will be held March 5, 12 and 19. The French polish class is scheduled for April 16, 23 and 30. There are three class sessions of approximately 2 hours for each course and there will be homework assignments to be completed before each class. All classes begin at 8:00AM MT (Colorado) (10AM Eastern and 7AM Pacific) and are interactive with live Q&A, multiple camera angles and streamed in HD to the comfort of your own shop.
Below are some comments from students about last year's classes. Contact me if interested in participating in this year's classes.
 
 
  
  

I must say after reading countless complex methods of voicing etc. that your class was a fantastic eye opener. Your way of teaching is wonderful. Your way of teaching is a nicely distilled and simplified take that helped to sort through the mounds of voicing techniques. Again I cannot say how much I enjoyed your class enough. After countless online videos, articles, books and how to's on voicing, your class made it click! You are a fantastic teacher and I look forward to learning more! Have a great day and Happy making! - Aaron

I am a furniture maker and recently purchase your Shellac video class. I tried you process on a jewelry box and I could not be more happy. The results were superb and I thank you for sharing your process. - Doug 

I would like to express deep gratitude for your French polish course. By far the best result I have been able to get from a French polish technique! Thank you for making it available. - Ben

I built a new guitar recently with a design I did from scratch. On this guitar I used the directions in your arm bevel video and the directions from your French polish course. Both were great and easy to follow. I watched another builder's French polish course and it was so complicated, I was ready to abandon the idea until I watched yours. - Mark

I have been looking for years for a finishing method that produces spectacular results. I think I finally found it. - Bryan

I purchased your video on French Polishing a guitar. This was the first time I had taken this approach to finishing, and I was extremely please with the results. - Jeff

I’m wrapping up my second guitar, which I finished following your French Polish method. I’m really happy with the results. That’s for making those videos. - Eric

Your French polishing approach has really helped, particularly with soundboard finishing. I learned French polishing from (Well known luthier and finisher), but could never get the technique to work. - Bill

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,
