    Jeezus H. If you’re going to do videos like this, put a microphone on the person your’re interviewing. Great topic, but lousy execution.

    About 2 1/2 years ago while living in Bozeman, I tried to get on with Gibson Guitars mostly to learn just how an acoustic guitar is made. Well those dicks DIDN’T hire me leaving lost in the wilderness as to what the processs is about. Thanks Dave for posting this littel series, and as always thank for doing what you guys do.

    I usually can remember classical song names. BUT I CAN’T REMEMBER THE SONG AT THE BEGINNING!

    Yargh! Could someone share with me the name of the song at the beginning? I’m having a major brain dead moment…

    My Dad learned guitar building at Roberto Venn back in the 70’s. He has a small shop in his back yard. Each of his guitars are hand made works of art and labors of love. He has built me 3 of them.

    a friend of mine has a guitar made by this man, and it’s a great instrument. a bit expensive too, but great.
