People often ask me, “Which guitar makers do you admire?” One individual that I really look up to is master guitar maker, Ervin Somogyi<\/a>. I haven’t had the privilege to meet him but through his willingness to share information and teach the world his ideas, I feel like I already know him. His work continues to amaze me. His instruments capture my eyes and my attention the way a painting masterpiece does. His approach is rather Renaissance\u00a0like. It is centered around science with a\u00a0magnificent\u00a0balance of art.<\/p>\n

Ervin’s blog<\/a> is one of the most informative places for guitar players and builders on the internet. \u00a0I find myself spending a lot of time reading his posts. I look forward to the day I can meet him and hope to take one of his classes!<\/p>\n

FOR ALL YOU GUITAR PLAYERS OUT THERE…. WHO DO YOU ADMIRE?<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Here is a short video on voicing the guitar from a lecture he gave in 2009 \u00a0at the Healdsburg Guitar Show (the whole lecture is available on DVD from his website):<\/p>\n
