An Evening with José Romanillos Series

The one who wants to be a good guitar player must learn and know about the history of the guitar as an instrument. Maestro Jose Romanillos is one of the greatest authority regarding the precious art of Spanish guitar building tradition. He has been very generous in this interview made in Singuenza, Spain last year during a series of guitar building workshop given by Maestro Romanillos. It's a series of 4 videos and it's really worth of watching and study carefully. The following video below is the Part 1.

Maestro Romanillos has created a beautiful guitar museaum at Siguenza and I would like you to visit his website and have a virtual tour at the museum. You will find the original workshop of one of the most important Spanish luthiers: Santos Hernandez!
