D.- Video Recommendation of the Week:

1)Vicente Amigo's Guitar High-End Pick-Up Installation

For those who would like to install a pick-up on a flamenco guitar, here is an expert whom John Mc Laughlin also recommends, he is from Germany and he installed successfully a pick up on an Andalusian Guitars guitar model Marcelo Barbero 1945 for one of my students.

Here is his web site as well http://carlosjuan.eu/#&panel1-3
