Traditional Flamenco guitar making course
In this 7 day class we will build a true flamenco guitar using the traditional Spanish method with solera mold. We will assemble a traditional 5+T bracing system guitar with wooden pegs as used on old school 50's "tablao guitars". Traditional Spanish techniques including hide glue, hand carved neck, "muñequilla" finish etc., and many more surprises! All the history and cultural issues behind the flamenco guitar will be covered also. All plans, both of the guitar and jigs included. True Spanish cypress and all other materials included, directly imported from Spain, provided by Madinter and personally hand selected by Paco.
Live the true Flamenco experience at the O’Brien Guitars workshop in this course given by Paco Chorobo. Want more? After completing the course you will get the Online Flamenco Guitar Making course for free!! It doesn’t get any better than this. This class is limited to a maximum of 4 students and will fill quickly!

Guitarra, culture and art
Hard to sum up in just a few word this exciting project not only for me, but also for master O'Brien. Working with Robert is a privilege only a few can enjoy... and I has lucky to record with him the DVD Flamenco Guitar Making in 2015. Again a call from Robert bring me the opportunity to give this international guitar making course at his workshop and share my little knowledge about this craft. Guitar making is my passion, as it is to proudly share the Spanish guitar making job and my homeland culture with the rest of the world
8 flamenco guitars
8 seats available for this course, in two groups of 4 students each, plus master O'Brien himself. I feel a huge responsibility and I really want to thank every single person making this course possible, and those who are interested in sharing and participating in this experience. I have no doubt that I will be the one who will learn the most by far!
España · Ubeda - USA · Parker
Sharing as much as I can about my experience as a guitar making is my obsession in this course, but also offer to the attendees the most complete experience and quality content. I would like to show them also the cultural key aspects that surround the Spanish guitar making as a whole, and the flamenco in particular. Provide them with the widest sight possible, to understand that everything goes as a whole unit, not possible to be broken apart. I will bring in my suitcase a piece of my daily work, my daily lifestyle and some history and culture from my country and my town. Just a small bit of Spain, Andalucia and my home town and world heritage city: Ubeda.
MADINTER
This course won't be possible without Madinter. They made my way easier to achieve on the goals in this course: use the maximum amount of genuine materials from Spain. Not only they are a key support due their international wood trading, but I also feel them like a second home where I aquire my woods with confidence. Thank you guys!!
