The great Spanish guitar maker Pablo Requena explains here in this video how he makes the head Nut on the classical guitar.
Apparently a piece that for many guitarists goes unnoticed but which is of great importance and which directly influences the playability of the instrument, and the avoidance of unwanted noises that annoy us guitarists so much.
As always, it is a process in which we have to pay a lot of attention to build it well and take into account many very important details in order to finally have an ideal set up in our guitars.

Lazzarini talks in this new Madera video about many aspects to take into account in the construction of guitars and therefore also in the correct choice of the guitar that the guitarist needs depending on his tastes and needs. Choice of woods, types of shapes for the neck, the 20th fret, aesthetic issues that make an instrument unique, the importance of the design of the head, the guitar as an open instrument in its evolution, the identity of the guitar maker, the search of the guitar maker for a sound with which he identifies himself... and much more.

Madera goes to the workshop of the guitar maker, musicologist and restorer from Granada, Aaron García. He is a specialist in the history of guitar making in our city of Granada, which is admirably rich and, in our opinion, largely unknown to the general public.
Here he talks about the great guitar makers, not only from Granada, but also from the history of the guitar. And he reviews in detail the most important evolutions that the guitar has undergone. In this way we have a clear idea of what have been the most important moments of the instrument and what is known about the people who created these innovations and evolutions and have made the traditional Spanish guitar the instrument as we know it today.

Madera goes to the village of Nigüelas, 32 kilometers from Granada, where the guitar workshop of the young guitar maker Johannes Tkindt is located. Johannes belongs to a new wave of guitar makers appearing in the city who are not even 30 years old. Very interesting guitar makers who will gradually become the new generation of guitar makers in Granada. This marvelous profession that we are proud to have such a long tradition in our city and to see that it continues to flow incessantly with very young guitar makers who dedicate all their time and enthusiasm to developing their guitars in Granada.

This time Madera travels to the small village of Mecina Bombarón in the mountains of Granada to talk with guitar maker Sergio Valverde Castillo who was the winner of the Granada International Guitar Making Competition in 2017, the first year it was held.
He talks about how he got started in guitar making, his approach to guitar making, his favourite woods, how hard the job of being a guitar maker is, his quest for perfection, he also introduces us to the guitar that won the 2017 Granada guitar making competition and how his guitar has changed since then, he tells us about the guitar making courses that he organises every year... and much more.
A very interesting interview with one of the most outstanding young guitar makers in Granada.

Did Torres only make his guitars in his own workshop, or were his guitars also made in other workshops or by other officials and guitar makers?
In what ways did great guitarists of his time influence and take part in the creation of the famous Torres model?
Was Torres part of Freemasonry or did this organisation and its ideas influence his work?
Which part of his story is myth and which is reality?

We go in this video to Joaquín Pierre workshop in Almería, Spain, Antonio de Torres Jurado hometown.
And we talked with him extensively about very important aspects of the work of the greatest and most important guitar maker in history who was the Father of the Spanish Guitar.
In addition to being an Industrial Modeler and Artistic Heritage Restorer, Pierre is himself a guitar maker and Torres specialist. He has dedicated a large part of his life to the study of Torres' work.

We went this time to the workshop of the very nice Syrian guitar maker Ahmad Alhajibrahim. He has been living in Granada for more than 20 years. And it was here that he tells us he discovered his two new loves. The city and the guitar.
Now he has his own guitar workshop in Granada where he has started to develop little by little a guitar with his own personality and where he develops his passion for the instrument and for guitar making.

In this video, we are going to see a quality that a guitar should have. The sound balance of all the notes in all the registers of the guitar. Also, we talk about the famous Wolf Notes that can appear on a guitar. Wolf notes are one of the biggest headaches for guitar makers.
At the end of the video, we compare three guitars. Luciano Lovadina 2022, Antonio Marín Montero 1973, and a Chinese Factory Guitar.
