Last Thursday I was at a dinner party with friends, where he brought the light with him … Great merengue guitar from Cordoba. The playing was going on among friends. On Sunday, this newspaper published an interview with Dr. Jose RodriguezGuitar maker. Things don’t happen just because, but because they have to. That’s why this article should be about the guitar. It was from God. The other thing is that the columnist does not have enough pen to sing the glory. but guitar It will reach what the pen cannot reach. If you pay attention, the reader will hear what they couldn’t read.
On San Pablo Street, in Cordoba, there is a skilled craftsman who makes guitars. From here to the world. His name is Jose Rodriguez, it’s already been said. Working for the best and building the best tools. This is an artist who is clear about what is essential. Because art is what it does, and what it does is the basis of art, and it is its foundation art From the guitar. It introduces beauty, for without it there would be no music. It is not a factor, but rather the result of emotion. How long does it take to learn how to build a good guitar? All life, all death and eternity are just the tip of the iceberg. This man will give heaven rest.
This is why Don José Rodríguez is a skilled guitar maker, not a mechanic, technician or string instrument administrator, jobs that are necessary and respectable, but which do not even border on beauty. A man like this has no one to succeed him, because his art cannot be taught, it can only be learned. with view, touchesAnd hearing and feeling.

The craftsman finishes his work, displays it, and says to the guitarist: Here it is, play it, don’t break its image. And they take it carefully Paco de LuciaWho built it, or Merengue de Córdoba, and the miracle of the transformation of wood occurred. One guitar is not like another, and Jose Rodriguez would never allow the blood of a guitar to pass through any body. He gives his creation the clean and strong veins through which men’s fingers bleed at every party. Geniuses.
