11 years later I am looking for Part Three!

[@JGF6237]

One year later and I'm still on the edge of my seat waiting for part three!

[@kevinj2525]

I think the world is ready for part three, please.

[@sonorgeek44]

when are we going to see part 3?

[@F3FisGoodforYou]

Incredible.... the word MASTER comes to my mind....

[@bobdesmond8970]

Love you Ervin. You are one of a kind.

[@adrianogomes1871]

Thank you, Sir, for these amazing insights

[@Errol.C-nz]

HOW can this ever be boring...sooo many people, builders incl, don't seem to get this...The resonance & tone yeah...but NO one else seems to appreciate how sound box amplitude & amplifiers work in the context of guitars & strumbed/picked instruments...they keep pouring eurathane all over everything, even epoxy, oh lord!!. Strings have 2/two...ends...The kneck also transfers energy into the sound box more than most can comprehend...you can feeeel it fgs!

[@JuanDallaserra]

Can you upload part three please?

[@innate13]

Have you uploaded #3 yet?

[@bveracka]

Mr. Somogyi, thanks for an EXCELLENT video! I'm an aspiring luthier from Cape Cod, MA. I've always been intrigued by the science of acoustics in relation to instrument making. One thing that came to mind as I was watching this, was that the guitar body you're using as an example seems to have a fundamental note. I was wondering if you try to get a fundamental note (such as A, E, or D) when building a body? I've seen drum-makers use this technique to great effect. Best Regards from Cape Cod

This guy really seems like someone to pay attention to for anyone planning on building guitars.

[@davidgilfillan1934]

#3 ! Please!!

[@lynpugs]

I wonder how deep that box is.

[@fatbeats101]

More Somogyi please!!!

[@garlach1]

Ditto felixoquebec... please put up part 3! Parts 1&2 seriously great stuff by an inspiring builder willing to share his vast accumulated knowledge

[@51MontyPython]

3:48 Wow! This man knows what he's talking about.

[@fgarden555]

WHERE IS PART 3 ?!?!?!?

[@KenjiKitahara]

7:34 I think the word was meant to be "stiffness"? the same thickness of wood may create variations in stiffness from piece to piece.

[@felixoquebec]

aaaaaaargh where is part 3????????????????

[@JLmusicBase]

This explains a lot thank you very much

[@ryanemmett2470]

Looks like gourmet guitars is balking on the request to release the 3rd part, perhaps legal reasons?

[@graybryan9521]

Isn't the movement of the back a moot point when it's against your body while playing?

[@vayabro1]

Hi! We tend to avoid the more possible resting the back against the body looking for maximun sustain and /or volume. www.guitarsalon.com/store/p5168-ignacio-fleta.html

[@darkiee69]

It does, on a steelstringed guitar since they're almost always played close to the body. A concert guitarist, however, keeps his guitar on the lap, away from the body, to allow the back of the guitar to vibrate.

[@51MontyPython]

7:47 _That_ part.

[@KenjiKitahara]

i think he's a genius, but i must admit i'm not a great fan of his guitars, just as a matter of taste... but it's also true that i've never played one for longer than 15 mins so i may not really understand the true greatness of them either.

[@acmullane]

literally playing ping pong, lol

[@stolenname94]

Lool I'm a somogyi

[@mrjp1819]

Den bedste forklaring på samarbejdet mellem front og bagstykke… Og en dejlig rolig forklaring, så selv en Dansker uden de store Engelskkundskaber kan forstå hvilken vidunderlig verden du åbner for os..

[@dickiebrewer1232]

Good grief.

[@johndoe1765]

NOT TO TAKE ANYTHING AWAY FROM HIS SKILLS AS A BUILDER OF GUITARS ,BUT THIS REMINDS OF WHEN MILES DAVIS TOLD WYNTON MARSALIS STOP TALKING JAZZ AND JUST PLAY IT.

[@florascent9ts]

meh. all of this isn't worth shit outside of a vacuum.

[@mytho1ogy1]

school us then master luthier. lets see your work.

[@florascent9ts]

Daniel Wise I'm just saying the conditions he's creating work in a _very_ finite number of applications. After a certain point, all the sharpening a knife won't make it any sharper or cut any better.

[@bassam.2023]

Ausencio Flores The work that this guitar maker does is what happens when engineering becomes art; there is an immeasurable quality to it. Such things are obviously beyond you; there is no shame in that.

[@florascent9ts]

login211 If it's art, then I don't mind. Art needs only exist for the sake of itself. I'm just saying, after a point, the level of engineering becomes pointless. We could get into an argument of anything having a reason but I'd rather not. There's just no practicality in this level of manufacture.

[@bassam.2023]

Ausencio Flores You miss the point completely madam; it's not pointless engineering, it's art and art is not necessarily about practicalities.
