Post subject:  Free classical and steel string guitar construction manuals

Denny Brown took every class I offered over a period of several years. Later he became one of my teaching assistants and eventually wrote interactive construction manuals that follow my classical and steel string online courses. These very detailed manuals were meant to serve as aids to those taking my courses and were sold to those interested in enhancing their experience while following my video lessons. I allowed Denny to sell these through my website for a time. Recently Denny passed away suddenly while taking a morning walk on a trail near his home in Boulder, Co. In an effort to continue his legacy and at his family's request, I am now making these manuals available to all as a free download. http://www.obrienguitars.com/denny-brown/.

Denny was passionate about many things in life and one of them was guitar building and helping others in that pursuit. As Denny’s gift to the world please enjoy his manuals as you strive to make the best guitar you can make. You are not forgotten Denny!

I was saddened to hear of Denny's passing.
My sympathies to his family and my gratitude for their generosity.
I already have bought your online course for classical builds, and am sure this with be a valuable additional insight.

Thank you very much everyone. Denny was all about helping folks build guitars and these manuals do exactly that. I hope everyone enjoys them as I try and help his legacy live on.
