Art of Music School

Here is a video of Paul discussing the inspiration behind, and creation of, the Art Nouveau Guitar Series. Well worth a watch if you are at all intrigued by the artistry of guitar making, ranging from conception to execution. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qRPugEpHLJo

You are all fantastic folks :) For the sake of clarity, this page is in fact admin'd by Paul Schmidt's daughter, Haley, while naturally he is conducting and planning everything which is and will be posted. I'll be bringing you photos, music tracks, videos, news, and other pertinent miscellaneous tidbits regarding the Art of Music School. I am, of course, happy to answer questions. Stay tuned!

If you weren't already in the know, Paul recently had an article published in the newest issue of American Lutherie, a quarterly journal on the art and craftsmanship of lutherie! The article is on the first (and wildly successful - believe me, I was there) Holy Grail Guitar Show of 2014, which took place in Berlin, DE. Unfortunately there is no online access to this article (yet), but I can reveal that it was entitled "Holy Grail Guitar Show, Batman!", and is a classic frothing of humor and piercing insight with great details to boot. Check out the website and the details of the Spring issue here: http://www.luth.org/back_issue/al121-124/al121.html
