Just bought one as well in denim blue. Have owned dozens of steel string guitars over the years, but haven’t owned a nylon string since I was a kid. For just over $200, I’m pretty impressed so far. Plays well with a lot of projection. Doesn’t seem noticeably cheaper than guitars I’ve seen costing twice as much. And this color really stands out in the store against a wall of brown.
The buzz ( growl) is part of the flavor btw. Technique improvement will help in utilizing the buzz to serve sound production and adding the flamenco growl. High action or hard tension dulls the sound sometimes. Cordoba guitars are closer to Spanish flavor than other brands who builds nylon guitars as like building a cabinet with heavy wood (Ibanez, fender...). Full body resonance flamenco guitars are very light and you don't need to muscle your way as much as you have to control and bite the strings just enough for sound. Best wishes!
Correctmundo lol yes that buzz is good for flamenco spanish or mid east styles this is a nice axe I own the gk Blanca love it for flamenco I got a few videos up cordoba makes top end stuff
A guitar-playing friend and I went to Guitar Center yesterday and I took one of these off the wall and strummed it and I thought it sounded pretty decent. I like the blue color (Blue and Green are some of my favorite colors). That aqua color is really cool.
It's a stunning looking guitar, I was to get the Sky Blue one, retails for £199 GBP, but it didn't have a pick up built in, and there's no option, yet, for that. You play really well, and played some familiar pieces, thanks for the share. I ended up having to go for the CM1 cutaway Electro Acoustic, it's the next one up, plays perfectly, but I'm still getting the Sky Blue one in a few months :)) Greetings from England
@@RandysContext Sweet, I have two handmades guitars, one a classical, a Cordoba, by Admira, and the other a F4 flamenco guitar, also by Admira, thanks man!
Hello very good I bought a guitar cordoba c3m and c5 From a site in Morocco both I did not like it so bad with manufacturing defects I think they sell defective products without declaring them , is what you know a classic brand much better than that
Earl of Salsbury ( john dowland lute ), original doodling, across the universe part, Bouree (bach), flamenco tango exercize, more doodling, girl from impanema (jobim)
Glad you liked it! Not a school teacher - software engineer. Those were the original strings out of the box so unknown brand. We have 2 nice cats that like guitar music.
its a good guitar but you seem like havent practiced in years. playing sloppy and bad fingering. i would give 5/5 to this review cause the guitar still sounded good in your hands.

Thanks! I was really looking for the reviews of this Cordoba Matiz Guitar.
Did you get it?
I was looking at getting one of these and your video was really really helpful! Thank you, I enjoyed your playing too (and your cute kitty!)
Thanks ! I still like the guitar and may use it in public some day ( like outside Starbucks ). You have a color decision to make.

I am going on a short plane trip and will take mine with me in case I need to provide some entertainment.
Appreciate the detailed review and all the playing styles. Tough to beat for price!
Cool looking guitar, this was really well filmed also.
Love the color on that guitar and great sound
Cool playing, we were even graced with the kitty's presence! Lol
Thanks! Both my cats come close when I play.
Really digging that finish brother, these are a sweet line of classicals 🙌🏻🎸😀
i've ordered several guitars through the mail without fear. Businesses like Musician's Friend know what they're doing when they pack.
My girlfriend bought me the light blue one today 🔵💙 lol
