[atlantaprog] Re: guitar craft

I'm a neophyte and I've been studying the techniques of Guitar Craft
with Rob Rushin for roughly 2 years.  I've attended one "Level One -
Three" course (last year, in Santa Barbara) with Mr. Fripp and members
of the California Guitar Trio, as well as other highly proficient
Crafties, and I attended a 4-day program last Summer on the New Standard
Tuning (NST) presented in North Georgia.  The program last Summer was
offered by the Center For Creative Aspiration, who is also presenting
the Level Three course with Curt Golden this coming Summer.
This Summer's course will run from 10-12 weeks.  Here's what Curt
Golden has to say about this Level Three Course:
"From An Introduction to Guitar Craft: 
Level Three is where we test our enthusiasm. Can we apply the quality
of our relationship with the guitar to the mundane activities of our
life, like cleaning the bathroom and preparing food? So, Kitchen Craft
and House Craft are part of Level Three. The longer courses are a way of
practising the life of the musician. This tests the vocational aptitude
of those who wish to become professional musicians, or for those who
expect the musical life to be glamorous. Boredom is frequently the
challenge at Level Three."
So you see, this course is not for the faint of heart.
I'm also a member of the Atlanta Guitar Circle, whose web site may be
found @: http://abc.krimson-news.com/.  This group is open to anyone
with an interest in working with the principles of Guitar Craft in a
group context. We work with steel-string acoustic guitars tuned to the
New Standard Tuning. All levels of experience are welcome.  The aims of
the ABC are... i) To create a framework where each of us can work on our
personal skill, toward becoming a better guitarist; ii) To provide a
supportive context for Crafties of all experience levels to explore
group work ; and iii) To offer those with no previous exposure to GC/NST
an opportunity to work in this manner.

Now, all that said, I cannot disclose the ways of our secret sect
without tracking each of you down to exact the ultimate sacrifice. 
Suffice it to say that Guitar Craft is an 'holistic' disclipline and is
really about much more than playing guitar.  Read more about it @:

Any questions?

There is a guitar-craft veteran here in Atlanta. His name is Rob 
Rushin and he himself teaches a modified version of the technique 
with Fripp's *blessing*. Z-Axis' guitarist, Mark Baker, has been 
studying with him for some time now... hey Mark, why don't you chime 
in with a bit of info on what this is about? There may be a number of 
folks on this list who might be interested.
