Curt Golden guitar instruction With the guitar, the best thing we can do for ourselves is learning how to learn. Then, no teacher and no method can hold us back. CURT GOLDEN is offering private instruction in Seattle, for beginners through advanced players. The primary focus of the approach used is HOW to play, rather than WHAT to play, with an emphasis on mechanics, fretboard knowledge and ear training. Curt Golden is a guitarist, instructor and performer with 35 years experience; proficient in many styles. He is a graduate of the Berklee College of Music, and for the past 22 years has been an instructor and mentor in Guitar Craft. Since 2005 Curt has produced and performed in Tuning the Air.   click here to email learn more: Overview: the basics of my teaching approach Guitar Tunings: New Standard Tuning (Guitar Craft) and traditional tuning Biography and more: Inevitable MySpace Page Tuning the Air Seattle Circle Guitar Craft And for those on the East Side, I teach one day a week at Plateau Music located in the Klahanie shopping center in Issaquah. |

Guitar Craft 25th. Anniversary Completion Course Special Project: The Orchestra Of Crafty Guitarists III Sassoferrato (Ancona), Italy March 19-28, 2010 Please note that this course was originally scheduled for South America, but has been relocated to Italy. The course description includes more about the future of Guitar Craft. The course will include the second appearance of the Orchestra of Crafty Guitarists. Robert Fripp and the Orchestra of Crafty Guitarists play Seattle Originally planned as a preparatory retreat for players considering taking part in the Orchestra of Crafty Guitarists project in Italy next March, it became clear very early that this was, indeed, the Orchestra itself. So, with 5 days notice, the team assembled in Gig Harbor began preparations for a performance in Seattle, where we would take the place of the regular Thursday TTA performance. We turned up the available promotional heat – emailing list, websites and posting on various social networking sites. When the night came, it was a full house: RF + 40 guitarists occupying the center of the Great Hall at Fremont Abbey Arts Center, and nearly 150 in the audience. Details about the project can be found in the October 24–31 Journals: Robert Fripp Curt Golden  |
