On this day in West Virginia the first Guitar Craft course began. “All the elements of Guitar Craft can be found present at Level 1 – if only we could see them.” – Robert Fripp
On this day, 41st Guitar Craft Anniversary, word, sound, and vision:
The beginning of any process is from a Still Point. If a process begins where activity is already underway and in motion, the naturally-proceeding unfolding of the process, of the process discovering / discerning itself in manifestation, will be compromised.
If a person / group undertaking a process begins from movement, the process is undermined. Expressed cataphatically, for a process to move to a completion, it is necessary for those participating to be still before beginning.
A Still Point is where we are quiet in our body, thinking and feeling. This is the beginning point from which all action moves.
Robert Fripp

A New Album
Just in from The League Of Crafty Guitarists:
LIVE VI is now available, a new live recording by The League of Crafty Guitarists in collaboration with the Mendoza Philharmonic Orchestra, conducted by Pablo Herrero Pondal.
The album captures a singular musical encounter, bringing together The League of Crafty Guitarists and the Orchestra in a performance featuring Soundscapes by Robert Fripp, orchestrated by Andrew Keeling, alongside Guitar Craft and King Crimson pieces. The acoustic guitar ensemble merges with orchestral writing, unfolding a language that balances precision and openness, structure and space.
Additional orchestral arrangements for The League of Crafty Guitarists were written by Juan Emilio Cucchiarelli and Joaquín Guevara.
Recorded live, LIVE VI reflects not only the Performance, but the process: a shared field shaped by attention, resonance and silence.
