Some points on Guitar Craft
I write as someone who has had a lot of experience of Guitar Craft courses over the last few years. That is to say I'm a self-confessed Crafty.

I have been attempting to rewrite something in this article with little success. The sentence "Students are roughly grouped into Levels as they enter a course, with Level One for new students. Graduation is based on a personal assessment of the student by the instructors" is wholly incorrect, and I will delete it. However, my attempts to write a replacement for it have started to become overwrought.

There is no allocation of applicants to courses (that is to say "students are [not] roughly grouped"), although courses may have requirements of previous experience. A person's attendance on a course depends on their own assessment of what they need from the course. In this sense there is no ranking of individuals into Level One, Level Two and so forth except as relates to a specific course. It is common for people to attend a number of Level Two courses, for example. For more experienced Crafties, the work in the kitchen is of equal or greater value.

The Level One courses used to be the introductory courses to Guitar Craft, and are all directed by Fripp, but since 2002 it has been a requirement for all applicants to Level One courses to have attended an introductory course first.

In addition, there are other courses - Performance Projects, for example, which often involve series of concerts by the group The League of Crafty Guitarists - depending on what is needed.

In the past few years much of the activity in Guitar Craft has been in Europe (particularly Germany and Spain) and South America (particularly Argentina), although participants on these courses regularly come from all over the world. Grangousier

Copyright concerns regarding Discipline Global Mobile (DGM)
I left this note on the Robert Fripp talk page:

Hi WP (team?),

Would somebody (for example with good relations with DGM Live!) please ask for permission to link to specific DGM pages, for example for the WP articles currently listed on the King Crimson footer template?

In the interim, we should begin removing the DGM page references.

Thanks!

This article has a link to Fripp's diary, which seems to violate the terms of service agreement of DGM. Kiefer .Wolfowitz 13:47, 19 February 2012 (UTC)
