On Guitar Craft: Mike has also been involved with Guitar Craft, the ongoing series of courses that originated when Robert Fripp, founding member of King Crimson, began GC courses at Claymont Court in West Virginia. GC began in 1985, and Mike participated in many courses between 1986-2000. One aspect of GC is the management of surprise, for example, the participants on a course are regularly challenged to compose music for live shows, often on a days [or less] notice.
Much of the motivation and aim of GO/NO-GO was inspired by the work of Guitar Craft.
