MI Announces Appointment of Jude Gold as Guitar Program Director Jan 29, 2009
Musicians Institute is pleased to announce the appointment of Jude Gold to the position of Director of the Guitar Program, known to the guitar universe as the Guitar Institute of Technology (GIT). Beginning this March, Jude will take the reins from Beth Marlis, who led the program successfully from 2000-2009 and was recently promoted to Vice President of Education. Jude brings a wealth of guitar industry experience to the program, most recently from his eight-year post as Associate Editor of Guitar Player magazine. While with the publication he wrote feature articles on countless guitar greats including cover stories on Slash, Pat Metheny, Brad Paisley, Joe Perry, John Mayer, Zakk Wylde, and Neal Schon. In addition to his duties at MI, he will continue his association with GP as its Los Angeles Editor. A top-notch guitarist himself, Jude has toured, performed, and/or recorded with artists as diverse as JGB (formerly the Jerry Garcia Band), the Oakland Symphony, 2 Live Crew, DJ/Producer Miguel Migs, DJ Spooky, Spinal Tap’s David St. Hubbins (actor Michael McKean), BX3, (the band featuring electric bass ninjas Stu Hamm, Jeff Berlin, and Billy Sheehan) and Van Halen tribute band Hot For Teacher. He holds a degree in music from the University of California at Berkeley and has studied privately with Tuck Andress, Charlie Hunter, and Joe Satriani. Musicians Institute welcomes Mr. Gold as an outstanding addition to its world-renowned staff of music professionals and educators.
