As seen on mi2n.com, January 29, 2009.
The news at Musicians Institute (www.mi.edu) keeps getting more exciting as 2009 rolls along. The famed music school's latest announcement is the appointment of veteran guitarist and longtime Guitar Player magazine associate editor Jude Gold as Director of the Guitar Program at Musicians Institute, known to the guitar universe as the Guitar Institute of Technology (GIT).
Beginning in March, Jude will take the reins from Beth Marlis, who led the program successfully from 2000-2009 and was recently promoted to MI's Vice President of Education.
Jude brings a wealth of guitar industry experience to the program, most recently from his eight-year post at Guitar Player. While with the publication, he wrote feature articles on numerous 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, Jude will continue his association with GP as its Los Angeles Editor.
A renowned, top-flight 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 (featuring electric bass ninjas Stu Hamm, Jeff Berlin and Billy Sheehan) and Van Halen tribute band Hot For Teacher.
Jude holds a degree in music from the University of California at Berkeley and has studied privately with guitar greats Tuck Andress, Charlie Hunter and Joe Satriani.
Since opening its doors in 1977, Musicians Institute has primed over 20,000 musicians, producers, engineers, vocalists and industry professionals for successful careers in every genre of contemporary music. Located just blocks from the Capitol Records tower, MI has an incredible history of innovation dating back to its origins in 1977 as the Guitar Institute of Technology (GIT), which broke new ground as a performance-based contemporary music school taught by working professionals. Within a few years, GIT was joined by bass and drum programs to form Musicians Institute and the evolution has continued to this day with degree and certificate programs for career-minded guitarists, bassists, drummers, vocalists, keyboardists, recording engineers, independent producers, guitar makers, music business professionals and filmmakers.
