Guitar Circle of Chicago is a group of musicians committed to working with the principles of Guitar Craft as a "way of doing things." The Circle works with steel-string acoustic guitars using the New Standard Tuning: Low to High CGDAEG. The work consists of various Guitar Craft exercises and repertoire. Members of the Circle commute to meetings from all over Illinois, Wisconsin, Indiana, and Ohio. The Circle is open to anyone with prior Guitar Craft experience.
The performance team works in a modular fashion based upon member availability, a practical approach that requires discipline and redundancy. Performance material consists of Guitar Craft repertoire, original pieces, circulations, and improvisations.
If you are interested in learning more about our work or attending a Beginners' Circle meeting, contact John Novak for more information.
Guitar Circle of Chicago member Loren Claypool's album One Feather Shy was released on August 26, 2008 and can be ordered from Clayphonic RecordsTM. It features one track with Guitar Circle of Chicago.

“After inhaling a balloon’s worth of helium, Rufus and Mort entertained the voice performance class with their innovative rendition of Johann Strauss’s Opus 410, ‘Voices of Spring.’”
