GIT - THE GUITAR INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY

The Guitar Institute of Technology opened its doors to full-time students in April of 1977, laying the foundation for Musicians Institute. Based on educational philosophy of guitarist Howard Roberts, GIT was co-founded and managed by Los Angeles music businessman Pat Hicks. The three original instructors; Jow Diorio, Rob Eschete, and Don Mock ventured into unexplored territory as they worked to turn Howard’s vision of an intensive, contemporary, vocational guitar program into a practical reality.
