Book Reviews of Zen Guitar
Book Review: Music meets Kung Fu
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great book that combines music with martial arts, western and eastern philosophies. The chapters are short and insightful. So pu ton your white belt, tune your guitar and play.Book Review: Not for those seeking guitar lessons
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a wonderful book, but it is not used to teach guitar, as some reviewers have tried to convince you. It is meant to find the song within yourself, which will make playing the guitar more worthwhile and enjoyable.The premis is simple enough, that everyone has a song within them that makes them human. This book is meant to be a tool to come closer to that song. The path goes through a complete circle (white belt, black belt, and white belt again).
To go through the full circle, you must work for it. With the work, your belt will become soiled and turn black. After it's black, the work will wear off any color, returning the belt to white.
This is an excelent tool to be used, but it is meant for people who are serious about their guitar playing. Trust me, I play guitar, and it was a great help to enjoy guitar playing even more.
Book Review: Not just for the guitar, but for life
Summary: 5 Stars
Zen Guitar speaks to that part of you (if you are listening) that gets so little attention in the hectic day-to-day chatter of this world. While it so happens that I have been noodling around with guitar for the past couple of months and is the reason that I picked up the book in the first place, this book is not just for guitarists. The approach that Phillip Toshio Sudo advocates in his book for approaching the guitar is a metaphor for how to approach life. I whole heartedly reccommend it!Book Review: One of the best books I have ever read!
Summary: 5 Stars
I've had this book for years, since the late 90's
I have it in the hard copy!
I have given it as a gift about 23 times.
Its a wonderful book that applies to life in general!
A MUST READ for musicians as well as non-musicians!
