Wonderful book, and wonderful author, who now sadly passed continues to be remembered for helping people become a bit more zen, and a bit more kinder to ourselves and others
I don’t play guitar but this book has changed my life in a short period of time. I know the journey goes on for as long as I’m dedicated to it, but it really has taught me so much.
thank you dan i’m a young kid, started playing guitar a couple of years ago right when i came to missouri and this is what i was always wanting to find; a good book to motivate me and keep me going. i’m going to always look back on this book. also this video was posted on my birthday :p
Hello Im you'r new subscriber :>) I enjoyed you'r on target no BS visit this morning.Been playing now for 57 years.Yup,,,,,,,and just now beginning to learn why cords contain the notes they do.I have recorded many cd's and some are very good to this day.I played cello as an upright Bass lap style with a jazz band in 1996 ( never knowing a single note name ) and got a good write up in the paper too. But deep inside me I longed to understand what I am doing ! So now at 67 here goes :>)
I've read that book. It's good. You're great on video - very easy to understand and very authentic. I wonder why you only have so few subscribers. Best of luck with your channel.
It's an ego thing. It's hard to accept you're crap at anything never mind guitar which is such an iconic instrument. The guitar looks like an easy instrument to play. It's only when you try it you find how difficult it is. Once you get in the frame of mind that there is nothing else you'd rather be doing other than playing guitar. When you don't even think about putting it down, then nothing can stop you from getting better.
Absolutely, couldn't agree more. I've been playing for over 30 years and still only feel like I'm scratching the surface. Which makes this guitar journey all the more exciting, because I know it'll never end 👍🏼
This book is a motivational zen talk, and not even a good one at that. There's literally nothing in it about actually playing guitar. All the dojo, combat analogies and inner discipline talk is great, and it will help you with your actual playing and music....zero %.
I found it immensely useful and enabled me to think about and approach the guitar in a different way, and as a result it worked wonders for my playing. Buy hey, each to their own - makes the world go round 👍

Good video mate. I have the book, half way through but didn’t really pay attention to what I was reading ! I’ll be reading it differently now.
Cheers Steve! It's definitely worth reading all the way through - changed the way I approached my guitar playing

That's fantastic 👍
Just picked up this amazing book again!! Thanks great video
I thought that was a load of old
Excellent quotes.
I really enjoyed that and probably the best guitar lesson out there.
Quite therapeutic actually.

Hopefully this video will get more folks to read that magnificent book. I'm now inspired to read it again.
Hey, thanks for watching, and I hope so too. I often dip into it when I'm needing a bit of inspiration, always does the trick 👍🏼
Just re-read the intro and first chapter. Pure gold.
Great review! I've not read this book, but I might just swing on over to Amazon and grab a copy. + Subscribed as well!
Thanks for the kind words, appreciate it! And definitely pick up a copy of Zen, it'll really get you thinking about the guitar 👍
