        Zen Guitar by Philip Toshio Sudo

        This is a great book. It will help you persevere, get you through the tough bits. Discouragement and self doubt are part of the package when you answer the call to push through the frustration because something great is waiting for you. The words on these pages will help get you there. What you’ll read in this book, you’ll use your whole life.

          Philip has a few more books out also. I was looking for Zen Guitar, but I haven’t found a source yet

          The melody of the notes is what expresses the art of music . 🙂 6stringerPete

          It really is all about ”melody”. The melody comes from a language from our heart. Our heart is the muscle in music harmony. The melody is the sweetness that it pumps into our musical thoughts on the fretboard. 🙂 6 stringer Pete
