Guitar Zero: The New Musician and the Science of Learning [Hardcover] reviews:
- An Excellent book. But not an instruction book
I eagerly downloaded this book and read it over the weekend. it is a wonderful primer on the differences between adult and kid learning, especially with regard to musical instruments. It tells the compelling story of how the author learned to play guitar and what he learned along the approach. i'm an adult guitar student and this book answered many queries for me. easy and enjoyable to read. give it a go.
Guitar Zero: The New Musician and the Science of Learning [Hardcover] Description:
On the eve of his 40th birthday, Gary Marcus, a renowned scientist with no discernible musical talent, learns to play the guitar and investigates how anyone—of any age —can become musical. Do you have to be born musical to become musical? Do you have to start at the age of six?
Using the tools of his day job as a cognitive psychologist, Gary Marcus becomes his own guinea pig as he takes up the guitar. In a powerful and incisive look at how both children and adults become musical, Guitar Zero traces Marcus’s journey, what he learned, and how anyone else can learn, too. A groundbreaking peek into the origins of music in the human brain, this musical journey is also an empowering tale of the mind’s enduring plasticity.
