Download or read book The Perpetual Beginner written by Dave Isaacs and published by . This book was released on 2019-08-13 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Perpetual Beginner is part memoir, part musical instruction manual. Relating stories of his experiences as a young musician and music student in 1980's New York, author Dave Isaacs describes the key lessons that shaped his musical life and how they can help any aspiring musician at any age. The title refers to the average music hobbyist with more enthusiasm than skill or time to practice. Many people play for years without developing more than rudimentary abilities, and some become so frustrated by the struggle that they stagnate or quit. The stories in the book and the musical lessons they impart give these "perpetual beginners" the ideas, techniques, and encouragement that will help them begin to progress again. The title also references the Zen concept of "beginner's mind", a way of approaching any endeavor with the openness and zeal of a beginner regardless of experience. Maintaining a beginner's mindset removes many of the self-limiting beliefs and inhibitions that hold many people back, thus enabling the learning process - hence the book's subtitle, "A musician's path to lifelong learning." Author Dave Isaacs is a musician, performing songwriter, and teacher based in Nashville, where he is known as the "Guitar Guru of Music Row".

Download or read book The Liberty Flip Capo Idea Book written by Harvey Reid and published by Woodpecker Multimedia. This book was released on 2014-11-18 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The definitive manual for Liberty FLIP partial capos... Partial capo pioneer Harvey Reid presents the results of his nearly 40 years of guitar fingerboard research. After carefully mapping out the musical possibilities of the nearly 20 types of partial capos that have appeared in recent years, Reid decided to create the new Liberty FLIP capos that clamp 6, 5, 4 or 3 strings. The two volumes of this book guide players of all levels through over 100 hidden ways to use these elegant new tools to play new music. A 5-year-old child can easily use a partial capo, but even very skilled players often find the concept confusing. It's surprisingly difficult to figure out the best ways to arrange the capos, and where to put your fingers to get the new music. Reid shows how to access the vast, unknown world of new chords, scale patterns, voicings and resonances that partial capos reveal in your fingerboard. Here are a dizzying number of ideas of how you can use one or more partial capos in standard tuning, plus a much deeper level where you combine them with altered tunings. You'll instantly have a flood of new ways to play familiar chords, fresh fingerings of common chords, plus a startling number of totally new voicings and resonances that have never been available to guitarists. Like all Reid's guitar books, this one is overflowing with chords, photos, diagrams, helpful advice, clear explanations and guitar strategy. Reid shows you, as only he can, how to find the music in this mysterious landscape of fresh musical ideas.
