Bliv medlem af LibraryThing for at finde ud af, om du vil kunne lide denne bog. Der er ingen diskussionstråde på Snak om denne bog. It's hard to decide what to think of this book. Taken literally it is a woo-woo Carlos Castaneda mystical BS-story. But stepping back there is some lovely stuff about attention, heart, deliberate practice (including when not to bother), and how to think about and feel what's going on musically. I suspect that anyone who has played for any length of time will find parts of it obvious, but I also suspect that almost everyone will come away with something new. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse

"Boy, do I have a lot to learn!" Anyone who's ever picked up a musical instrument of any kind-from the first caveman banging rocks to that little kid at the guitar shop-has though that. I know I did. I'd been trying for years to break in to the music scene, to show everyone my chops, to make my mark. And I was good. But I wasn't great. I knew that there was something wrong.Then the teacher showed up. I didn't ask for him. I didn't think I needed him. And all he said he could teach me was "nothing."What happened next, you may not believe...I sure didn't...but that didn't stop him.The Music Lesson is the inspiring story of a young bass player and the lessons he learns about Life, Music, and the Life of Music. Throughout this audiobook is new, original music written by Victor Wooten and a bonus performance by the original supergroup Bela Fleck and the Flecktones. No library descriptions found. |

And I remember the guy that was training me walked to a particular section and said, "this is the 'woo-woo' section." It was filled with conspiracy theory magazines, various different religion and spirituality magazines, and other stuff that was simply bizarre.
I can't help thinking about any so-called New Age type stuff as "woo-woo" now.
And this book? Well, I was hoping it was going to be more about lessons learned in music that could be applied to life. And, to a degree, it is.
But it's also way too damn woo-woo for me. I got really sick of the author constantly trying to prove how "out there" this mysterious Michael was, and the author's constant reactions to him.
I'm sure this book has a place with some readers, and I'm sure it will prove to be helpful. Just not my type of book.
At all. DNF.
