Thanks, Steve.

I frequently look at guitar books offered by Amazon to see what's new or to see what's been price reduced. I think that's where I learned of the book. Or...someone tipped me off to the book and that someone is lost in the dimmer reaches of my memory. It coulda been in a forum but not necessarily this one. In any case, I offer thanks to the author of that forgotten tip. I go through the book repeatedly and my guitar buddy who's been visiting the past week just finished his first pass thru my copy.

Most readers really appreciate the book but for those who aren't familiar:

It's not a how-to play guitar book. It's more like a how-to be...the attitude and approach to playing. Is that Zen enough? :D
"It takes a lot of devotion and work, or maybe I should say play, because if you love it, that's what it amounts to. I haven't found any shortcuts, and I've been looking for a long time."
-- Chet Atkins
