[ad_1] On the eve of his 40th birthday, Gary Marcus, a recognized scientist with no discernible musical talent, learns to play the guitar and investigates how anyone, of any age, can become a musician. Do you have to be born musical to become a musician? Do you have to start at the age of six? Using the tools of his daily work as a cognitive psychologist, Gary Marcus becomes his own guinea pig while he takes the guitar. In a powerful and incisive look at how children and adults become musicians, Guitar Zero tracks Marcus' journey, what he learned and how anyone can learn as well. An innovative look at the origins of music in the human brain, this musical journey is also a story of the power of the enduring plasticity of the mind.
Marcus investigates the most effective ways to train the body and the brain to learn to play an instrument, in a search that takes him from the Suzuki classes to the gods of the guitar. From deliberate and efficient practice techniques to finding the right music teacher, Marcus translates his own experience - as well as the reflections of world-renowned musicians - into practical advice for anyone who wishes to become a musician or to learn a new skill.
Guitar Zero discredits the popular theory of an innate musical instinct while challenging the idea that talent is just a myth. While holding the science of music in his head, Marcus brings a new insight into the most basic issue of humanity: what counts as a life well lived? Does one have to become the next Jimi Hendrix to make a passionate search worthwhile, or can the journey itself bring lasting brain satisfaction?
For all those who have ever proposed to play an instrument, or would like to do so. Zero is an inspiring and fascinating look in the search for music, the mechanics of the mind and the surprising rewards that come from following your dreams.
