Review # 1 was written on 2013-10-10 00:00:00 Andreas Kiendl I was one of Lee Ryan's students years ago when he lived in San Diego. His spiritual approach to classical guitar playing really made a big impact on me. To this day, I view classical guitar playing as a spiritual practice. His book follows along the same line, but with a lot of practical detail. For me, his emphasis on relaxation techniques while playing has improved my guitar playing a lot. I believe this book would be an enormous help to anyone who is in their early years of classical guitar playing since Lee's suggestions serve to build solid, useful playing habits that will result in a more beautiful, satisfying, and spiritual guitar playing experience.

Review # 2 was written on 2019-11-14 00:00:00 Kenneth Freivokh A very good book. There are some fantastic ideas in the text and everyone who plays guitar should read it. Some of the portions related to technique are debatable but better information can be found in other books on the market. A very relaxed approach to guitar in practicing and performing. Much of it is related to Eastern philosophy but the book is not dominated by it. Recommended.
