Everything Zen

I have been reading this book, which applies zen teachings to thinking about the approach to playing the guitar and progressing, regardless of your ability and current prowess.

You progress from being a white belt and by application of a way of thinking, feeling, and attitude you progress to the black belt.

I like the way that the teachings are applicable across all aspects of life....for example the Samurai say: "to break down a problem or hindrance, use your sword to aim for the corners, and work your way in"
