The artist must create a spark before he can make a fire. --Auguste Rodin; French sculptorWho better to speak about the creative process than the greatest artists in history? From Georgia OKeeffe and Ralph Waldo Emerson to Pablo Picasso and Isak Dinesen; Words of Art is a celebration of the craft and the artists who have changed the way we see the world--and influenced how we create.You cant ask Michelangelo how he felt when he first took a step back to look at the statue of David; or what Leonardo da Vinci felt when he began painting the Mona Lisa; but you can read their words and imagine for a moment how these stunning works came to be.

I was trying to see where I could get the tracks but I ended up in a merry go round loop from country to country. Pathetic.Anyway it may be an OK guide if you are more musical than me! It has some interesting examples to try out.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Yeah Buddy.By SenecaOf the sea of books out there written to help get up a blues repertoire; this one should be at the top of the acoustic list. It has 80 or so cuts; is across the board as to styles; with a lot of stuff for intermediate and advanced. When you get some of this down; you wont be the only one who enjoys hearing you play.0 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Great Instructional BookBy JacksonThis is a very useful book for expanding your guitar skills; and is also excellent for solidifying some basic skills you ought to have before moving on. Most importantly; the CD and the books tabs match! If you have used any CD/book combinations before; you know that is not always the case. Also; there are separate instructions labelled beginner; intermediate and advanced. Its definitely worth the money.
