    An essential and comprehensive guide to well-being for guitarists.

    How do accomplished guitarists practice? What do they work on, and for how long? How do they approach difficult, advanced material and avoid injury–or do they? Is it really possible to sustain a lifelong commitment to playing the guitar, continually improving, discovering new music, expanding your abilities, and doing it all without incident?

    The short answer: yes, absolutely. And this complete guide will show you how to:

    • Promote physical well-being through stretches and exercises

    • Avoid cumulative trauma and repetitive stress injuries

    • Manage stress and performance-related anxiety

    • Create effective and enjoyable practice routines

    • Develop solid technique through exercises and études

    • Incorporate visualization techniques into your playing

    • Create a deeper connection with both your music and your instrument

    Plus, you'll get advice from acclaimed guitarists like Clive Carroll, Alex de Grassi, Vicki Genfan, Grant Gordy, Mark Hanson, Eric Johnson, Laurence Juber, Adam Levy, Juanito Pascual, and more along the way.

    For guitarists of all ages, styles, and levels, The Holistic Guitarist by Sean McGowan offers a comprehensive approach to staying healthy, practicing creatively, and improving as a musician. This complete guide features 140 pages of written instruction, downloadable videos, plus standard notation and tablature.
