“When I’m emotional, it’s like a song is inside me, and if I can just pull the song out, the anxiety and anger and pain flow out, too.”–from Get Happy

Merci! Merci! I wish I could speak French!
I have always wanted to play an instrument and now I know which one I have a guitar and I’m asking to do lessons cause I don’t know how to play. But I loved your book it was so heartfelt.
Glad to hear you’re going to try guitar. Remember, it’s going to sound terrible at first. Try to play for five or ten minutes everyday instead of big chunks of time with lots of space in between. Make sure you work with a teacher who lets you play the songs you like or lets you make up your own songs. And sometimes just play.
I’ve been playing guitar for 2 years now and I’m also in love with reading so I absolutely loved Guitar Notes!!! I’m also taking a songwriting elective class from Berkeley College of Music and reading Guitar notes has inspired me to write even more😄
Thanks so much for writing that book!
Ooh, music and reading–what perfect passions. Thanks for writing. I needed a little encouragement today!
I found Guitar Notes at a used book shop, something called me to it, and it inspired me to not write one, but two, of my favorite songs. Thankyou for you inspiration.
How wonderful is that? I hope you keep thrumming!
I just finished your book and it made my heart skip a beat and tears full of joy. I loved every minute of reading “Guitar Notes”.
I always loved reading and writing so this book inspired me deeply so Thank you…!
Thank you for your message–especially the detail of loving every minute. I loved writing that book. I am working on a new idea that I think you’d like. Stay tuned!
