The Way Of Zen Guitar
Maryland guitarist Tobias Hurwitz' CD The Way Of Zen Guitar is a living, breathing example of a Zen Musician at work. As Hurwitz himself puts it, "Like the ocean's waves, the Zen Musician creates a natural sound. Like a singing bird, he plays without concern for who is listening, his song is the same whether he is alone, or dreaming, or standing before many." The first six songs represent The Book Of Six Strings, from Sixth String: Thought ("Zen Guitar Zone") to First String: Soul ("One Sound One Song") to Second String: Sound ("Nocturne") to Fourth String: Song ("Hope") to Third String: Skill ('The Bumble Bee") to Fifth String: Path ("Zen Guitar"). The CDs bonus tracks are "Shred Planet" (played in the spirit of Air Guitar), and the backing tracks to "Shred Planet" - so you can play along too.
