On the eve of his 40th birthday, Gary Marcus, a renowned scientist with no discernible musical talent, learns to play the guitar and investigates how anyone—of any age —can become musical. Do you have to be born musical to become musical? Do you have to start at the age of six?

Using the tools of his day job as a cognitive psychologist, Gary Marcus becomes his own guinea pig as he takes up the guitar. In a powerful and incisive look at how both children and adults become musical, Guitar Zero traces Marcus’s journey, what he learned, and how anyone else can learn, too. A groundbreaking peek into the origins of music in the human brain, this musical journey is also an empowering tale of the mind’s enduring plasticity.

Marcus investigates the most effective ways to train body and brain to learn to play an instrument, in a quest that takes him from Suzuki classes to guitar gods. From deliberate and efficient practicing techniques to finding the right music teacher, Marcus translates his own experience—as well as reflections from world-renowned musicians—into practical advice for anyone hoping to become musical, or to learn a new skill.

Guitar Zero debunks the popular theory of an innate musical instinct while simultaneously challenging the idea that talent is only a myth. While standing the science of music on its head, Marcus brings new insight into humankind’s most basic question: what counts as a life well lived? Does one have to become the next Jimi Hendrix to make a passionate pursuit worthwhile, or can the journey itself bring the brain lasting satisfaction?

For all those who have ever set out to play an instrument—or wish that they could—Guitar Zero is an inspiring and fascinating look at the pursuit of music, the mechanics of the mind, and the surprising rewards that come from following one’s dreams.

Rezensionen der Redaktion

Pressestimmen

“Guitar Zero is a refreshing alternation between the nitty-gritty details of learning rock-guitar licks and Mr. Marcus's survey of the relevant scientific literature on learning and the brain. For those who look forward, in 'retirement,' to honoring the lifelong yearnings they have neglected, Guitar Zero is good news.”
—Wall Street Journal

“[Guitar Zero] looks far more deeply into the ways our brains rewire themselves and find ways to compensate for certain gaps or deficits in our abilities. In the process of demonstrating these, Marcus sounds an encouraging note (pun intended) for older readers who have always wanted to do something but have never had time.”
— Los Angeles Times

"This enjoyable blend of music appreciation, science and personal exploration commands a new respect for how the brain and body responds to the promise, and shock, of the new."
—Kirkus Reviews

"Jimi Hendrix meets Oliver Sacks in this great new science book."
—Very Short List


"A delightfully inspiring, charming, and detailed musical journey that explodes myths of human limitation, while revealing that the fountain of youth very well may be made of wood and played on six strings."
—Richard Barone, musician, author of Frontman — Richard Barone, musician, author of Frontman

"Gary Marcus, one of the deepest thinkers in cognitive science, has given us an entertaining and enlightening memoir, filled with insight about music, learning, and the human mind."
—Steven Pinker, author of The Better Angels of Our Nature

— Steven Pinker, author of The Better Angels of Our Nature

"Captivating and filled with insight, GUITAR ZERO is a look at the challenge of personal reinvention by Gary Marcus, one of our leading psychologists. Whether you are a music lover or not, if you care about reaching your own potential, you should read this book."
—Dr. Drew Pinsky, host, Dr. Drew, Lifechangers, and Loveline — Dr. Drew Pinsky, host, Dr. Drew, Lifechangers, and Loveline

"Marcus is one of the smartest psychologists around, a deep thinker and an eloquent writer, and the story he tells is informed by the best science of perception and learning and evolution, talent and effort, genius and frustration and success. If you have ever dreamed of becoming a musician, you simply must read GUITAR ZERO."
—Paul Bloom, author of How Pleasure Works — Paul Bloom, author of How Pleasure Works

"I enjoyed GUITAR ZERO immensely. Marcus has not only intensified the process itself but simplified the definition of one's dedication to it. His elaborate illustration will certainly cause many of us to better appreciate the gifts we've been blessed with."
—Pat Martino, four-time Grammy nominee — Pat Martino, four-time Grammy nominee

    5,0 von 5 Sternen In depth look at musicality with a fun thread
    Bewertet in den USA am1. Juni 2012
    Verifizierter Kauf
    I recommend this read to anyone interested in learning to play music - especially as an adult. This book is clearly written by a true academic because his insight into the way the human mind interacts with music is detailed. I am not versed in psychology but this book is accessible and I think it's for two reasons. For one thing the writing is down to earth. Even when I know it's weighty concepts they are delivered in a digestible way. I don't feel talked down to. The other reason I think is the big difference - the author USED HIMSELF AS A TEST SUBJECT! He tried to move from a Guitar Hero video game failure to a functional guitar player (a real guitar, not a glorified joy stick). What a fun story he tells of his journey. He is very real about his emotions, his concerns, his failures and in my estimation his ultimate victory. Really cool to experience his journey through this book. As an adult who wishes to be more musical this gives me hope.

    As a side note, psychology students may get inspiration from this book. Like I noted, this author speaks from the benefit of being a professor. A student who is seeking inspiration for class required experiments, or perhaps a person seeking test their own skill boundaries, and of course people who just want to grow in his/her own understanding should consider this book at text as much as it is entertainment.

    I'm hard on books normally, but this one has a thumbs up from me.

    4,0 von 5 Sternen Music and the middle-aged brain
    Bewertet in den USA am22. Januar 2012
    Verifizierter Kauf
    This book wasn't quite what I had expected, but I wasn't disappointed.
    Cognitive psychologist Gary Marcus, who clearly has a history of being "challenged" musically, decides as he approaches the age of 40 to learn to play the guitar. A serendipitous sabbatical from his usual gig teaching at NYU gives him enough leisure that he takes on the project seriously. Guitar Zero (a pun on the popular video game Guitar Hero, for those like me who didn't get it)recounts his adventures, which include playing in a rock band with 11-year-olds at a music camp and MANY MANY hours of practice.
    I had expected a memoir of a middle-aged scientist observing himself learning a new skill, which I got, but Marcus also explores many facets of the science of music, such as whether talent or practice is more important, what kinds of music people like and do not like (I was pleased to have my own preferences supported by finding out that the "most unwanted song" would be sung by an operatic soprano.), and how experts and novices differ when they listen to music.
    No knowledge of music theory is necessary to enjoy this book. Marcus does a good job of explaining the theory needed along the way, but I do not believe he spends so much time on it that it would annoy a reader who does not need the explanation. As someone who is a contemporary of Marcus' father, I was a little at sea when it came to many of his references to musicians I genuinely had never heard of, and I would have appreciated definitions of pop music guitar terms like "riff" and "lick", but he does talk about Bob Dylan and even mentions the Andrews Sisters.
    I picked up a lot of fascinating information from Guitar Hero and was incredibly impressed with what Marcus accomplished as a guitarist. Maybe I should pull out that guitar that has been sitting in the closet for the past 30 years....

    3,0 von 5 Sternen Catch 22
    Bewertet in den USA am9. Juli 2020
    Verifizierter Kauf
    Pretty common theme among the previous reviews - lots of detours and filler, but I read it anyway. It kinda feels like a bunch of Family Guy "like that time when" cutaways...except not always as entertaining. I put this book down for a couple of months, and read a couple of other books, before i could finish it. I've gotten used to sifting through a certain amount of filler in these types of books, while looking for pearls of wisdom from people who have done it. I don't necessarily recall any new pearls from this book, but nonetheless there's something to gather from almost all perspectives, and usually a fair amount of confirmation of things that I've learned elsewhere. Essentially, I reconfirmed from the book that there is no "science" to becoming musical. There is plenty of science around accumulating knowledge, and learning and developing skills. One of the anecdotes the author provided was very useful, describing a certain artist who was turned off by someone trying to talk music theory, because the artist felt so strongly about how bringing music theory into focus ran counter to staying on a musical creative wavelength. Build the vocabulary, internalize it, and move on (which still translates into practice, practice, practice...smartly). Becoming musical...creative and expressive in application of knowledge and skills, is still an unpredictable and non-guaranteed "aha" phenomenon. Just like being a straight A student by itself won't make you a best selling author...but it helps and is usually evidence of a lot of work. The book reinforces that as an aspiring guitarist, you have to be engaged and playing (not just noodling and going through the motions) in order to develop or discover musicality. So, by that, I would say it's worth a read, but don't be afraid to skim if it gets tedious.

    5,0 von 5 Sternen Learning as an adult...
    Bewertet in Australien am 22. April 2024
    Verifizierter Kauf
    You've heard the old phrase "It's never too late to start anything". And that's true, it's never too late to START anything. The problem with this quote is that it's too vague to have any real meaning. If you want to pick up a hard skill, like music, you should know how much time and energy is required for return of investment. So here are some tips for adults to get there sooner rather than dead:

    - adults learn slower and better incrementally
    - immersion is ideal for complex subjects like music and language
    - kids are persistent and have an open mind - take a leaf from this
    - practice must be focused/deliberate, regardless of age
    - adults are better at conceptual aspects of music - composition, arranging, musicianship

    These are tips I've picked up from the book and for anyone mature person wanting to become competent on an musical instrument. The author himself picked up the guitar at 38 and though he'll never be world class player, it's enough to write, play and have fun which is the most important part.

    4,0 von 5 Sternen タイトルにイマイチ乗れなかったですが、意外と面白かったです。
    Bewertet in Japan am 16. Juni 2020

    最近の本か、って思ってたんだけど7年以上前の本なんですね。読もう読もうと思いながら、そんな長い時間、スルーしてましたかｗ

    なんですぐ読まなかったかというと、言語・進化・意識・AIといったような、僕がアメリカの認知科学者に求める内容じゃない気がしたので。

    実際、この本は臨界期（あると仮定して）を過ぎた40代中年が、ゼロからギターを学ぶとどうなるか？といったテーマで解き明かしていく内容です。

    マーカスの意外ともいえる豊富な音楽のうんちくも含めて、なかなか面白かったです。趣味のいい小品といった趣です。

    というわけで、次のAI本を読むのが待ちきれなくなってきました。

    5,0 von 5 Sternen BEST BOOK I EVER READ ON LEARNING TO PLAY MUSIC
    Bewertet in Kanada am 4. Juni 2012
    Verifizierter Kauf
    (Written from Cambridge, Ontario, Canada) This book is a classic. I especially recommend this book to the person of any age who is interested in learning to play guitar (and other instruments also). There are many helpful insights and a fine sense of perspective, and an appreciation of the joy and even the nobility of making that great effort to competently perform and create good guitar music.

    For the beginner there is encouragement plus a realistic picture of just how big a job competent music-playing is.

    For a parent whose son or daughter is taking lessons, look especially at the Back to School" chapter starting on page 65, although you will find valuable insights that could earn you a lifetime of gratitude from your kids scattered all through the book.

    For someone who has played for enjoyment for a long time there are valuable insights into just how difficult good guitar chording is and what it takes to move to the next step.

    For the person interested in guitar lore, there are some fine interviews and well-told stories.

    For the person interested in the psychology of learning, starting from infant age and going into the elderly years, there are fascinating studies, and confirmation that we never really lose the ability to learn new things, nore the pleasure found in doing so.

    I was particularly interested in the fresh and amusing approach, the wide perspective (this was not like a nuts-and-bolts instruction book), and the description of the trials of a person, who has coped with a huge learning disability in connection with playing music but still has never been able to just let it go and get on with other things. The success-story narrative was very encouraging. Also I much appreciated the psychological studies on how people learn, the guitar lore and the interviews with experts in the art form.

    I also liked the style of writing. There was a nice balance between the substantiveness of the content and the readable, accessible presentation with some very nice turns of phrase.

    It's a wonderful subject. I would think many beginner-level players would identify with the journey and appreciate corroboration of the feeling that guitar-playing is really every difficult and takes an enormous amount of time, not to mention a lot of creativity and persistence in devising and revising techniques for practicing, and in sticking with the activity. In agreement with the author's experience, I have found that a No. 1 reward for the activity is the social experience of meeting on a regular basis with people who are at a novice or intermediate level but are still serious about the art form and want to jam together. There is a very satisfying feeling of being able to contribute to other people's progress with their lives and their enjoyment.
