Voices In My Head (The Rick Lee James Podcast) Episode 580 - Sean McGowan - The Holistic Guitarist
Coming Summer 2025! Place a pre-order now to receive your copy hot off the press.
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 is available in your choice of print or digital format, with 140 pages of written instruction, plus standard notation and tablature. Both editions include downloadable videos.
"An incredible resource for help with the physical and mental demands of being a guitarist. Sean is thorough, concise, and eminently relatable."—Andy McKee
