{"product_id":"2940045677097","title":"Guitar Odyssey","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhen amateur guitarist Michael Rays decided to learn one of his favorite guitar solos--from Deep Purple's \"Highway Star\"--he had no idea how long it would take. Months? Years?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe answer ended up being two years. Michael would practice--usually 20-45 minutes on a given day--and then immediately slide over to his computer and write about what had just happened: what he had practiced, how things were going, how he was feeling and anything else that came to mind.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe result is Guitar Odyssey--a psychological travelogue of a guitarist as he pursues something his natural talents don't easily allow. It's also a book about rock and roll, the learning process, pursuing goals and the hypnotic power songs can hold over an individual. For anyone familiar with the challenges of learning a difficult piece of music, Guitar Odyssey is a reminder of the thrill of the chase, and that good things come with patience, persistence and a positive attitude.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Michael Rays","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47122183061744,"sku":"2940045677097","price":4.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940045677097_p0.jpg?v=1763979473","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940045677097","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
