A renowned neuroscientist with no musical talent investigates what it takes to make music

On the eve of his fortieth birthday, renowned cognitive scientist Gary Marcus decided to fulfil a lifelong dream and learn to play the guitar. He had tried many times before – failing miserably. This time, he decided to use the tools of his “trade” to see if he might suceed. On his quest he jams with twelve-year-olds and takes master classes with guitar gods. A groundbreaking exploration of the allure of music, Guitar Zero is also an empowering case for the mind’s ability to grow throughout life.

Gary Marcus studies evolution, language, and cognitive development at New York University, where he is Professor of Psychology and Director of the Center for Child Language. He is the author of three previous books about the brain.
