"Isaacs' insightful guide will be a delight for both beginning musicians and established players."
Publishers Weekly
"Dave Isaacs is an outstanding teacher because he is part fan, part musician, part songwriter, part psychologist and part motivator. You won't even be finished with the first chapter of his book when this will be apparent. Dave manages to take all those things and weave them into a must-read work that will benefit, challenge and inspire you."
Bart Herbison, Executive Director
Nashville Songwriters Association International (NSAI)
"Some guitarists are gifted players and a few guitarists are gifted teachers, but it's rare to find someone who has full command of both disciplines. Dave Isaacs is one such musician, and in this book he distills a lifetime of study, performing, and instruction into inspiring, practical advice that will benefit beginners and seasoned professionals alike."
Andy Ellis, former Senior Editor
Guitar Player Magazine
"Dave Isaacs provides an interesting reveal on the history of his musical journey. The story includes personal, philosophical, musical, and historical, perspectives on not just mastering an instrument, but how music can be perceived and used as a surprisingly nuanced form of communication. "The Perpetual Beginner" is conceived and written from a wonderful point of view that offers a different perspective on what it means to be a musician."
Richard Adler, Grammy-winning producer and engineer
"Dave Isaacs has captured what it takes to 'create' music and become a more, better accomplished 'musician' while continuing to hone the craft. I think this is going to be a great read for actual beginners, as well as, the 'perpetual' beginner."
Karen E. Reynolds, East Tennessee Writers Hall of Fame singer-songwriter
Music Industry Consultant
"Dave is right on the money. Follow his advice and you will become a better player!"
Gary Talley, Memphis Music Hall of Fame songwriter
Guitarist for The Box Tops
