Asher Black is an amateur musician, fiction writer, and karateka living the life he always dreamed of. Status = “I love my life.” He is an art collector and enthusiastic theater-goer who also flirts shamelessly with ballroom dance, boating, languages, and other diverse interests.

Quotes by Asher Black  (?)

“Each human ape, since we climbed down out of the trees, is on a lifelong quest (or by default, a journey) to answer 3 questions: 1. Who am I? 
2. What is the world (and my relationship to it)? 
3. What do I do now (or what will I do—with myself, my life, this knowledge, etc)? 
”
Asher Black, The Guitar Decoder Ring: Featuring SIGIL - the New Language of Guitar

“I really value instruction, but Socratic in style. People think that means the teacher asking you questions. It doesn’t. It means you asking the teacher questions.”
Asher Black, The Guitar Decoder Ring: Featuring SIGIL - the New Language of Guitar

“We wrote the book we wish we had all along the journey, not a flavor of the existing ones.”

“The myth of talent persists—not that people don't have talent but that talent is the quintessential element in virtuosity. It's not; it's skill. Talent is ubiquitous. Talent grows on trees. Everyone has talent.”
Asher Black, The Guitar Decoder Ring: Featuring SIGIL - the New Language of Guitar

“Prometheus, you’ll remember, stole fire from the gods and gave it to the rest of us. That’s what I want to do with guitar instruction and music theory. I want to steal it from the fog of ancient rubrics and the rarified prison of control represented by the academy. I want it liberated from the pulpit and the throne, the pit and the stick . . .”
