Ilustration Conducive To Books Guitar Notes
Hello. Hi. I believe my writing has gone all raw after this long a while of not reading or reviewing. This book, Guitar Notes, in my opinion, is not a book. Rather it projects like a song because of the flow that is so easy to mould into. A beautiful story, crafted on introspection into your life and pursuing what you really want to. It deals with peer pressure, family pressure and skyhigh expectations which crush the need to decide for ourselves when its time.The story is predictable from the very start. Maybe because of the thousand similar books I read based on themes as this. But yet, it signifies a difference, and that's why it shines above the lot. Like how you look at the sunset, and its always there, but you still continue to look at it with awe everyday. Guitar Notes is like that.
I applaud the characters for being so real and easy to relate to. One of the main reasons why I liked this story quite a lot.
This one's for you, Tripp Broody and Lyla Marks. Forgive me for my graph is really without coordinates and so is this poem. :P
"Words are there in me, but there's no song.
Its odd. Its odd.
I am odd.
Yet, I believe I belong there
The Thrum Society is where.
Yes, I got a little room to play
And you may be a graph with no coordinates.
But we are lucky, lucky to sing and play
Even if guilt smeared both our fates.
The notes, they lie still
The strings are all messy here.
Does it matter?
You just need to play.
Lets go, look for pomegranates
In the treehouse we got up there.
And peregrinate away to the world,
Where never a thrum misses the ear.
Quiet, let's listen..
To what the moon got to say.
Does it whisper?
Does it wail?
I think it smiles,
Keeping the gloom at bay.
I keep falling, falling
There's a depth I know I've reached
I don't know if I can pull myself out
Its safe here, easy to leave.
Out of nowhere, it rings in my ears
The song we created together.
And it tells me to rise up,
The Girl Scout is here.
So, when the sun is up tomorrow
I'll wake up with the pick in my hand
And I'll wait with the thrum in my soul
To catch hold of the song when it lands
And I'll remember what you always say,
"Just play."
BR with Numey Berry. Thank you, sistah for racing through it with me :P
Thank you, Purvi, my dearest eldie, for such a pretty rec. :)
4 beautiful Guitar stars!

This book was so refreshing!! The best part: the two main characters, a boy and a girl, are NOT in a romantic relationship (although it leaves room for the possibility). I loved how the main characters exchanged notes through the guitar. It was clever and funny. Sure, it was a little cliche and predictable toward the end, but it a nice story and well-written.~4 musical stars~Meet Tripp Broody, (AKA Mr. Odd)The pages open, and we see Tripp Broody, the school's odd boy's clock-radio alarm waking him up. He sees a note on his bedside from his mom, telling that his guitar, his beloved guitar, has been confiscated from him! Her mom like a Termite, eats up his soul, eats up his guitar, his life! How will he survive without it?! Meet Lyla Marks, (AKA Ms. Even)Lyla Marks, school's perfect chippery girl, the main cellist, isn't really happy. She's going
such a cute story. I love that it centered around music. and that it wasn't focused on loving each other OR Building a love relationship through their experiences.Instead it was literally about connecting with another person - on a one on one level - through musicand it was beautiful
This book is a really good book I like the story line the plot and the characters. A guy (Forgot the name) loves to play his guitar and he is really good at it meets a girl (also forgot the name) and they form a friendship and the girl has an amazing musician. They are both in the same class in high school and they have to work together to make music and they have a really good friendship, even though there's some up and downs. Overall, I recommend this book to people who like realistic fiction
I found this book to be quite enjoyable! It starts off with Tripp getting his guitar taken away by his mom until he can get his grades up. But the guitar is the only thing he feels he has and needs. So he signs up to get practice time in the school music room and use a guitar the school has in storage. Here is where he gets to know Lyla. He has odd days and she has even days. They start writing notes back and forward, and eventually become friends. She starts using the guitar, and he knows it,
Have you ever had to do something you didn't want to do, or been forced to participate in an activity you didn't even like? That is basically the life of Lyla Marks. Well besides the fact that she is perfect. Tripp Broody is practically the opposite, he needs his guitar to survive. Them becoming friends seems impossible, but I guess opposites attract right?
Music is so beautiful, it's hard for someone not to fall in love with it. It can come in many different styles, beats, and phrases; and it can give millions of different meanings through it's poetry. This is exactly what happened in "Guitar Notes" by Mary Amato. The introverted and mysterious Tripp Broody signs up for a practice room so that he can play his heart out on his guitar. The perfect and top-notch Lyla Marks signs up for a practice room so that she can practice playing the cello to
