I revue the so called Wilson loop approach to bound state problem in QCD. I shall show how using appropriate path integral representations for the quark propagator in an external field it is possible to obtain corresponding path integral representations for various types of gauge invariant Green functions which have the important feature of involving the gauge field only trough Wilson loop correlators or their generalizations. Two different kinds of representations are used, one given in the form of a semi-relativistic expansion, the second completely relativistic of the Feynmann-Schwinger type. In this way starting from reasonable ansatz on the non perturbative part of the Wilson correlator one can obtain: expressions for the semi relativistic (spin dependent and momentum dependent) q \bar q and 3q potentials, a ``second order'' q \bar q Bethe-Salpeter equation and and a related Dyson-Schwinger equation. I shall concentrate on the three quark potential for which new controversial results have been obtained by lattice numerical simulations and on a three dimensional reduction of the BS equation obtained in the form of the eigenvalue equation of of a squared or a usual mass operator. We shall report on a numerical resolution of such equations which seems to give a comprehensive reproduction of the entire meson spectrum with the exception of light pseudo-scalar bound states for which a complete four dimensional treatment should be necessary.
