Ready for a more mindful, creative way to develop your technical guitar skills and creativity?

Kurt Rosenwinkel stands as one of the most pivotal figures in modern jazz guitar, renowned for his groundbreaking approach that has redefined the genre. His influence extends far beyond his virtuosic playing: his innovative take on composition, harmony, and improvisation has left a lasting imprint on the jazz world, and continues to push the boundaries of what jazz guitar can be.

In Creative Exercises for Modern Guitar, Rosenwinkel guides you on a more engaging, creative, and mindful approach to practicing guitar. It brings together all of Kurt’s “shedding” video courses into a single pathway, and is packed with over 150 exercises that won’t just improve your guitar technique, they’ll help you build a deeper connection with your instrument.

What You'll Learn:
