This book includes Denin Koch’s transcriptions of solo improvisations from Kurt Rosenwinkel’s 2012 album, Star of Jupiter. Koch provides insight into Rosenwinkel’s techniques and concepts, giving the player perspective on the artist’s signature improvisational approach.

Each solo is presented in standard notation and guitar tablature with chord symbols matching Rosenwinkel’s original lead sheets and a one-page discussion of the solo’s notable features and techniques. The tablature represents the most logical fingering for each phrase based on articulation, tone, and what comes before and after it.
