With Schott Music Solo Guitar Book, the publisher presents an inspiring textbookTextbook:
textbook for advanced guitarists who want to take their solo playing to a new level. The focus is not only on technical skills, but above all on working creatively and across styles with your own solo ideas.

The book conveys well-founded concepts for the structure and design of guitar solos and at the same time opens up new perspectives in stylistic diversity. Elements from jazz, world music and pop are taken up in a practical way and explained in a musical context that encourages experimentation and independent creation. The exercises and sample pieces included are clearly structured and supplemented with tablatures to enable flexible working. This not only deepens technical skills, but also strengthens musical expression - an indispensable tool for anyone who wants to go beyond just playing along.

The book is supplemented by an extensive range of downloads with audio files that serve as sound examples and practice aids. They support the learning process and provide orientation for the interpretation of the pieces.

This edition is therefore a creative guide for anyone who sees guitar playing as a form of artistic expression and wants to develop their solo skills in a variety of styles.
