I never really "got" Kurt Rosenwinkel til I listened in this setting. The other material I've heard is so far out for my poor ear that it just never clicked, like he was part of a magic jazz circle of knowledge that I wasn't privy to. Somehow in this solo guitar environment where he's a little more grounded to the melody and stuck on his own to communicate, so to speak, it feels a lot more consumable for me. Not that I'm just sitting here analysing it, but rather than getting stuck in figuring out what he's doing I finally feel like yeah, this is beautiful. It's like his playing is finally reaching me.
There are so many unbelievable clips of him that I keep returning to : One is on here entitled 0.03.09 and it is so brining it’s insane . There’s another one ( I believe entitled ) “untitled improvisation “ it’s him alone in what might be a radio station , a gray background , headphones and or a mic on a stand , sitting in a chair , maybe a desk - improvising what feels like an amazing Brazilian song he’s inventing on the spot. I also have returned to and listened to one entitled “ Kurt rosenwinkel masterclass “ which just has the same image of him the whole time and it’s at a workshop - just audio . He plays w a band and alone and answers questions . He plays a godin nylon string . Over an hour
Kurt is getting better and better as time goes on. Here he is playing some of the most brilliant, original guitar music I HAVE HEARD..in a long time. And that's saying a lot.
@today is not yesterday I assume you're talking about the Yamaha he's using (he plays a PRS later in the gig, I think...)? I hear ya, man. I can see that. I really dig it, though. I'm not sure, but I think he may be using a pedal that affects the sound of the guitar's attack, also. And possibly that's what you're not digging? Dunno...

Yamaha is an amazing company, kudos for Kurt to use a "mid level" instrument (price wise) because he digs it, it sits right balance wise, and upper fret access is tops. I hope D' Aquisto isn't too mad, just enjoy his joy.
He's amazing, one the most important contemporary guitarist out there. Check out his album "Reflections" if you want to hear him some beautiful playing with a great rhythm section.
I have never heard anyone make a guitar sing so emotionally and yet precise. It really does feel like sitting in a theatre listening to couple act out an entire play. It feels like the Kurt's guitar is talking to me and I understand and agree with everything it is talking about. Emotionally intelligent musician 🥰
Hey Steven! I agree ! Emotion and precision. I was stunned when I listened to this live concert, especially in the middle of the pandemia. Kurt is definetly one of my main inspiration!
If you ever get a chance to see him live, do it. Especially in the smallest venue you can. I've seen him three times in venues that hold 100-200 people. For lack of a better term, it's MAGIC.
@@benhs87 It’s actually a very complex signal chain from the Fractal Axe-Fx III that includes a series of compressors, filter, gates, amp/cab simulation, delay, reverb, the EHX POG-2 and equalization. He’s talked about it in a masterclass, which you can find some comments about in the Fractal forum in a thread named ‘Official welcome to Kurt Rosenwinkel!’. He mentions the rough signal path in an interview for Guitar Player named ‘Kurt Rosenwinkel Discusses Sound, Technique and Approaching Jazz Guitar Like a Pianist’.
@@benhs87 I recommend the pog 2 and use the attack setting. you will get 90% of the way there. if you mess around a while you'll find a similar setting to this
Yea, I feel the same. There is such clarity of tone and he's able to play these amazing uninterrupted solos. He's a one man band and he's brilliant too.
Wow. Another guitarist's guitarist. I was just getting into Holdsworth and Miles Davis and then this guy appears. Wow! Crazy, great, beautiful ideas this guy's got going.
Holdsworth is absolutely sublime. I've barely listened to anything else after discovering his music about a year and a half ago. An unbridled genius. Kurt is amazing, but Allan was on a whole other plane of existence. Search for "The Allan Holdsworth Group - REH 1992" and have your mind blown.
Man i fucking love those Double cut-away YAMAHA guitars around 3:30 i think is one of the most underrated and under used best Guitar ever crafted i love specially the Black custom version perhaps my fav japanese Guitar aside the IBANEZ Custom Black Les paul
Just amazing! I saw Kurt Rosenwinkel with bandit 65 in 2018 when he played a show! And he is just getting better, he has found his sound again! Can´t wait for the show at Fasching in Stockholm in Mars!
This guy is genius. I only discovered him a year ago. I just wish this reverse reverb effect was used here less so that it wouldn't detract from his wonderful choice of notes.
I believe it’s a combination of a hog pedal, super octave pedal, and a compressor to take away some of the note attack. So a little synth is blended in.

When Beato says check someone out, I don’t argue!

I'd want a Steinway & Sons grand piano. So I could sell it and get a Yamaha.
Whats the model name
Never heard this artist before. Very nice and pure guitar sound.
Clapton introduced him on his Crossroads tours years back…

Musical genius of this century, hope the people in this show know how lucky they are to witness such sublime music and virtuous guitar playing.
Love this effect where he's taken most of the attack out of the notes (just listened to the first song so far).
Very cool technique. Took me a second to realize what was happening to the attack
Any idea what he's using to get this sound?
It's almost like a volume swell, but he's definitely not using the volume control on his guitar.

I'm not missing a band at all. This is how I like to hear jazz/fusion style guitar (solo). Especially when it's played like this.
Yea, I feel the same. There is such clarity of tone and he's able to play these amazing uninterrupted solos. He's a one man band and he's brilliant too.
True. He's perfect just like this.
Sheer brilliance and I am a fan on the first listening of this music!
how he manages such a clear singing tone with his melodic voicings...addicting
What an original creative voice! Not to mention a brilliant guitarist.
What a beautiful tone on that lovely Yamaha guitar. And great playing, Kurt!
Much as I love the interaction in small jazz groups, it was a very special treat to hear this awesome solo performance.
Wow.
Kurt Rosenwinkel is the best! Cheers from Brazil ;)
It's amazing how unique his sound and approach is on our shrinking planet. The guy is brilliant and never runs out of ideas!
Kurt plays the solo on Planet D'Rhonda off of Donald Fagen's solo album Sunken Condos, which is where I learned about this stellar guitarist
NO WAYYYYY thats sick
Simply complicated...beautiful Kurt
Im so happy this was in my recomended
Wow. Another guitarist's guitarist. I was just getting into Holdsworth and Miles Davis and then this guy appears. Wow! Crazy, great, beautiful ideas this guy's got going.

jaw-dropping...no words...what a talent
That was one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard. This playing is like a spiritual experience.
spiritual......yes....im on a different planet now after listening to this......thankyou....KURT.....
It is spiritual, really. The sounds he produces elevate the spirit, and that, my friend is spiritual.
So many lassies at that gig, magic. Kurt’s playing is very sensual and he really flies!
Thanks Kurt! Love your sound, saw you in Porto Alegre, Brasil, a long time ago, a fan since… keep pouring that heart out man ❤
Fresh sounds- this guy is truly amazing - the sounds he is pulling is like no other guitarist has done afore
At 41:50 a beautiful rendition of one of my favorite hymns... 'Jerusalem'.
Kurt solo work is so nice.
Thats not Jerusalem.. it's "And so it goes" by Billy Joel
what an artist. Beautiful, remarkable music.
Kurt Rosenwinkel makes an important difference in Jazz guitar music. Both in sound and music content as well. Thank you for this great gig.
That just absolutely blew my mind
Cool....!!!!
It's dang near hypnotic. I've never heard anything like it.
fantastic musician, sound, placement, ideas .... :) thanx for this music
grandissimo musicista.
Great music for guitar ,the best
Kurt is the master musician.
Pure and brilliant sound! Thanks Kurt and I really would like to listen to your "singing voice".....Your vocal is so amazing...........Stay safe!
Wow I like his playing sooo much better solo than with a band. Just misses me with a band, but solo I appreciate it deeply.
667th like! I broke the evil lol! But seriously, what a great show, compositions, tone, technique, such a personal performance. I love it.

gave a King Crimson vibe here and there
Always on the Next Step ! Thanks for music Kurt.
Incredible! Thank you so much for this. Manuel from Argentina
What a lovely performance. He's great solo. Amazing music.
Che bel suono chiaro, limpido, brillante. La sua musicalità è moderna e affascinante. Bravo.
Kurt Rose. You are great! Beautiful performance!!
Kudos to whoever is mixing 🙏🏻
That right there is the magic of the AxeFX my friend. It definately helps with sound quality when you know how to use it.
Love the tone from that PRS! Very acoustic-like.
It's a Yamaha.
@@drothberg3 Hah, you obviously haven’t watched the full video..
@@Abcdef12396 As far as I know, he is not a PRS player at all. He has been playing Yamaha solid bodies for years. Like this one.
@MonitorSmith he is switching to his PRS in the end
My thing is classical guitar, but this is now my favorite guitar clip for its beauty and artistry. (and it is solo guitar ;) )
i dont know if it will translate to loving all his projects but i absolutely love this solo guitar material from him. the album is fantastic
Sounds like a brass instrument the way he plays lines. Unreal
I loved every second. Thank you for posting!!
Great music Kurt. I have to hand to you ... just man and his guitar ... no loops or backing tracks. Pure art!
Backing tracks are important into a performance.

@@jimstahlhut1917Nope.

@@jimstahlhut1917 France
great player! Is it a guitar synth that creates the tone/ sound - string/plectrum contact hardly noticeable.
I believe it’s a combination of a hog pedal, super octave pedal, and a compressor to take away some of the note attack. So a little synth is blended in.
