**Abstract:** Divergent thinking ability, as an aspect of creativity, seems valuable to managers and entrepreneurs as they employ the tools of creative problem-solving and innovative thinking in pursuit of business success. Musical study in general, and classical guitar study to a greater degree, has the potential to improve divergent thinking and creative problem-solving abilities. As such, I sugges<sup>t</sup> that utilizing classical guitar study as a creativity training tool may benefit entrepreneurs and managers within a variety of industries.
