three choruses worth of comping and three choruses of improvisational soloing. Each performance is followed by an explanation of what he p

Carlton also drills down on essential techniques and improvisational approaches. Bending and vibrato are demonstrated
and broken down in unprecedented detail. Use of motifs, space and phrasing are likewise presented in an amazing, ear-opening fashion.

>> Other Larry Carlton Recommended Courses
We get asked all of the time for more instructional guidance from Larry. LC's most recent course, 335 Blues went #1 with a bullet. To keep you busy until his next course, Larry hand-picked the following TrueFire courses to round out our current recommendations.
TOTAL MODAL
TrueFire's Total Modal
by Bruce Arnold thoroughly examines the theory, harmony and application of 19
essential modes and scales for composition and improvisation. This intensive
study program will provide a comprehensive framework for composing melodies
and hooks, improvising over any set of changes, superimposing scales,
creating progressions and constructing chords for any musical application.
In short, Total Modal is the definitive scale and mode application resource.

BLUES ALCHEMY
TrueFire's
Blues Alchemy is about learning to play the changes, but not in the sense
that jazz musicians do – it isn’t about learning every arpeggio and mode
under the sun. Instead, on ten diverse chord progressions, master blues
alchemist David Hamburger will teach you how to transform your blues bag
into gold by learning how to target tones and "play the changes."

VAMPS, JAMS AND IMPROVISATION
TrueFire's Vamps, Jams and Improvisation
by Frank Vignola illustrates dozens of approaches for
developing solid melodic and rhythmic ideas for soloing or comping over one
and two-chord vamps. You'll first learn how to think melodically and then
how to best express those ideas, in a vamp or jam setting, with the other
band members.

FINGERSTYLE FINESSE
We can all recall experiences when we’ve been absolutely mesmerized
by a particular artist’s solo guitar performance. Those moments live with us
forever and for many of us, that’s why we play. And as players we all strive
to achieve that same magical quality in our own performances.
TrueFire's
Fingerstyle Finesse by Stephen Bennett focuses on the technique, performance and composition skills you’ll
need to make that same magic happen with your music.
