Blues
players eat, live and breathe off the blues and minor pentatonic scale. At
the same time, it’s pretty easy to find yourself in the proverbial rut once
you've run out of ideas because the harmony is so limited. Brad Carlton to
the rescue again with Big Blues and Beyond, an intensive study program
focused solely on morphing what you already know into a brand new palette of
sounds and textures for electric blues guitar. Big Blues and Beyond will
freshen up your vocabulary of single-note and polyphonic moves for both
comping and soloing.

The good news is that Carlton will have you working with scales and
techniques that are already very familiar to you;
blues
scale, minor pentatonic scale, blues composite scale, double-stops,
triple-stops, pedal tone licks, barres, hammers, bends and slurs. Carlton
will show you moves that are already right there under your fingers but just
not yet discovered and utilized by you. For example, we all have a solid
grip on a few go-to double and triple-stops, but Brad will demonstrate how
to employ double and triple-stops across the entire blues, minor pentatonic
and blues composite scale forms to produce fresh, great sounding fills,
comps and solos. And because
you
don't need to learn a lot of new techniques, you'll be able to put these new
ideas to work immediately.
As is usual, this Brad Carlton Guitar Lab intensive will open your eyes and
ears to some really "Big Blues" ideas by drilling down deep with a singular
focus for getting more with what you already know about the blues.
