Sounds cool,
but what the heck is “vertical soloing” and why would anybody want to learn
how to do it? The most commonly accepted definition of vertical soloing is
where a musician is focused on playing over individual chords in a
progression or tune, rather than playing a scale that is common to all of
the chords in the progression (horizontal soloing). Usually the musician is
working with
the chords’ arpeggios, changing from one arpeggio to the next as the chords
change, a very common approach for bebop.
Vertical soloing, for guitar players in particular, offers other very
desirable benefits.  When playing tunes that don’t necessarily fit a standard
progression like most blues or rock tunes, intermediate and even early
advanced players tend to solo by following the chords up and down the neck,
primarily because they cannot "see" all of the chords and underlying
harmonic structure in a single position. Get your vertical soloing chops
together and you’ll be able to solo over any changes, in any key, in a
single position on the fretboard. Sweet, huh?! It gets better.
Guitarists are notorious for getting stuck in the proverbial rut. This is
primarily because they keep playing the same things, the same way in the
same positions. Vertical soloing forces you out
of your comfort zone and places you smack dab in the unknown zone, AKA the
creative zone!
 Guitar Lab: Vertical Soloing is another Brad Carlton intensive study
program. True to form, Carlton not only introduces you to vertical soloing,
he takes you deep into these waters. You’ll learn how to quickly "see" all
of the chord tones, for any prevailing chord, in a single "vertical"
position. You’ll learn how to play more melodically by creatively applying
arpeggios, pentatonic scales and modes and connecting them from one chord to
the next. Brad even shows you how to create more intersecting rhythm and
bubble parts using these principles.
 As you play your way through the course, you’ll develop a solid grip on
common tones, root targeting, sensitive and avoid tones, modes, sequences,
connecting arpeggios and scales, extended arpeggios, rhythmic devices, pedal
tones, street and theoretical keys, diagonal pentatonics, punctuation
voicings and much more.
Guitar Lab: Vertical Soloing will dramatically improve how you think about
improvisation, how you visualize the fretboard and how you sound when
playing over changes. Get vertical! |
