Guitar Lab: Modern Harmonic Guitar Vol. 1

Just great

Just finished this course, and it was just awesome, inspiring, and really pivotal in my development. Sure, Brad Carlton can seem cantankerous; his jokes are flat; he talks too fast and mumbles a bit, and his charts were dumpstered by NASA in the 1950s, BUT, man, if you pay attention and copy what he does and study the pdfs, then... WOW, he really can change the way you look at the guitar. The course is packed with phenomenal and practical knowledge. Nearly as good as my all-time favs: "Getting to Know the Neighbors" and "Return to Destination."

Lot's of fun

These are the types of lessons where the teacher is taking maybe a simple topic and showing you how to expand on it conceptually. Maybe Em7/DM7 vamp is straight forward but that's the point. Take this and do as much with as you can. Open it up, change the voicings, work with it and see all of the options. Great lessons

The best instructor

Love it - lots to take from this course

The course starts with Brad going over analysis of the rhythm of the backing track, then analysis chords, comping approach, and then solo. All this while keeping the progression and key locked, so you really focus on the effective approach for analysis and options. Many courses go, "here play this" - with Brad, you'll know why, and hence how to do it yoursefl

Modern... Harmonic... Guitar.

I chose a great time to go Full-Access, as this course was sent in as a bonus, and if part 2 is next, I might stay for a bit longer. The course's title describes just what I've been pursuing lately. Intermediate guitar players wanting to gain modern knowledge about chordal playing will find this course most interesting, as it provides tools for constructing and moving chords beyond open position that may also sound differently from the usual E and A shaped barre chords. The final bits of lessons focus on the use of guide tones (3s and 7s) as a skeleton for building harmonies on the top 4 strings. Highly recommended!
