About this course

Hi, I'm Brad Carlton and welcome to Volume 3 of Guitar Lab: Modern Harmonic Guitar. In the first two volumes, we talked about actual chord voicings and played harmonic approaches with a clean sound and discussed several concepts. Here we'll take the same concepts and apply it to soloing.

In this course, you're going to get a lot of different jam tracks that are basically Emin to D. The beauty of this is that you'll take this same information and visualize chord shapes on the neck, and it will serve you when you're playing single note lines. You'll get some different approaches that will help you, and you'll learn how to build on things that you might already know.

So grab your guitar, and let's play!

What you'll learn

  • Apply arpeggio permutations to create varied melodic lines
  • Apply chord voicing concepts from Volumes 1 and 2 to single-note soloing
  • Navigate pedal tone progressions
  • Visualize chord shapes while playing melodic lines
  • Incorporate chromatic approach tones tastefully

Vertical Soloing Pt. 1
This lesson will focus on various ways to apply the chord tones of the Em7 and Dmaj7 chords in a soloing context.
Vertical Soloing Pt. 2
The 9 is an available extension which can be obtained by playing off the 3rd of each chord. For the Em9, use a Gmaj7 arpeggio. For the Dmaj9, use an F#m7 arpeggio. Remember to view an extended chord as a series of interlocking diatonic triads within the heptatonic arpeggio for the appropriate mode. For example, the Em9 would be the following interlocking triads out of the Dorian heptatonic arpeggio: Em, G, Bm. The Dmaj9 would be the following interlocking triads out of the Ionian heptatonic arpeggio: D, F#m, A.
Vertical Soloing Pt. 3
Learn the scale degrees of every chord voicing that you use. This will enable you to use these chord "shapes" as a reference for single note lines.
Vertical Soloing Pt. 4
This lesson will explain the application of diatonic neighbor tones.
Vertical Soloing Pt. 5
This lesson will explain the application of non-diatonic neighbor tones.
Pentatonic Approaches Pt. 1
This lesson will explain the concept of using one pentatonic scale over both chords.
