About this course

Hi, I'm Brad Carlton and welcome to Guitar Lab: Ear Training Vol. 1.

This course will give you a systematic approach for developing your ear and also for knowing where a pitch is located on the fretboard. You'll be presented with principles including intervals, bass notes, and diatonic triads. Each of these topics will apply to a question and answer format where you'll be presented with a pitch or chord, and will then be asked to find it on the sixth string. I'll then give you the correct answer along with any pertinent information about the process involved in finding that pitch or chord.

What you'll learn

  • Navigate chord changes across different neck positions
  • Use major arpeggio tones to locate the 4th scale degree
  • Practice chord voicings in various locations on the fretboard
  • Recall where half steps occur in the major scale
  • Understand that the 2 is a whole step above the 1

Brad Carlton’s ear training volume 1.

It is a good course. I have a fairly good ear using relative pitch. This course helps me sharpen my ears to identify the names of the notes and chord progressions without picking up my instrument.
