Guitar Lab: Taming The Triplet
I own alot of Brad Carlton's courses and i'm slowly working my way through them and taking my time to absorb all the information and understanding the concepts he teaches. You can't go wrong with any of Brad's courses even if you think you know about a subject he will show you something you did not know. I always learn something from his courses. Great musician guitarist and teacher!!

Easy to follow and a lot to learn
Brad has a great teaching style and personality, which really helps me to learn his lessons and retain them. I saw him teach in person nearly 20 years ago at a guitar show and have been following and buying his lessons since. Thanks Brad!

It's Time To Tame The Triplet
Another slam dunk course brought to us by the virtuoso Brad Carlton. In this course, he focuses on eighth note triplets applied to the A minor pentatonic scale, the G major scale, as well as G major arpeggios. Okay – you get some sixteenth note patters to satisfy the need-for-speed shredders! I especially loved the approaches that cover low-to-high and also high-to-low. This is a very unique teaching concept and worth the price of admission. You will learn about patterns and their application across the fingerboard, which helps you develop visualization and improve your improvisation and solos.
