About this course

TrueFire’s Live Plus series enhances the learning experience of select and previously recorded TrueFire Live broadcasts with high-quality video, video-sync tab and notation, looping, jam tracks, Guitar Pro files, and all of the other learning tools available in TrueFire’s desktop, mobile, and streaming apps.

This Live Plus extension features Carl Verheyen, who takes us through some of the soloing insights, versatile licks and phrases, and expressive melodic approaches found in his 30 Fearless Single Note Licks and 30 Fearless Chordal Licks Courses. Carl demonstrates fresh and original applications and variations of his soloing and improvisation principles — and they’re ALL tabbed and video-synced!

You’ll get standard notation and tabs for all of the performance studies. Plus, you’ll be able to use TrueFire’s learning tools to sync the tab and notation to the video lesson. You can also loop or slow down the videos so that you can work with the lessons at your own pace. All of the backing tracks are included to work with on your own as well.

Grab your guitar and let’s dig in with Carl Verheyen!

Welcome Carl Verheyen
Welcome everyone to this Live broadcast from TrueFire! We're very excited to that we have Carl Verheyen in the house with us today.

What can you say about Carl? He's been a pro player his entire life: clubs and weddings as a teen, tons of studio work and playing arenas in his 20's and with Supertramp since 1985. He's got thousands of sessions under his belt, so he's someone you've heard probably hundreds of times on movies, records, commercials, everything.

Today Carl is respected as a composer, producer, recording artist and bandleader, touring with his own band. Without further ado, let's check in with Carl and see what's going on.
What Is Fearless
Carl starts us off going through how he got his career and answers the question, "What is fearless?" in relation to playing guitar on sessions and his two new courses.
Marianne
We're starting out with a blues track called "Marianne", where we'll combine some of the single-note and chordal lick ideas from both courses in a solo.
Coffee Talk
Brad and Carl talk coffee before checking in with viewers around the world.
Working Man's Blues
Now we've got "Working Man's Blues", a country track where we'll try out a few more chordal and single-line licks in a solo.
Harmonic Strum, Recording
Brad asks Carl a few questions from viewers then chat a bit about their love for Guitar Player Magazine through the years.

A must to have course

This is an awesome course, highly recommended. Carl is one of the best 10 best guitarists in the world. The course is a mixture of the Fearless Single Note licks and Fearless chordal guitar licks. Mind-blowing guitar riffs and grooves that are widely used in real performance gigs.
