About this course
Welcome to Guitar Lab: Solving the Puzzle Vol. 1.
I've used the title "Solving the Puzzle" as an analogy to the theoretical analysis, a musician goes through when presented with a bass line that may or may not include some chord structures.
This course will equip you with the tools to apply theory which will allow you to label and organize the music you learn for future reference.
You'll also understand your options for extending chords, developing fills, and soloing over progressions.
Music can be organized into patterns, this course will help you in recognizing these patterns.

Guitar Lab: Solving the Puzzle Vol. 1
Hi, I'm Brad Carlton and welcome to Guitar Lab: Solving the Puzzle Vol. 1. I've used the title "Solving the Puzzle" as an analogy to the theoretical analysis a musician goes through when presented with a bass line that may or may not include some chord structures. This course will equip you with the tools to apply theory which will allow tou to label and organize the music you learn for future reference. You'll also understand your options for extending chords, developing fills, and soloing over progressions. Music can be organized into patterns — this course will help you in recognizing these patterns.
Listening in a Crowd
We all have the ability to focus on a single conversation within a room full of people who are speaking. It's important as a musician development same skill when listening to music. This lesson will demonstrate this principle in action.
Rhythmic Analysis
This lesson will focus on the various components of a drum groove. The concepts of straight or shuttle rhythms, and rhythmic grids (which may be played or implied) will be explained.
The Bass Line Pt. 1
Just as there are 12 inches marked off on a foot long ruler, in music there are 12 half-steps within the octave. This lesson will focus on locating the root of the prevailing chord on the sixth string between open and 12th fret.
The Bass Line Pt. 2
The math principle of subsets which reside within a set is in an effective way to organize groups of notes within a scale or mode. This lesson will show how this principle applies to a bassline.
The Bass Line Pt. 3
It's important to understand the formulas for the various modes so that you may readily see your options for rhythm and/or soloing over a bassline. This lesson will help you organize these formulas.
The Bass Line Pt. 4
Once you understand what the implied chord is at any given point in a piece of music, you'll then be able to both extend the chord with notes from the appropriate scale or mode. This will also help you solo effectively (melodically) because you'll know which notes are the strong notes (the chord tones).

This series of lessons will seriously expand your harmonic understanding and help you understand how to apply it in a practical sense. A very valuable course of study.

Very interesting
This guitar lab course is fairly short and sweet and topic-specific. But it's really helpful for those of you who've ever sat down with a bassist or another player who is outlining a simple baseline. what should I play when I don't really know what chords this guy/gal's thinking about? By keeping the topic of discussion narrow, you get something digestible and practical to think about and it doesn't go on for hours, which is good.

Good
Hi! It' s Gianni from Italy. I have purchased quite a good amount of Brad's courses always finding them well organized and explained. A true mine of musical knowledge. And this "Solving the Puzzle Vol !" proves equal to the others. I think that this course could be very useful for people like me who love to play, but most of all to compose his own songs. Thanks a lot Brad keep on teaching! Gianni Nicola
