Brad Carlton’s reputation as one of the industry’s most sought after “stunt” studio guitarists is well deserved. His mastery of the fretboard is exceeded only by his working knowledge of theory, harmony and technique. Carlton is best known for his uncanny ability to improvise impeccably executed solos over any changes, in any style — with little or no rehearsal time. Improvisation A La Mode, a 6-CD ROM interactive video course, unravels the mystery of improvisation by revealing Carlton’s unique approach for instantly identifying parent keys along with their respective modes and applying his improvisational know-how to create rich colors and textures in solos and rhythm work. TrueFire’s new quick-learning interactive video system presents video, text, jam tracks, notation and power tab with a full array of controls to optimize learning.

Improvisation A La Mode is a hands-on playing course - no manuals, tedious theory, paperwork or exercises required. You will play your way through the course by following the video segments, referencing a single chart and practicing over correlated jam tracks.

Improvisation A La Mode includes 100 video lessons, text overviews, jam tracks and charts. A La Mode is presented in TrueFire’s multi-media video player for Windows and Mac, which features zoom, speed control, looping and other useful instructional functions.

The sixth CD is BC’s JamBox which serves up 100 jam tracks across a variety of styles so you can apply your new-found improvisational prowess. Each jam track features a reference chart for solo and rhythm improvisation guidelines.

Here’s how Improvisation A La Mode works …

• Octaves and pentatonic scales are presented to quickly connect parent scales with their respective modes.
