intensive Guitar Lab examination of Diatonic Chord Progressions from Brad
Carlton is presented in three sections and applies the voicings from
Open String Universe to a wide variety of commonly found diatonic chord
progressions.

The first section covers a range of two-chord vamps derived from major scale
diatonic harmony. These bichordal progressions form the building blocks of
many tunes in a very wide variety of styles. By viewing
 each
vamp utilizing the number system, you’ll be able to catalog each progression
by its sound thus increasing your skills in harmonic analysis. Since each
vamp is diatonic, you’ll easily be able to solo over the vamp by using the
parent major scale. The modes will change automatically with each chord
change.
The first section of the course covers the following
two-chord progressions:
| I ii |
ii iii |
| I IV |
ii V |
| I V |
IV V |
| I vi |
V vi |
 The
second section of the course covers diatonic chord progressions which
involve three different chords. We’ll be using voicings rooted off the sixth
string derived from the open position E major and E minor forms. The first
and second strings will be played open in each voicing thus extending the
basic major or minor tonality. Many different combinations of the I, ii,
iii, IV, V, and vi chords will be presented thus enhancing your ability to
hear and analyze diatonic progressions.
The second section of the course covers the
following three-chord progressions:
| I ii iii |
vi V IV
|
| IV V vi
|
vi IV V
|
| I IV V
|
V vi IV
|
| I V IV
|
V IV vi
|
| V IV I
|
IV V vi
|
| V I IV
|
IV vi V
|
| IV V I
|
vi I V
|
| IV I V
|
vi V I |
The third section of the course
continues applying open string voicings over three-chord diatonic
progressions utilizing chord voicings for the first eight lessons. In
lessons nine through sixteen, Brad will cover four-chord progressions as
well.
The third section of the course covers the following
three- and four-chord progressions:
| ii IV I |
I vi IV V
|
| ii IV V
|
I vi ii V
|
| ii V IV
|
I V vi IV
|
| iii IV I
|
V iii IV I
|
| iii V I
|
I iii vi V
|
| iii vi I
|
I iii IV V
|
| vi ii I
|
iii IV vi V
|
| ii vi V
|
I IV vi V

Whether or not you decide to skim
through the material or dig deep into the harmonic analysis and application
of open string voicings over diatonic chord progressions, you will find this
study program to be extremely ear- and eye-opening with enough solid
instruction and insight to very favorably impact your overall theoretical
understanding and sound shaping skills.
