The Golden Arp is a comprehensive examination of Add 9 voicings and arpeggio applications. TrueFires educational guru, Brad Carlton pulls out all of the stops in this intensive study program. The course thoroughly covers all of the fretboard options for voicing and fingering Add 9 chords, inversions and arpeggios. Carlton also illustrates how to choose and apply a particular position or voicing when composing and improvising.

A common problem that students encounter is "note option anxiety". By that I mean they learn scales and become overwhelmed with note choices or they try to play so many different notes that they disregard phrasing and miss chord changes.

This lesson involves an in-depth study of Add 9 arpeggios which will deal with this "note option anxiety". The Add 9 arpeggio is a wonderful melodic tool consisting of the root, third, fifth and ninth steps of the major scale. It is the skeletal framework for playing lyrical melodies and it's transparent harmonic qualities are very appealing. The fact that you are dealing with a four note entity instead of a seven note scale further enhances your phrasing and note permutation accessibility.

This lesson will thoroughly cover the Add 9 arpeggio in an organized fashion based on layouts involving note-per-string forms. This will help you "see" the information on the fingerboard in a variety of ways thus helping you develop your own sound. Some of these arpeggios will be quite demanding because of the stretching that is required, so take your time and choose whatever is comfortable for you at this time.
