Ascent
~NEW~ HCG Ascent Course
Expand your improvisational vocabulary with a deep dive on 7th chord arpeggios and the modes, and learn to navigate the fretboard in any key and mode.
ASCENT is a full-length course designed for intermediate players looking to expand their vocabulary and navigate the fretboard freely in a wide variety of musical contexts.
Expanding on the concepts covered in the Base Camp course, we use CAGED and the pentatonic patterns as a framework for learning 7th chord arpeggios and the modes. With these, you'll have a huge variety of different sounds at your fingertips, in whatever musical context you might find yourself.
Ascent is designed for intermediate players who have a little bit of experience with the CAGED system and improvisation using pentatonic scales.
