The guitar contains an infinite number of possibilities when harmonizing a melody ...so where to begin? In this live course, I'll teach you a few of my arrangements and we will analyze the chord choices, colors, lines, reharmonizations and approach to space and time. You'll leave with inspiring material to help you compose your own unique arrangements! I strongly believe the best way to learn is by DOING. New information (chords, lines, theory, etc..) "sticks" when you learn it in the context of actual music. During class, we will occasionally cover exercises/concepts, but will always follow up by playing them in an arrangement.

Amazing class. As an advanced player I learned so much. Very inspiring.

Arianna is a top-notch teacher. She provides excellent on-topic materials, facilitates in-depth questioning and discussion, encourages feedback from the group and is accommodating to all playing levels. Although Arianna is accommodating to all playing levels, if you are an upper -intermediate or advanced player the opportunity to be challenged is ever-present. If you engage with the material as she prescribes, you will grow a tremendous amount. Arianna walks you through the materials in detail and shares her perspective on whatever arrangement/topic she is teaching on. She also loves it when her students engage. She wants to see you play and work through the material. The class itself provides a comfortable and respectful atmosphere. For me, Arianna and the rest of the class were very supportive and positive towards each other. It’s an atmosphere that supports learning and improvement for the entire class.
Donald
very engaging had great involvement in listening to students, making adjustments on the fly. I will have to say most of the issues were mine as the skill level was above my understanding, she posted the information timely so we could start practicing and ask questions, would take it again after i improve my understanding.
Chris
Arianna takes time to share excellent arrangements and jam packs them with useful concepts you can apply to your own arranging and playing. She strongly encourages (but does not require) posting of content and provides very useful feedback on each video you post.

Awesome class!! Amazing teacher!! Highly recommend this to any musician, I’m sad it’s over.

I appreciate how often you remind us that even if a concept appears complex, it is really just this or that. For instance, a 'chord substitution' is simply a diatonic third up or down, keep it up! thanks Arianna
