I am a lover of guitar. I have been playing since I was 7 - I grew up playing with my 4 siblings. I studied at USC, where I received my Doctorate in Guitar Performance and now am a professor. I play constantly- touring with Jason Mraz, Zayn Malik, & Molly Miller Trio!

What you'll do

Reharmonization

While there are many ways to reharmonize, we will look at some key ways to do this in a compelling way.

Chord Voicings

This is an endless well of joy. There are so many ways to play a chord. We will look at a fews ways to make a decision and ways to open up your chord voicing knowledge. Triads? Seventh chords? Open chords? Spread voicings? So many options - let's dig in!

Bass Movement

Bass movement is something that adds so much to a chord melody and is often overlooked. Let's uncover how this can be utilized as pass chords, embellshments, to add movement, and how it can dictate what voicing you choose.

Tone

One of the most important things to uncover. Tone is key. Let's discuss how to get a good tone and options for guitar effects pedals.

Building An Arrangement

There are so many ways to approach this. Let's dig into how to build an arrangement from nothing. Chords, timing, archs, story telling. Oh joy!

Who you are
You should be a very strong intermediate to advanced student. If you just know barre chords and open chords, I would recommend taking String Theory 1 and 2 as well as Chord Melody 1 before this class.
What to bring
Guitar - if you are electric have an amp handy! If you have pedals, let's try those.

Molly's lessons are engaging and encourage you to get involved to get the most out of them. They offer very approachable introductions to theory for those who may be intimidated by the idea. Molly's lessons have broken me out of a 10 year rut with guitar and have made me enjoy the instrument again.

I came across Molly on a CAGED method class and her style of teaching really resonated with me. She just doesn't teach you how to make shapes and scales but how to sound melodic. Her classes are awesome she is very attentive and answers all your questions. I strongly recommend taking her classes you won't regret it!!
