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

Exactly what I was looking for. Learning triads and inversions all over the neck, and then working with them in songs and progressions skyrocketed my fret-board knowledge.

I got a ton of useful perspective on playing tunes for solo guitar. Molly Miller will take you through chord voicing options and fingering choices, but more importantly, teach you what to listen for and how to truly prioritize the melody in your arrangements. Great stuff.

Loved the class--learned so much and have a TON of things to work on now after taking Molly's course!
Chris
Loved the Intro to Jazz class. We learned 4 standards and Molly introduced concepts like arpeggios, enclosures, scales and drop2 chords in a way that's digestible and rooted to the songs we were learning. I did really feel a build during the 6 weeks and I'm excited to continue 🙌
