The Number Game
The Number Game
The key to understanding modes is understanding numbers. Instead of numbers being a way to confuse you, let's get into this and internalize what the numbers mean and most importantly, what they sound like.

It's time to apply this to music. Let's look at a variety of progressions to apply this knowledge.

This concept alone can be very confusing. Let's dive into what this actually means and how to understand what they are and when to use them. And OF COURSE- how to use them in music.

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!

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 🙌
