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 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 🙌
