We'll let you know when Molly Miller adds new classes to Til.
This class will dig into understanding the fretboard utilizing triads, scales, and chord shapes. Guitarists get stuck playing fills and chords versus melodies that draw people in. We will investigate how to make melodies, comp (play rhythm) and solo using triads, pentatonic scales, and other color tones. At the end of this class, you will better understand the fretboard and be a stronger improvisor and rhythm guitar player. We will look at how to do more with the chords you know and more with the scales you know.

Pentatonic Scales - Let's Go Deeper!
Pentatonic Scales - Let's Go Deeper!
We will spend a few weeks exploring how to unlock the pentatonic scale into more! This means investigating how to use it in a macro and micro manner: both in one key center and addressing every chord that passes. Let's dive into how to make our guitars sing and not just play licks.
Macro Vs. Micro Soloing
Macro Vs. Micro Soloing
When it comes to soloing, there are countless approaches. We will dig into how to solo in a macro way (one scale for lots of chords) and the micro (every chord gets a scale!)
But HOW Do I Solo?
But HOW Do I Solo?
Soloing can be weird and aimless. We can so easily just meander. Where do we start? Let's uncover multiple approaches, so we can have many options on HOW to solo. You don't need to know 100 scales to do this either. We will investigate other solos in order to help develop our own as well.
TRIADS
TRIADS
We will continue on our triad journey, mastering the triads on the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th string set.

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 🙌
