Understanding the fretboard can be overwhelming. It is a web that is not easy to navigate. In this class we will use triads to view the neck and then apply this knowledge to make music - comping, soloing, and chord melodies. Join me in this weekly class to start unlocking the fretboard.

Application Part 1- Comping Using Triads
- Use major and minor triads to play rhythm guitar - Expand your playing from just barre chords and open chords - These can be used in many genres- they are not just for pop, soul, or funk- but for every genre
Chord Melodies
Chord Melodies
- Use triads to play melodies - This is a great way to see how you can solo as well using triads - This is also a great place to get a grasp on chord melodies with more advanced voicings
Connecting Chords
Connecting Chords
- Let's stop jumping around the guitar neck and instead move using voice leading - Play chords more musically - We should be able to play any chord without jumping around the guitar

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 🙌

Molly Miller is a very gifted player and educator. She is dedicated, and personable, and very good at demonstrating and explaining the lessons. I highly recommend her classes !

Dr. Molly's "Intro to Jazz" was a fab course. She presented a methodical system to learning standards that greatly helped me to get past the intimidation of difficult chord changes. Each class built on the concepts of the previous week, so it was easy to practice all of the material and keep up with assignments. Molly was very patient and friendly during lessons. She took the time to thoroughly answer everyone's questions either in the lesson on in the class chat. I appreciated that she provided constructive feedback on the posted assignments every week too. I highly recommend this course to intermediate players looking to expand beyond pop/rock idioms.

Dr Miller gives great importance to the fundamentals and has very effective ways to allow her students to internalise them not just mentally but also by execution. Not just a great guitarist but also a great teacher!

As a newcomer to Jazz, this was an easy to follow course that covered some essential pieces while still allowing us to dive right in and start playing. I had been taught some of these "pieces" before, but was able to finally "connect the dots" here -looking forward to "Part II" in the new year.
