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.

I am a lover of guitar. I have been playing since I was 7 - I grew up playing with my 4 siblings. I studied at USC, where I received my Doctorate in Guitar Performance and now am a professor. I play constantly- touring with artists such as Jason Mraz, Molly Miller Trio, and all over the internet!

Really eye-opening, changed the way I look at the guitar. Molly's an amazing player AND teacher - she's encouraging, patient, and really communicates the material well.

Molly is SO knowledgeable, & generous with her knowledge. There's a lot of "meat" to this class that I will be processing for months to come, but I'm so excited/inspired to take my solo playing to the next level with this information over time.

I could only watch the recordings but I thoroughly enjoy them. Small bite sized pieces of info for me to digest.

Molly Miller is a great teacher and a big inspiration to me musically. After more than fifty years of playing guitar, her lessons remind me how many gaps there are in my musical knowledge. I really appreciated the balance between theory and practical playing skills in each lesson.

Molly is absolutely amazing. The way she breaks things down so you can understand how to play is incredible. She encourages questions to help you along in your journey. I would encourage everyone to take her class. You will be better no matter what.
