Fretboard Masterclass

New

In this class we're going to learn the ENTIRE fretboard inside and out in the span of 20 weeks. This is a "no shortcut" approach to learning this instrument and if you put in the time, you'll never be confused on the fretboard again. I've taught this approach to many students over the years and the results are consistent. One of my students recently said that this approach took all the confusion and fog out of music, how it works and how he sees the fretboard. He continued saying it sparked so much more creativity and freedom in his music and guitar playing. - We'll cover the essentials of music theory, the major scales up and down the neck, chord formulas, the CAGED system, *then the secret sauce: memorization of intervals within the CAGED system*. After that we'll cover the Harmonized Major Scale, and lastly ear training, finding melodies, bass notes, and chords by ear. At the end of this you'll have a truly deep understanding of how music works and the layout of the fretboard will be locked in for the rest of your life.

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.

In my opinion, chord melodies are one of the most challenging things you can do on the guitar - you have to hold down melody, harmony, groove, and tempo, while making it all sound good at the same time. In this course we will dive into chord melody playing. What are some of the key elements into taking a song and making it sore in a solo guitar setting. We will look at different approaches from right hand technique, to harmonic options, to phrasing, to chord voicings. Chord melody is a bit endless, so in the course there will be clear guidelines of how to start on this magical and challenging journey. We will look at specific arrangements, dissect them, and understand them so you can then make your own. Chord melodies changed the way I play and see my instrument - I am excited to show you what I have learned in my 15 years of studying and obsessing over it. As a note: we will study a mixture of genres. This will not be just jazz - we will also check out pop, soul, and r'n'b. I know sometimes when we hear "chord melody" we go right to Joe Pass- we will be using chord melodies to look at a variety of genres.

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.

Chord Creation

Arianna's class is amazing. Every class was extremely well thought out, always engaging, and had great cohesion of concepts throughout every class. It’s more reminiscent of a Music Conservatory Masterclass than your typical basic online class!
