beginner · Theory
Caitlin Caggiano

This class is for beginner and intermediate guitarists who want to become limitless on the fretboard and speak the language of music fluently on the guitar. This course will take guitar players who have a basic knowledge of chords/scales/songs, and transform them into competent musicians who can find all the notes on the guitar, identify riffs by ear, visualize where they are played on the fretboard, and improvise in any key. The goal of this course is to give you complete freedom on the fretboard and turn you into a REAL musician. Diagrams, tabs, and resources will be provided.

Learning Guitar The Intuitive Way

Learning Guitar The Intuitive Way

New

intermediate · Technique
Lyle Moxsom

Do you want to know how music and guitar playing really works? Want to finally crack the code? I'm going to show you that it's actually quite simple. We just need to understand the basic system which governs all music. In this class you won't be bombarded by a bunch of tabs and charts - I'm going to teach you WHY you're playing what you're playing. This is the crucial difference. From there on you will be at liberty to play whatever you hear and can imagine and this is the foundation on which you can build your skills in any direction you want. I'll guide you through my process of learning any song by ear and in this way we'll discover all we need to know about the musical system and how to harness its power. We'll cover various topics along the way!

Jimi Hendrix: Axis Bold As Love

Jimi Hendrix: Axis Bold As Love

intermediate · Blues, Rock
Joey Weidner

Following on from my class 'Jimi Hendrix: Are You Experienced', we will be continuing on this journey with his incredible second album 'Axis: Bold As Love' During this 5 week course, I will be your personal guide as we explore some of the most influential and righteous guitar playing of all time. From his beautiful rhythm playing, to the earth-shattering riffs and the blistering solos, Jimi's incredible talents have inspired every generation of guitarist since. He still sounds fresh, exciting and original today, almost 60 years on. In this fun and interactive class, we will explore the mechanics of his playing, his approach to rhythm, lead, tone, phrasing, double stops, and how to combine it all together. You will start to understand how he played so fluidly, and find freedom on the fretboard. I have selected 5 songs from the album that I deem to be the most educational and inspiring. We will study them together from the ground up, and learn the methods of (arguably) the greatest guitarist of all time. The goal of this class is not to learn these songs note for note. In fact, it's unlikely that Jimi himself ever played them the same way twice. We will instead be exploring this music to capture the SPIRIT of Jimi’s playing, and use it to ignite the FIRE of our own.

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!
