Learn what makes Molly Miller's Master Class so popular
Raul M.
"This class helped in providing a structured framework for understanding the fretboard with an easy process for fretboard memorization. Since I had previously spent time understanding the energy of the numbers system, it was of a lot more help than if it were explained using note names."
Paul W.
"This class does 2 things. One, it makes you more aware of all the notes on the fretboard up and down the neck, and, two, you can use those chord shapes to play lead or melody against the chords. I have found I am playing more to the chord now maybe as much or more than to any scale pattern."
Chris C.
"This Master Class has been eye-opening on many levels. This is legit the most straightforward and effortless way to map out every note on the fretboard. Thanks a lot!"
