- In this episode of Riff Lords, Jason Mraz guitarist and music educator Molly Miller breaks down riffs to the songs "Hear It Calling,” "Jopera," "The Minute I Heard of Love," "Over The Fence," "Eagle Rock," "Hasta Luego," "Might As Well Dance," and "Meditations on Movement."
Since Dr. Molly Miller picked up the guitar at age seven she’s been captivating audiences with her raw and sophisticated style. She is one of Los Angeles’s most sought-after musicians, recording and touring with artists such as Jason Mraz, Black Eyed Peas, Donna Missal, and Morgxn, at venues such as the Hollywood Bowl, Royal Albert Hall, Coachella, Red Rocks Amphitheatre, and Walt Disney Concert Hall. In her feature in the renowned magazine, Guitar, Michael James Adam notes, “she slings the guitar like a wordsmith, wry and sarcastic with a playful slant and flows from hushed whisper to bursts of elation with aplomb”.
Miller is featured on Jason Mraz’s 2018 album Know and 2020 album Look for the Good. She is in the house-band on The Bachelor’s newest ABC primetime show, Listen To Your Heart. Soon after earning her Doctorate in Musical Arts from the University of Southern California in 2016, she became the chair of the Guitar Department at Los Angeles College of Music, a position she still holds. When Miller’s not on tour, running a guitar department, or in the studio, she heads her own trio, Molly Miller Trio, showcased on NPR’s Fresh Air. The second album by Molly Miller Trio is slated for release June 4th.

It’s not often you come across a musician who not only is a fantastic player, but an excellent teacher, too.
She gets such a clear sound out of that 335, articulate, detailed. Wonderful technique. Well done as always
Mrs. Dr. Molly Miller is awesome. Her guitar playing is really outstanding. It's music with much soul. She is so talented. 👍
Molly is definitely a master of the craft and by far one of my favorite guitar pickers. It is as fun to watch her play and it is to hear her play. Thank for posting this, you made my day.
My day is just as busy as everyone else's and having the time to sit through a 40 minute video is rare indeed.
That said, my time spent with Molly passed by all too quickly.
But we all spend much more than 40 minutes watching random stuff and talking useless stuff with people on social media. lol
@@henriquevalverde7179 indeed true Sir
Great sound, great lesson. Love it. Thanks Dr. Molly Miller & Gibson.
What a great session! There are not many players who have that ability to keep time and with that skill and talent.
Class act! Excellent addition to Riff Lords.
Excellent! Molly Miller is a fantastic player. I'm glad to see her included in this series.
And thank you for breaking things down so well. Your explanations are a welcome learning experience into the mind of your style.
Very talented and gifted guitar player. Molly rocks, definitely absorbed some of her techniques very cool.
I wish my brain worked that way, and I had an ounce of that talent! Thanks Dr Miller and Gibson! Cool to see different genres so one can expand their musical horizons! Always some technique or lick that you can adapt and steal! : ).
You cured me Dr. Miller. A grateful thanks!
She is a really good teacher.
Love, LOVE seeing your approach to the fret board and chord voicings. You are a breath of Fresh air to music and the way chords are voiced on the guitar. I enjoyed This video so much.
Riffy-Longstocking, Molly is simply fantastic. That hybrid picking is incredible. Learned a lot from this, thank you
Amazing player. Love her approach.
Thank you Molly you’re totally amazing I love your guitar playing and your teaching I’m a fan of yours
So glad you mentioned Ted Greene at the end. Until I bought Chord Chemistry, I had no idea how many different ways you can play the same chord. 30 ways, sometimes 40 ways. Although most of the options are super painful for the hands or almost/pretty much impossible..it's a giant eye opener of a book.
Great spot!! Dr. Molly is a monster player, not for a woman, for an artist. Really laid-back no stress teaching style too. I love Molly's version of Dream a Little Dream of Me, with her brother on drums. a joy to behold. The axes are pretty stout as well. IOPOGFAR- I Only Play On Gibsons For A Reason. Ü ♫
Nicely done Molly! I'm gonna keep an eye out for your work. Great teaching!
Kept waiting for a slide to come out with that great hybrid picking. Enjoyed it Molly 😎
Awesome master class.
What a wonderful experience.
Fantastic style and sound! beautiful Gibson guitar.
Great presentation. Well done!
Thank you.
Fantastic! That was some awesome playing 👍👏
I'm French, I live in France and I wish I could have the opportunity to attend guitar courses with this Amazing musician.
Both of those guitars 😍
Golly Molly - haha I'm an instant fan. You take those different guitar shapes to a higher technical level and make the melody really sing out - thanks for sharing!
Awesome playing, awesome cleans
Great teacher makes the complicated simple. ❤❤❤
Amazing
Definitely a BFF, Biggest Fan Forever, here!!
She's really amazing
Very nice!
Dr Molly Miller is a baller. Nice pick Gibson
Great player... just discovered her and (maybe) I'm amazed :-)
I know and learned all of this stuff decades ago . . . and totally self-taught too, Dr Molly Miller. Important knowledge!
🎓👩🏻🎓🏫👩🏻🏫🎸🎼🎵🎶
Danny Gatton! This young lady has taste. DG was one of the greatest players who ever picked up a guitar. He was the master.
awesome
That's an awesome amount of music education! It must be so cool to pick up an instrument with that amount of effort behind you
So rad!
Your finger movements of the fretting hand are extremely elegant and a pleasure to watch holy shit!
Walnut is the work boots of guitar colors. The burstkiller. My first choice at all times.
Love it Molly
İ love riff lords series❤️
Good golly miss Molly !
You are awesome! The guitar sounds awesome too!
Love me some molly girl is talent
Thanks for watching! Her new album "St. George" drops June 4th!
Dr. Molly Miller 👍 very cool beans, I don't understand a word of the theory but I've got a good ear, I'm totally self-taught and can honestly say, if I was half as good as you I'd be twice as good as I am, peace and love to you Sister ✌️❤️😎
Wow, I did not know her. That was a great lesson.
Danny was a genius with his picking....nice vid babe....A+
i liked her setup!
Molly is the best!
Good golly miss Molly... Whoa !!!
Hi Molly - just turned onto your playing - WOW. I was wondering if you play any other string instruments? Mandola, mandolin, etc?
Molly is smoke. Brilliant too.
SO nice to hear a young person playing some nice jazzy stuff! Love it!! Great lessons.
I like guitar
great to hear a guitarist who can really play musically, who approaches the guitar compositionally rather than as a shred machine. These riffs are so compelling and refreshing
and a very clear and concise teacher. Really impressive
I have a seeking for advice question: my foundation for reading music through the last 25 years as a sax player is based upon the do re mi etc system. When I try to teach myself guitar, I find information online based only upon the CBDEFGAB system.
Any tips, smarts or advice for assimilating those parallel systems? Thanks in advance for any mind muffins :)
Dang it, now all the cool guys who knew about her can't be special when they mention her as a great player anymore. She's always been one of my hidden gems.
Molly sure knows what she's doing. Her 70s es 335 sounds great as well.
Molly MIlla'!
🤘🤘😎
Is that two pickup selectors on the 335?
I now know what it was like to be vaporized by the Death Star. Unbelievable. Thanks for doing these Gibson!
Thanks for watching Ryan!
Just in time for Molly.
So she's saying she's a doctor of riffage? Righteous.
nice
And why doesn't Charlie Starr have a Signature Series Gibson?
Sheshosweet! ❤️🩹
Oh wow, Molly slingin' riffs on the 335 and the P90 gold top... Can it get any better?
Can we see a signature model of that guitar and a lefty version
Does anyone know what amp she is using?
I am using a Fender Princeton!
Unexpected guest, but a very good one at that. Learned a bit from watching this, great guitarist.
patiently waiting for jerry cantrell
Yes, please Gibson.
Or Zakk Wylde or Steve Stevens.
There are so many....
Someday they will come I'm sure
@@richardstreyer4342 SLASH!!!!
yess
pretty pls 🥺
Somebody Get me a Doctor...............
Thank You Gibson, Thank You Dr. Miller
Not familiar with you but nice chops. Would like to hear more.
'Because only Ted Greene could do that,' EPIC!
A doctorate in music? Whoa!
4th
Going to by me rope after seeing this.
You like wah wah? Let me introduce you to Jerry Cantrell.
so is GIBSON only getting artist that use either epiphone kramer and of course gibson guitars 🎸 is that why we haven’t gotten george lynch or warren Demartini? just wondering
@@mitchjacobs4360 she’s a good player but not what i would call a riff lord,why not get mathias jabs from the scorpions 🦂 or steve Steven’s they both play GIBSON guitars
Steve Stevens, who had a Hamer signature model?
@@fredmerrill4002 dude that was Wayback in the day like mid 80s I think when he had that endorsement, lately he’s been playing Gibson Les Paul customized guitars , and he’s somebody I would definitely call a Riff Lord
@@michaelmetal71 imagine Michael Schenker doing one of these videos 🤯
1st
Slash riff lords plsss
Why is there no Tony Iommi yet. The series have his name for God's shake !
We hope to have him on soon!
@@gibsonguitar Looking forward to that
Awesome to see a female guitar slinger
Looks like a Fender amp with the logo taped over. Way to go, Gibson. Even your spokespeople won't play your amps.
I would ask good golly miss Molly to marry me but I would destroy her career she'd forget how to play guitar and her fans would try to murder me so I'll just admire her from afar
Kinda funny, Molly must be a pretty common name for girls who can fingerpick the crap out of a guitar.
Toni iommi ?
Angus young ?
Slash ?
James heatfield ?
Victor griffin ?
Riff lords !..
You're right! Molly too!!
Is it just me or does this style not match the same category of the other previous Riff Lords, Doug Aldrich ,Tracci Guns, Richie Faulkner, Snake Sabo, etc. With that being said - I think Molly is a great guitarist - Maybe Gibson Riff Lords can apply to anyone then, that is not a bad thing, just saying.
Gibson supports all of the amazing musicians, artists and creators who have been on this journey with us. Stay tuned for future episodes of "Riff Lords" featuring players from all genres. Thanks for watching!
No.. thanks
Bye, then.
Riff Lord? Seriously?
