Dr. Molly, you are my new favorite guitar teacher in the entire universe
Your hands were born for guitar. God bless you 🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼
I'm glad I just ran into 3 very short videos of this lady. Short and to the point. Wow a life long string of meandering questions solved just like that! I feel so much better. I don't know this teacher, but she is freaking awesome! Kudos 🙏
Dr. Molly Miller is head of guitar department at Los Angeles school of music
That was great. I've been hacking around on guitar for decades and haven't come across this.
Way to go.... cheers from Canada...
🤘
She is awesome
Yes!, Dr. Molly Miller is awesome.
Saya yang pertama menonton, dari Indonesia, tidak punya gitar elektrik, pakai gitar biasa dan ingin belajar gitar, dan mengajarkan juga untuk orang orang di sini. Terimakasih 🙏
Great channel. You really know your stuff.
What amp are you using?? Sounds great!!!!!
Great video 🔥
Young lady
I've watch a few of your videos they're great.
You are a guitar player for sure,
I can tell by the way your face changes when you play.
Smile.
I'm teaching my 5 and 6 yr old granddaughters to play guitar, hopefully one day they'll be able to play as well as you.
My children use to love watching me make funny faces whenever I played , they didn't understand that we can feel the music and that the feeling of music is what makes our mouths and muscle move in our face.
You're outstanding.
God bless you.
Love it.
🙏🏻
What if we have a 2 and major root and F pentonic .?
Why do I have to Subscribe each and every time?
Nice guitar
🎸🤘
Thanks...how long i gonna be a skillul guitarist?
I wish she'd give the fret pattern. Much easier. This video would have tons more hits.
You can slow it down.
Smart gal.
🙏🎸☯️
hendrix used pentatonic in '1983', during the 'only a dream' interlude.
Ummm.
Hendrix used the pentatonic scale on pretty much every song. And a lot of other stuff from the toolbag.
1983 ???
@@col145 electric ladyland, 1983; a merman i should be
@@marcsullivan7987 it just really jumped out at me, when she was going through the scales, from that interlude.
99% of Blues is pentatonic scales
What the heck does that tag on the head of the guitar say? "Thornwall?"
God I'm so bad at theory
Same. I've been playing the guitar for the last 24 years and I have no idea what's going on here. I've always played by ear and never learned a lick of theory.
😘
I won’t her
1, 2, 3, 5, and 6? I thought for the pentatonics it was the 1,3,4,5,7.
1,3,4,5,7 is the minor pentatonic. The major is 1,2,3,5, 6 of the major scale.
Thanks!
Minor is root, flat 3, 4, 5, flat 7, root -- Major is root, 2, 3, 5, 6, root
Excellent lesson! You make it easy to understand & logical. Thanks!
Very confusing lesson for a beginner or even an intermediate player. Relative Major and minor Pentatonic scales share the same notes, just start from the root note. No need to quote numbers or flats of the notes whilst playing through the two relative scales, makes it sound harder then it
really is.
@Pickup Music: I really hate to say this, because I know she means well, but this teaching style is TERRIBLE. And I should know, I'm a teacher. I've watched a couple of this woman's videos and she is making the same mistake over and over. You cannot instruct concepts, such as chords or scales starting with the assumption that your students know the notes of the fretboard, or the theory of notes in a chord and in a scale. This is the guitar - an instrument that attracts millions of people, most of whom do not read music. She is speaking with a nonchalance of a person giving a seminar to an audience that knows everything she is instructing -WHICH IS THE MOST STUPID THING EVER!
If she really wanted these lessons to have impact, she ought to have first done the previous lessons in theory - she would then repeatedly recommend the audience to view those videos first before watching this/ these. Secondly, you cannot get away with turning on a camera and just speaking into it without doing the arduous work of post edit production that includes graphic overlays that illustrate to the audience what the eff she is talking about. This is lazy. If you are going to instruct us about the scales, then we need to see the notes of the scale on the screen as you instruct. In fact, you may have to go the extra mile because we might only benefit if the graphic show the notes on the fretboard too and not just overplayed on the vid.
I feel fortunate, in that I read music and I play guitar. But I came to the guitar having already known how to read music and having taken the course on theory. Countless beginner guitar players are looking at this video and giving up because it is confusing and boring. Someone needs to sit down with this 'instructor' and have that conversation.
Dr. Molly Miller is the Guitar Department Head at Los Angeles College of Music. She knows how to teach!
It's not impossible, for a student at any level, to figure out the individual notes anywhere on the fretboard. So there's that. I find her clear, concise and illuminating, myself.
I agree. I have been playing the guitar for the last 24 years and I couldn't even follow what she was talking about. I'm sure she knows her stuff, but the way it was presented lost me the moment she began. I thought I'd missed something so I started the video over, only to find myself confused instantly once again.
This video is just a short academic peek to invigorate players at various levels. It doesn't cover everything from square one to jazz fusion, it's just a glimpse. A teacher can instruct for hours on end about everything pentatonics...this is only 4 minutes. Many players get intimidated by music theory, she is trying not to scare such ones away from grasping this concept. Do you have any inviting instructional clips to share? Before you blast her approach, I'd like to see what you have prepared.
Different teaching styles for different people. I'm getting more from her lessons than literally the last 20 teachers / courses I've had.
Not a good way to explain this.
I have no clue what you are saying. Sounds good though
