Why

My goal is to share the enjoyment of musical expression. I made this website because I wish this was the framework I learned when I first started playing guitar. This is a method for the foundation of a musical journey. By approaching in terms of chord quality shapes, it does two things. It unlocks all the chords of a quality right away and just gets you playing. Then it gets you thinking about chords in terms of quality.

Seeing chords presented in this way might get you asking:

  • If there's many ways to play the same chord, which should I use?
  • Why do major and minor chord shapes only have one note difference?
  • When do you want to use a major or minor chord, or any of the other ones?

I'll leave it up to you to explore these questions. Contact me with any feedback.
