Chord Connectors

Video

STEP 01 - Place the one and only "Starter" stick on a table
Start plugging in "Scale" sticks
Whether it is the first "Scale" stick or the fourth "Scale" stick. The PINK POINTER on "Scale Sticks" point to the note on the "Starter Stick".
STEP 02- Every chord of the song will have a "Scale Stick".
First stick will be the key of song.
Song is in the key of A and the chords are A, D, E.
Starter stick + A (major) + D (major) + E (major)
STEP 03 - see the "The Map"
The first fret across all the sticks, is the top of the map. The left side of the map is up against the Starter Stick. The bottom of the map, is how far down the guitar neck you want to play! Every dot represents a note in the scale. Chords are color coded. Start with a chord, play some dots and go back to playing a chord. When you change chords, you change sticks. *****************************OVERVIEW ****************************** When I saw "The Map" concept, everything started falling into place. I wasn't lost and I could see how to get around, by just playing the black dots. Then I could see how solos followed chord shapes. The best part? It was fun! I wasn't straining my brain to recall scales. With color coded chords, my playing simplified even more. Pretty soon I had fun jumping all around the fretboard, by "playing colors". Your learning doesn't slow down. Whatever stage or phase you are currently at, say goodbye to it. If you are wanting to up your game in a big way, Chord Connectors are a game changer.

Quick, simple, and beginner-friendly.

What exactly is a Chord Connector?

A TEMPLATE

Every scale is a fixed template — a pattern of dots laid out on a rectangle of wood. The dots never change, they’re set in stone. When you change keys, you don’t change the dots — you shift the entire template. Think of it like this: the template is in black and white, but when you plug its pink pointer into a note — Suddenly, the black dots come alive with color, showing you the fun good-note pathways.

You must have one "Starter Stick" for this system to work

The Starter Stick, also known as the Note Reference Stick, shows the note on each fret. Simulates the low E string. The Pink Pointer on the Scale Stick plugs into your chosen root note. *Important, make the first scale stick the key of the song.

Build you map on a table (not underneath the strings)

Quick change moveable, stackable templates. Build your map on a table to see all the good notes at once.

Will never go out-of-date!

Music theory is here to stay. A place to visually learn new patterns and see concepts in front of you.

Do I need to know how to read music?

Nope! All you need to know is, how to click in the scale sticks and what scale sticks to grab. Each chord = one stick (max of about 4 sticks). Available scale sticks are: Major, Minor, Dom-7 Chords, Dom-7 Arpeggios and Major Diatonic. Blanks sticks also available to create your own scales.
