Turn Your Fretboard Into a Map - The Visual Guitar Learning System
Chord Connectors are color-coded, movable scale sticks that lay on your desk and show you exactly where to play - in any key, for many songs. You see it, you play it. That's it.

Not sure how Chord Connectors work? These short videos walk you through everything - from getting set up to seeing how real song maps are built. See how most players can start playing something new within just 20 minutes of their first session. No music theory background required.
The Missing Step Between Watching and Playing
Most guitar lessons make sense while you're watching them. You understand the concept and can usually follow along.
But then reality hits.
The instructor's fingers cover the fretboard, making it hard to see which notes are "right" and where they fit within the scale. You may finally figure it out after 30–60 minutes, but without a visual connection, that new lick quickly fades from memory. Then another exciting lesson comes along, and the cycle starts again. Over time, you collect dozens of licks, scales, and ideas—but they never connect into one complete picture.
Chord Connectors solves that problem.
It's a physical tabletop system of wooden scale sticks that lock together to build a custom map of your song. Color-coded chord tones and easy-to-follow dot patterns show every "good" note at a glance.
Now, when you learn a lick, you don't just copy finger movements—you immediately see where it lives on the map, which scale it came from, and why it works. Instead of isolated pieces of information, everything becomes connected.
Once you can see the map, your fingers naturally know where to go.
Learning becomes faster. Repeating ideas becomes easier. Improvising becomes more natural. And instead of guessing, you confidently navigate to the right notes.

Hi, I'm Wade Nelson.
I Built This Because I Was Stuck Too
Fourteen years ago I was trying to learn scales the way everyone says to - memorize them. It wasn't working. Frustrating, slow, and the moment I'd think I had it, I'd lose it again.
Then someone said, 'Scales are just templates.' That was the moment everything changed. If scales are templates, I could print them on a stick. Move the stick, change the key. No memorization.
I started stacking sticks side by side, and that's when I saw it - a full map of every good note on the fretboard. Chords made sense. Theory clicked. I was having the time of my life.
There was nothing on the market that did what my Chord Connectors could do. So I made them available to you.
