My Story

Hello, I'm Wade Nelson

Inventor and guitarist building tactile tools that turn fretboard confusion into clear musical navigation. Creator of Chord Connectors, a tabletop system of color-coded, moveable scale sticks. Chord Connectors does not replace your lessons — it works alongside what you already do. It helps concepts stick by giving you a visual map that shows you where you are, why it works, and where to go next. I help guitar hobbyists go from lost to located so they can learn faster, play freer, and gain confidence across the fretboard. For intermediate players, chords and soloing in higher fret positions become much easier. Move past the limits and enjoy more freedom across the fretboard.

The Tool That's Changing the Way People Learn Guitar

Amazing tool!

I've been stuck in the same patterns for years. This helped me actually see where to go next to the fretboard. The color layout is brilliant.

No More Guessing

This turned theory into something I could finally understand. I pick it up, match the shapes, and I'm actually playing music. Not just practicing scales.

It Clicked!

I've watched hours of videos and still felt stuck. But this finally made sense. I actually see the fretboard now. It makes learning way more fun.
