Chord Colors

Every note gets a color from the circle of fifths. Notes that sit next to each other on the wheel get colors that sit next to each other, so you can see which chords belong to a key before you have learned why. You do not need to read sheet music to use any of it.

What is Chord Colors?

Every note gets a color from the circle of fifths. Notes that sit next to each other on the wheel get colors that sit next to each other, so you can see which chords belong to a key before you have learned why. You do not need to read sheet music to use any of it.

Tap a chord and hear it. Spin the wheel and watch the notes light up under your hands on the piano, or across the neck on guitar.

WHAT YOU GET

113 chords, every one color coded 148 scales from around the world 470 chord progressions to start a song from 1,882 guitar chord voicings 59 modal interchange scales for borrowing chords from a parallel key 9 instrument sample libraries

FOR GUITARISTS

Find every shape for a chord across the neck. See which voicing moves your fingers the least from the chord you just played.

FOR PIANISTS

See any chord or scale laid out under your hands. Find the exotic scales that fit a progression you already like.

FOR SONGWRITERS

Start with a scale and see the chords that fit it. Save a chord and find every scale that contains it, or pin a scale and find the chords that match. When the obvious chord is not working, borrow one from a parallel key and hear what changes.

GUIDED LESSONS

Short walkthroughs cover the wheel, progressions, chords, scales, and your saved ideas, so you always know what to try next.
