Hi all,

Just wanted to give a heads-up about a brand new tutorial here on GT called
Intro to the Magic of Chord Theory

As a songwriter myself, I use Chord Theory all the time.
The sensibilities of Chord Theory underlie literally every song I've ever written.
I couldn't work without it.

What is Chord Theory? Chord Theory is an aspect of music theory
that is especially useful for guitar players of all skill levels.

For songwriters, Chord Theory informs the chord choices you make when creating a new song.

Chord Theory is the 'system behind the magic'
that allows guitar players to:


  • Figure out how to play songs by ear


  • Transpose songs from one key to another


  • Jam and improvise solo or with other musicians


  • Write their own songs and chord progressions


Did you ever hear of "One, Four, Five"?

In this tutorial you'll learn all about that simple and powerful equation,
plus much more. You'll also learn how to really put this information to use in your guitar playing.

Intro to the Magic of Chord Theory teaches a systematic understanding of chords and keys that is useful to guitar players of all styles and all skill levels.

For many of my songwriting students, an understanding of basic chord theory has proved to be a key to creating interesting songs with much greater ease.

I hope you enjoy it!
Let me know your thoughts - thanks!
Best wishes, Lisa
