What is it?
Eight shapes. Seven keys. 8 Video Lessons.
A dynamic way to hear the fretboard.

🎸 What's Inside?
• Eight moveable shapes applied across seven keys: E, G, D, A, B, C, and F
• 12 chords per key organized by shape for easy navigation
• Three major shapes, three minor shapes, and two intentionally ambiguous — each one shifting character depending on the key
• Bonus voicings that push the shapes beyond diatonic keys
• Eight companion video lessons so you can see and hear every chord in every key and how they connect

💡 Why It Exists.
As a guitarist, I've always been fascinated by what happens when you let open strings ring against moving chord shapes. The open string stays the same — but its role shifts depending on what surrounds it. Root, fifth, something more colorful. That texture shows up everywhere once you start hearing it, and I wanted to put together a framework that makes it accessible and explorable. This book is the result of that — eight shapes that unlock a world of color across the entire fretboard.
