Chorder

I will admit, out of the five of us I know the least about music theory. I’ve always learned by ear and simply by playing what I think sounds ‘right’. Initially, I learned by trial and error. One can argue the pros and cons of classical training versus teaching yourself, however I feel it is a moot point. If you can play, you can play. What goes on between your brain and the instrument is the true beautiful mystery that is music.

With that said, I’ve decided to make another attempt to learn the fundamentals of my favorite programming language: Sound. I’ve found a great site called ChordER. If you’re struggling with the basics, I suggest you check it out. Inside you’ll find a great interactive tool that will now only show you how to play chords, but what actually goes into the tonal structure of the sounds you’re creating.
