ABOUT THIS PROJECT

We're making an app, 3 videos and a poster that will help you turn your guitar, bass, piano or ukelele into a musical light saber by connecting it to the Force. Well, the Circle of Fifths and Nashville #'s. You'll still need a music teacher to become a Jedi but the app, vids and poster are guaranteed to raise your musiclorean levels.

By backing this Kickstarter you'll help cover the costs for:

Video 1 How to Play the Grammatika/Music Theory in Plain English

1. How to play the instrument/Warm Up
2. 3 separate songs/most common progressions
3. 4 most common key changes
4. Light Side (R.O.Y.G.) and the Dark Side (I.V.) and how 5ths work
5. The 2-5-1 change and how it opens the circle of 5ths

Video 2 Turn plain English into Musical Nomenclature

1. Scale Degrees
3. Modes and Modulations
2. Major and Minor Keys/Chord Qualities
4. Solfege System
5. Circle of Fifths, Nashville Numbers, Accidentals, Key Signatures

Video 3

1. Use the Grammatika Fingering Map on your Guitar or Keyboard
2. Chord formulas and Inversions
3. Diminished Chords (Darth Maul's Light Saber)

The app itself combines the Circle of Fifths and Scale Scale Degrees and creates and a fingering chart that will turn your instrument into a light saber. Disclaimer: "Jedi" and "light saber" are owned my Lucasfilm but the Force belongs to all of us. May it be with you, always.
