Quick answers for curious minds.
Nope. The lessons start from zero. The Wheel puts the theory in your hands, at your fingertips.
Yes. All the web content and lessons are free. The wheel is a separate physical product for those who want a hands-on tool.
All of them. Piano, guitar, bass, ukulele, DAW, voice — the theory applies universally. The wheel is instrument-agnostic.
Rotate the wheel to any key. The cutout window reveals the 7 chords in that key, plus the relative minor. No memorizing — just spin and play.
Great. These lessons reinforce what you already know and fills in gaps. The wheel speeds up your workflow and eliminates mental math.
