Thank you, David! This is the substance of exactly what I didn't know I needed to know back when I first picked up an electric guitar 50 years ago!
There’s no greater feeling than picking up your guitar, playing a few chords, and losing yourself in the music. Whether you’ve been playing for years, or you’ve only just started on your journey, you want to be able to make your guitar sing, and express yourself musically without anything holding you back.
How it feels when you play is hard to put into words, or describe to other people. Other guitarists, though—they get it. You feel that…
You might get older, things may change, but the guitar always stays the same—it feels like something that’s built into your DNA. You never feel as relaxed or as natural as when your guitar’s in your hand.
Even when you’re playing along in your room, it feels good knowing that you’re getting better every time you play. And while you might still be nervous playing in front of an audience, you know you’re able to get up in front of people and still carry a tune.
It’s an escape, a way to free your mind and heart. Whether you’re playing by yourself or jamming with your buddies, it takes you away from your everyday life
You love the way it sounds, the way you can bend notes, and how the music seems to flow through your fingers and out through the amp…
And more than anything, you feel the most yourself when you’re behind those strings. You dream about feeling so confident and carefree behind the guitar, that creating music is as natural as breathing!
Despite your love for the instrument, something’s missing when you play
right now. You feel like
you’re playing the same things over, and over, and
over again… but you’re not improving. The same,
the same chords.
You feel stuck.
...playing guitar should be an escape—but you’re not escaping anymore.
If you shouted ‘Yes!’ to any of these statements, then you’re not alone.
I’m the Founder of Guitar Playback, and I’ve been teaching guitar for over 30 years. But at one point, I was exactly where you are.
I’ve been there. I know what it’s like to feel like there’s that invisible wall stopping you from improving. You feel like you’ve plateaued, that you’ve stopped progressing, that your guitar skills are getting stale. Your fingers feel wooden, your movements feel clunky, and everything you play is just average—and you can’t work out why.
I was running head-first into these very same roadblocks…
...until I finally decided to fix my playing from the ground up and learn how to fully understand the instrument and finally unlock all those fancy chords hidden on the guitar neck.
Sounds impossible, right?
But it’s real, and it works.
You want playing the guitar to feel like an escape. You want it to feel free. You want to pick up your guitar, play whatever you feel like playing without any limitations and play the way you’ve always wanted to.
It shouldn’t feel frustrating. You want to be able to express yourself through music, and feel like you’re having fun playing the guitar again.
And honestly? You just want it to be simple.
...and most importantly, fall back in love with playing the guitar again.
With 30+ step-by-step video lessons that you can watch on-demand, Chord Builder is an easy-to-follow online course that teaches you the missing key to help you progress towards being a great musician, fully in control of your instrument.
Through a combination of simple to follow videos, backing tracks, and interactive exercises, you’ll teach yourself the proper way to build any chord without feeling stuck because you can’t keep up. You’ll be able to stop thinking about your fingers, and start playing that music that’s actually in your head.
This is the exact method I learned that’s made rhythm playing feel like second nature, and helped me write some of the best songs of my life.
So go and grab your guitar again… are you ready to finally master playing any chord in any position?
Chord Builder works because it teaches you how to build any chord while refining your musicality. Rather than focusing on memorizing chord shapes, you’ll instead focus on building your own chord voicings.
You’ll learn the essential theory you need to build chords in any key regardless of the musical style you are into.
The Chord Builder course teaches you exactly how to build chords and how to properly mix them together to write songs in any key. It works for everyone, because it immerses you into music directly without the need of complicated theory, chord memorization, or complicated concepts.
Sounds pretty good, doesn’t it?
...and, most importantly, how to add that secret spice to your playing that helps you to express yourself through music.
As you go through the program, you’ll start learning the key concepts to unlock your chord ability. Once you’ve learned exactly how chords are work, you’ll then put them all together yourself over backing tracks specifically created for the course.
Learn at your own pace with 30+ simple-to-follow videos. Ranging from a couple minutes, to never more than 10, these are short, sharp lessons you can implement immediately.
You’ll learn how to quickly build any chord with ease. Think of it as improving your fretboard knowledge in a brand new way.
You’ll learn how to naturally navigate the full fretboard and focus on the music—without getting tripped over by chords and lack of finger synchronization.
Music isn’t a mathematical formula. Once you know the rules, it’s up to you to step outside those rules. Once you implement Chord Builder in your playing, it’s going to open creative doors and opportunities, and you’ll find yourself growing as a player.

I know how it is in the other courses. Long, rambling lessons that you quickly lose interest in. You don’t want that. Chord Builder is made up of 30+ short, sharp lessons, made to watch, learn, and practice when you’re short on time. You can learn and retain each step, and see a clear progression in your playing.
You’re not a music scholar, and honestly, neither am I. I don't use difficult technical jargon or unnecessary language. Instead, you get direct access to someone who gets you. I break the different elements of masterful guitar playing down into concepts that actually make sense to you, at your level of expertise, without making it complicated.
Honestly, copying someone else is much easier—but it’s not helping you be creative. With Chord Builder, you’ll learn to develop your own style and personality, rather than just copying your favourite musicians. This is about being your own creative self. It can be scary… but boy, is it worth it.
Whether you’ve been playing for 30 years, or three months, Chord Builder teaches you the steps to master your guitar. You’ll learn how to push past those technical blocks, master the full fretboard, and understand the stepby-step method to playing natural, beautiful chord progressions.
David really does an outstanding job breaking things down in simple terms. I went from playing a basic pentatonic scale with some feel to outstanding more pro-like after 25 years not playing much.
After decades of sporadic fits and starts, I am enjoying new leaps forward as a guitar player and having more fun than ever, Thanks David!
...and you just want to feel free again. After all, playing guitar should be an escape. But if you’re not escaping anymore… what’s the point? If you’re ready to fall back in love with guitar, this is for you.
Chord Builder is made to help you improve your skills—so you need to know how to play first for it to be valuable to you. It won’t make any sense if you’ve never picked up a guitar before (and I don’t want to waste your time!).
Music isn’t a competition: it’s a gift that everyone can enjoy. So if you’re trying to compete with other players and be the best, then this course definitely isn’t for you.
If you’re completely satisfied with how you’re already playing, then the Chord Builder program won’t work for you. But that’s awesome news— let’s jam some time.
Chord Builder is all about unsticking whatever’s holding you back, about learning to free up your chord knowledge, and gaining the ability to play the songs that are actually in your head.
I picked up my first guitar at 15 years old—and from that moment I was hooked. Right away, I loved the feeling of picking up the instrument and just… playing.
Obviously, that didn’t come right away. I knew I had to practice. But I wanted it to be effortless. Free. So in my naivety, I took a different route. I started teaching guitar almost straight away. Not because I was any good at it. No— it was because I realized teaching guitar would solidify what I was learning at the time and help me truly understand how to play.
And it worked. Since then, I’ve spent the last 30 years teaching guitar to players all over the world.
I realized that there were more people out there like me. People that, while they enjoyed the theory, just wanted to be able to express what was in their head out into their music. People that wanted to feel free and relaxed every time they picked up the guitar.
Over the past two decades I’ve taught the Chord Builder method to over 3,000 adult guitar players. All of them have dramatically increased their chord knowledge and developed their own musical voice—and you can too.
My goal is to teach you how to break free from old habits... and finally play from the heart.
