BENEFITS

Understand Music Theory - don't just mimic!

"Build a Chord" Example: Suppose you want to know the notes in a C7 chord. Slide the card until "C" is at the root position. Lookup the formula for a "7" chord. The corespnding notes for the 1, 3, 5, b7 formula are C, E, G and A#. These notes can be played in any order or octave to make the C7 chord.
"Build a Scale" Example: Suppose you are trying to learn the D Mixolydian Mode. Sounds pretty tough and menacing, doesn't it? Just slide the insert to the D root position, find the formula for Mixolydian. You will discover with the Music Decoder that it is only one note different from the Major Scale. Instantly find that D, E, F#, G, A, B, C are the ingredients.

Learn how chords and scales are formulated and forget about memorizing!

HOW IT WORKS

Learn key signatures
The Music Decoder is a visual aid slide chart that is simple in form but packed full of essential music basics. Instantly see what notes are in any chord or scale in any key. If you are an aspiring musician, a professional, a vocalist, a music teacher, and especially the 'play-by-ear' musician, the Music Decoder will make learning your instrument much easier. The front side of the Music Decoder breaks down every aspect of the Major Scale. The terminology and formulas get confusing with 2 dimensional music teaching books, but in 3 dimensions, learning key signatures is easy.
On the backside of the Music Decoder, you can determine the notes of any chord or scale in any key, instantly. Learn how music is put together, and forget about memorizing novels of information.

Chord Builder

The Music Decoder takes the difficult and makes it easy by showing you WHY a chord is a chord and WHY a scale is a scale. Why memorize multiplication tables when you can learn how to multiply? It's the same with music. Slide the insert to the desired root note, find the formula of the desired chord, and the Music Decoder will show you what notes are required.

Find the notes in any chord

Decode any scale Scale Builder

Learning scales doesn't have to be hard. When you compare the scales formulas, you’ll find the scales with elaborate names are just an alteration of the Major scale, just no one typically teaches it this way. By identifying the note names of a particular scale, you can get instant results and apply them to soloing.

The inside slider also contains valuable information such as musical definitions, optional key signatures, and music theory basics. No matter what level of learning, or if you've never taken lesson one, the Music Decoder will help put it all together.
