Welcome to What The Chord! Here's where to start...
Hi friend!
My name is Vedran Gavric and I'm the founder of WhatTheChord.com. I wanted to take a second to say hello and welcome you to the family.
I don't take it lightly that you subscribed and I am truly grateful and excited that you decided to join.
I know this is going to be an absolute game changer for you when it comes primarily to guitar playing, no matter what stage you're currently in, and I’m here to show you that learning process can be easy and fun.
To show my gratitude for being on my email list, I’ve made a new video to accompany the free guitar guide and explain the method in practice, with guitar in my hands. First time talking about what should have been discussed a long ago - division of guitar progression patterns into comprehensible fretboard elements.
There's a bigger picture regarding the fretboard, that no one seems to be talking about - a hidden geometry that unlocks everything, and it couldn't be more simple. With watching just this one video, your guitar understanding will skyrocket, and you'll learn so much about how this instrument works. The video will demonstrate the geometric approach to guitar progression, so it's not just words.

Here’s what else you can expect from me:
First of all, more awesome free lessons! My first website is two weeks old today, I made it so I can share everything I’ve learned over the two and a half decades of playing, song making and performing, from Vienna to New York.
I’ll be also be covering the song deconstruction process, as it is one of the best ways to learn the guitar - adding new songs to your repertoire while learning to play.
Take two-seconds and join What The Chord Facebook page, as this will be our primary method of communication outside of email updates, and again you won't want to miss a thing:
Thanks again for becoming a subscriber of What The Chord!

P.S. Since we'll be communicating, I'll share more of my incredible life story (from growing up in war-struck Bosnia to living in sunny California where I'm writing you from now) somewhere along the way, so you get to know me better. It's a pleasure to have you!

Hey my friend, Vedran here again - got something cool for you. This one’s a real gold - because once you see it, you can’t unsee it. I just posted an short interactive lesson on what I call the “B-Rule.” It explains why the fretboard breaks your patterns, shapes, and scale logic - and how to fix it visually. ▶️ Watch the B-Rule video here: 👉Click Here to Watch the YouTube Lesson You’ll see: How the tuning gap between G and B reshapes the entire neck Why scale shapes feel “off” across strings...
I Just dropped a new lesson that I think you’re really going to dig. Something very familiar with a twist. It’s all about adding chromatic notes to the pentatonic scale - a simple but powerful way to bring new flavor, movement, and tension to your solos. And I don't mean "Just add the blue notes" - adding the full chromatic range creates a completely new dimension! Especially if you're playing the b-shape pentatonic pattern across the fretboard. Whether you’re improvising or writing, this...
"Shine" by Collective Soul, with the phrase "let your light shine" is a metaphor for living a righteous life that illuminates the world around you. This song is not a religious one, but it is there to bring peace and call upon our inner power. It helps the ones in trouble, it helps me now, after my dad passed away last month, and I know he would want me to go back to my music, and shine even brighter. It hasn't been easy but here I am, thanking God and the Universe every day that I'm here,...
