The Guitar WheelTM is the most comprehensive, all-in-one teaching aid for music theory. It complements all music theory books or lesson guides.

The Guitar Wheel is a dynamic tool designed to help you understand and visualize music theory. It is used by teachers, students, and musicians of all levels. It’s a useful teaching aid, songwriting/composing tool, and a quick reference of music theory.

The Guitar Wheel has two sides which display music theory in a unique way. The Guitar Side helps guitarists visualize how music theory works, the way many guitarists are used to thinking about music—on their guitar fretboard! Flip over to the Piano Side for more in-depth music theory for piano, or any instrument, and even vocalists.

The Guitar Wheel is the only music theory tool of its kind so enthusiastically accepted by guitarists and endorsed by top musicians and teachers.

Quick answers. Smart design. The Guitar Wheel is a two-ounce reference library of music theory that fits right in your guitar case. It is a simple, easy-to-use tool that contains volumes of music theory concepts from basic to intermediate. Studying music theory in any key is made possible by turning the key selector tab. Find quick answers to questions on the go or study it to better understand music theory. The more you look at the Guitar Wheel, the more “jumps out” at you and the mysteries of music theory will begin to unravel.

On the Guitar Side music theory information is displayed on a scaled down guitar neck, like a curved map of the guitar fret board. It shows major, minor, and diminished chords, chord fingerings, chord formulas, names of notes, and inversions. Strings and frets are labeled, and chord shapes are green for major, red for minor, and orange for diminished. The chord shapes help you find and play chords on the guitar.

The Guitar Wheel is like having two wheels in one. The Piano Side is a sizable music theory reference for any musician. This side shows major, minor, pentatonic, and blues scales, chord formulas, and sections helpful for transposing and finding concert pitch. A piano staff and piano keyboard are illustrated on the Piano Side as a supportive reference.

The Guitar Wheel is a great music theory teaching aid for music teachers and students from the university level all the way down to middle school. We've been told by hundreds of musicians and teachers that they wish they had Guitar Wheels when they were learning music theory. Now many of them are using the Guitar Wheel as an educational tool with their students.

Small and made of tough, flat, light-weight plastic, you won’t have to worry about damaging the Guitar Wheel. A two-page, color instruction Quick Start guide is included in the package.
