I’ll be at the Mojo Manchester Guitar Show on 2nd August, with a stand where I’ll be showcasing and selling my Mode Decoder along with my Triads booklet. The Mode Decoder is available for £10, and with every one, you’ll get the Triads booklet free, which is a handy companion for visualising and understanding triads on the fretboard in a clear, practical way.

It’s really aimed at self-taught players, people who often find the traditional route of learning theory a bit heavy, or something that gets in the way of what we actually want to do, which is play. I’m self-taught myself, so I’ve tried to keep things as direct and usable on the instrument as possible. It’s not primarily for professionals, though plenty of players at all levels find it useful, including songwriters who want to choose chords more freely and write in modal flavours.

If you’ve seen me at the Aintree Guitar Show, it’s the same setup again. It’s a simple, hands-on space where you can pick things up, ask questions, and see how the system works in real time. If you’re into guitar theory but want something that actually makes sense on the instrument, do come and say hello.
