About Me

My name is Austin, and I’ve always sucked at the guitar. But that all changed when I started building the Chord Genome Project – a searchable index of songs organized by their chords.

I soon discovered that with 3 simple chords, I could play thousands of songs. And by adding a 4^th beginner chord, I could play thousands more – all within easy reach.

Am I a rock star? No. But I can do something I never could before.

I can create MUSIC.

It’s a wonderful feeling – one I’ve spent 20+ years chasing.

Better still, I can share this gift with my kids.

Will you enjoy the same success?

I honestly believe you will. And with a tool like the Chord Genome Project, it certainly won’t take you 20 years.

So best of luck.

And if you haven’t already, Sign Up Today to see how the platform really works.

Happy strumming.

Important: The ability to add your own chords allows you to create a list of songs tailored to your skill level. Enter familiar chords, and every song will be an easy one (by definition). You can also use genre and decade filters to target music you actually want to play.
