Introducing
Chords on Command
by Jared Borkowski
The ultimate and most practical way to learn guitar chord theory and map out the fretboard
Theory is so often taught without an exciting goal, a clear end-point, or a specific skill you can walk away with feeling good about. Not this time.
No more Googling. No more guessing.
Chords on Command is a complete program for learning how to analyze or create any possible chord on the guitar, from scratch, anywhere on the fretboard.
It's theory with an exciting and practical purpose that anyone can learn.
Crack the code to chords. All of them.

You'll be able to identify, or design from scratch, literally any chord, anywhere on the guitar, no matter how advanced or complicated
No more looking up chord shapes
You'll never have to look up how to play any chord ever again
Understand complex chord labels
You'll know all the proper naming and labeling conventions for all chords, simple or complicated
Be an asset to other musicians
If a friend or bandmate asks you what any chord is you'll know the answer or be able to figure it out quickly

Hi! I'm Jared.
I'm a guitarist from Seattle who has been teaching and playing professionally for twenty years.
I've used the exact information that I teach in Chords on Command to play in countless professional situations including performing and recording with artists such as Macklemore, Stewart Copeland of The Police, Allen Stone, and Ben Smith of Heart.
I have a degree in Jazz Studies from the University of Washington School of Music where I also extensively studied classical guitar performance, music theory, and composition.
I post weekly lesson videos on my YouTube channel called Sound Guitar Lessons and I love playing jazz guitar, practicing classical guitar repertoire, and writing songs.
I've taught the theory skills from this course to hundreds of students over many years, slowly refining the most effective approach, making sure that the method works, and getting exciting results. It's now all distilled into this complete, step-by-step, self-paced, online course.

- Wolfgang Kraus
Wolfgang Kraus
The approach of "Chords on Command" is completely different. You learn from scratch how intervals are put together to form chords, all over the fretboard.
Jared provides a clearly structured and logical plan of what and how to practice. You have to put in the work yourself, but there is no doubt about whether you will be able to do it. I even started playing jazz tunes and can sing better than before 😉 Thanks Jared, for these great courses!
Dan Harvey
While I know a reasonable knowledge of theory regarding chord construction, it has been difficult to try to memorize chord shapes and their applications. That's where Chords on Command has really helped me.
The preliminary lessons reinforced my existing knowledge of intervals. This portion of the program alone would have been well worth the price. For me, however, the highlight of the program were the 5 chord templates and learning how they are used. Simply knowing the structure of the templates and the intervals enables the player to construct chords "on the fly" with minimal effort.
Sean Wholey
Jared explains his lessons in a clear and logical way, making it easy to understand. No matter what your level of expertise is, his lessons will be beneficial to you. I can now more readily identify any chord that I may come across or, in turn, create beautiful chords of my own.
His techniques are like nobody else that I have found and it has really made a difference. I give Jared my highest recommendation.
