Jon used to hate music theory.
One time, he even fell asleep in a 1-on-1 music theory lesson! Everything changed when Jon learned jazz.
He realised how fun and useful music theory is!
After sharing it with Jun Yu, Jon knew that he had to share this pot of gold with everyone.
That’s when they got the idea to create a music theory card game!
Equipped with Keith's epic design skills, the 3 embarked on an epic music adventure.
And that's how Lord of the Chords was born!
Together, the trio fight the forces of boredom with geeky goodness, composer puns and musical fun!

This was a birthday present and the recipient is very happy with it.

Lord of the chords is great to learn music theory and review music theory. Interval initiate is more advanced, but fun. Only complaint is that the keyboard box for the expansion does not move like a piano (it doesn't have to have sound, but can the keys move like a piano?).
Although some of us have music experience, the others were able to play as well.
I love it because it's different ♥️

Everything is great about it
Great tool for learning more about the patterns in music.
It's possible if you're a math wiz you'll get this even with no musical background, but the concept of building and scoring points with musical triads is intriguing. The artwork is punny and raucous. I am unsure what the expansion packs bring to the game, but there are two ways to play the base game, and Allegro Mode became our favorite for its constant speed rounds and somewhat simpler rules.

Thank you for made this game!! i'm very happy with my Game, it's an excellent artwork!! Thank you
I loved the game. It is made of high quality material, and it is fun to play.
We had some trouble to understand the gameplay, but we gradually picked it up. We played the easy version, and we will eventually learn to play the full version.
I would have liked to get more than one wheel (can I bought more separately?). None of us really know how to make the intervals and we all wanted to use the wheel… also, it would have been better if the interval cards colors matched with the ones in the wheel.
Love my new favorite cup! I’ll be Bach!
I had a query about the product and postage and the staff at Lord of the Chords deal with my query in a fast, professional and friendly manner. Well done guys, another excellent product.
Ordered the Lord of the Chords: Bach for an Encore package and this was the first part to arrive.
Now...technically I ordered the package for my brother, who's a music student, but...I might just have to keep this mug for myself, haha.
(I mean...musical puns AND gently making fun of Starbucks...what is not to love?)
Customer service was top-notch also.
In short, get yourself one of these bad boys. Just the thing for when you need to WACHET AUF and smell the coffee (or other beverage of choice).
Hello Jonathan and team,
I wanted to thank you for creating this amazing Starbachs mug! It reached us just in time for St. Nikolaus Day (A pre-Christmas holiday we celebrate in Germany via the USA) This has officially become my son’s favorite mug. He is a BIG classical music aficionado. We can’t wait to finally be able to play Lord of the Chords!
Wishing you and your team a safe and beautiful holiday season.

I've had the expansion for quite some time, but I haven't quite yet tried it out! It looks like a lot more fun to test my music theory that I've learned from college many years ago.
An amazing game, had a lot of fun to play with my students!
