I play guitar and have for years, My wife is interested in learning to play but the problem is she is left handed.Do they make a left handed version of this?And also the guitar I want to get for her is an electric acoustic 12 string, do they make these for a 12 string?I would be grateful if you could answer back.
@tappakeggaday1 Yes we do make it for left handers, but its for 6 string guitar... Actually, I never tried it on a 12 string, but who knows? Thanks for your comment...
@tappakeggaday1 im left handed (i write, eat, ect left handed) but i learned the guitar right handed, its really the best option if your left handed, because it is your strongest hand, and you need that strength on the fret hand.
Thanks for your wonderful review, im wondering if this will work for my teen daughter who wants to learn, and then I maybe wont have to pay for a guitar teacher?! Thanks very much for your very good review, -S
@3greatgreyhounds3 Yes it works for all ages. Remember that it is not a free ticket though, it still requires practice. But nothing worth while isn't without a little work... Thanks for your nice comment...
@trixie10121 and for those of us that just want to play music but have arthritas it is a very cool device, and yes it has heklped me learn how to play real chords..sorry
@stevenbvr3 Chaz is a really cool guy who is trying to help us promote a neat little tool that is helping allot of people to play the guitar. Hey Chaz, you hang in there man. I think your doing just fine... Thanks...
@AstralJunkie for some people like myself that has arthritas but still wants to play for there own enjoyment it is really cool, am happy for you that you can form the bar chords, but you should respect the fact that not everyone is as blessed as you are.
Hey man nice work on the song. And nice review. I think I'm past the point of finding much use in the EZ Chord for myself, but when I teach, this may be a very useful tool. Good Find!
I don't know if I agree with the notoriously-hard part... Guitar is known as one of the easiest of the "real" instruments to play (whistles, etc aside), I'd say, judging by the number of never-had-a-lesson people who manage to do just fine on it. It does take practice but let's not get ahead of ourselves - guitar is not difficult to learn like, say, violin or cello. Anybody who's note tone-deaf and devotes a month to guitar can play one enough to get by, with or without this device.
Thanks for the intelligent review. Please check out my new songs posted on "davisezc" on youtube. The songs and many more, are full symphony pieces, written and composed with my EZ Chord. I invented the "Chord" as a composition tool for people like myself, who have music in their head, but never played an instrument. The music is real and it's 100% original. All my friends laugh and say "what the hell is that", "Idon't know", and I say "neither do I".
Yes, it has been pretty hard for me. I have arthritis you know. But I am playing with a really good group of professionals. It has helped me. All of our stuff is completely original. And so how many original songs have you written? Let's hear it... Peace out...
The guitar is just one instrument of 17 different instruments used in the song: "Essence of Kennedy", written and composed with the Davis EZ Chord (posted on davisezc). I am playing electric guitar with a compliment of horns, violins, cellos, piano, drums, bass and other effects of our band: "The Davis & Leonard Symphony". My disability has not stopped me from playing, thanks to the EZ Chord. Check out our symphony. We are posting much more. Everything from simple rock to a space odyssey.
seems to me that a gadget like this severely limits your songwriting. 23 chords?! Sure, thousands of songs have been written with just major and minor barre chords... but seriously, i couldn't imagine writing songs without 2nds, 4ths. 6ths. 7ths, 9ths, ect... plus, you can only play one voicing as long as you have that thing strapped to your hand...
cool toy if you just want to goof around on the guitar, but if you want to take music seriously... there are no shortcuts
holy god, i thank you x100000. When he started talking about the group of teenagers it said "McCain, mormons want to uh checkup disease in court." lmfao, i love transcribe audio"
What I was trying to say was, yes. It is a neat and innovative tool. I was making the argument that you should learn to play guitar the real way. Don't call your self a guitarist if your using this thing to play. There is no real playing in it.
Ya missed the point. This is something that can bring music back into people's lives. Ya just gotta love the fact that some one can come up with this. It's made alot of people happy. No one has called themselves a guitarist. It's all about doing what you can for others. Thanks to those who are gifted to do so.......AMEN
I'm not trying to argue. And I see the point in it clearly. It is a very neat tool. I will probably get one myself :D I'm just saying. Its not a very constructive learning tool. No hard feelings or anything. I'm just kind of putting a warning into this. It doesn't teach you how to play. Its just a fun and easy way to make music :) Nothing wrong with that.
Dude, it is awesome that you are playing, and more awesome you are bringing it to others. Keep it up and God bless you. The world needs more people bringing it music.
That device is pretty awesome. I have short fingers and carpel tunnel in both hands and it has really let me be able to play the guitar. I think playing music no matter if you use this device or not you are still a guitarist
You know, no offense man, but this device isn't making you any better at guitar. If your goal is to have fun playing simple songs and to just doodle on it, by all means go ahead. But I hope you aren't calling yourself a guitarist, because this device is doing all of the work. The barre chord is one of the first thing a novice learns.
You're better off just practicing and getting better with your real fingers, man.
@Wtsmyageagain You know no offense man, but you are being kind of a total judgmental d-bag aren't you? . Anything that helps someone play some music is awesome. There are tons of people who used to play but no longer can b/c of injury, MS, carpal, arthritis, stroke whatever - who this will help. And there are tons of people this will encourage to try. Make a joyful noise unto the Lord - he is sincere and he's bringing music to others. What have YOU done lately to make a better place?
@moucon Whoa, did I not say I endorse him playing simple songs and to just have fun with it? I never once bagged on the people who have the physical disabilities you listed, and quite frankly what I do to make the world a better place is completely and utterly irrelevant..
Ya miss the point dude....It's all about helping out others who have trouble figuring it out. Some just need to know how to get started. Not all is gifted!!! Some know how to play , but like they use to. And guess what.........now they can regardless.
You missed the point. It's about helping out anybody who has a problem of picking it up or for those who use to play but can't because of a missing fingure or arthritis. In time everyone will be able to play with out the teaching tool. It just gets you into it. Thanks for comments!
