[Jrredwing8]

hey i have that same guitar

[JAZwillyburg]

what makes you want to waste your life making so many videos? Instead, you could LIVE:):

[bears7777777]

It wouldn't make the fret buzz if you use light or very light strings (they do have different types) I would only use it for just playing around because it WILL NOT HELP YOU LEARN. only for fun. :D

[janusego1]

funny lookin' mutha

[8000cheese]

I make my chords like a man! Who's with me!?

[johnstangg]

Maybe you should learn how to play guitar foreal? Yeah, do that

[petey815]

@johnstangg I think he does, he's just reviewing somthing

[edoardomorellimusic]

wtf ... i mean... I have no words ... anyway....it sounds horrible

[aZazelinfinium]

Haha...you're a dork...but thanks for your info...it was helpful!

[marcellica1114]

the dude who made this product is probably gunna make something to wipe your but for u to

[Halon00bdude1]

wow that doesnt take any skill you can cheat at activities but you cant cheat your way through life

[komputerjeanyus]

Man, they should color code the buttons like in Rockband! I think it is cheesy and for people who are to lazy to take the investment of time to learn how to play the guitar. Good video though!

[DethklokNirvana]

lol its guiter hero for reals "You cant play the guitar by pressing buttons, boy!" "I'll show you!"

[stonecarver771]

I have a better device that plays all the cords plus all majors and minors. let me know if you ever want the link

[davidssh1]

[batkiller54]

[guitar333ify]

Video Camera Angle Fails!!

[Lilrocker5150]

this thing sucks

[MiesterN]

funny how a device like this can cause so much anger :-D,

i bet someone with 2 instead of 5 fingers will really appreciate this...

[IrishWhiskey101]

@MiesterN well then let the person who has 2 fingers play but somebody with 5 fingers better learn the proper way god damnit

[zeppelinfan1994]

singing needs some work

[cyclone4t4]

UG FTW!!!!!!!!!!!

[ariekanibalie]

I don't care if you're disabled, retarded or just pathologicaly lazy, this thing is fuckin' bullshit. The guitar is one of the easiest instruments to learn how to play; you can learn a C, G and D chord in an afternoon, allowing you to play millions of songs.

If an afternoon of practice is too much of an investment, then you must ask whether you have any business playing a musical instrument at alI. You may wish to invest in a PS3 and a Guitar Hero game instead.

[wiseguystudios]

Not many people wish to spend time practicing the guitar, some people might just want to sing and might use this to provide some backing to their songs. If you see someone in a cab do you chase after them saying why dont you drive, it's easy to learn WHY DONT YOU DRIVE.

You sir are a freak to get so angry over people wanting to make music. Does it matter how it's done, philistine.

[ariekanibalie]

I am fully aware of being a freak, thank you, but you reiterate my point exactly: so many people these days want so many things, to be a writer, a musician, a painter, and what not - and I'm guilty of this myself, for that matter - but very few are commited enough to commit, in the form of putting in some hours - if not years - to get better. Ours is a culture of distraction and endless commodification, everything always has to be made even easier than it already was, that's all.

[ariekanibalie]

PS, I don't think calling ME "philistine" is appropriate here. I'm the one trying to uphold certain, arguably "elitist," standards as to what counts as "playing" guitar, while you are apperantly of the anything goes, as long as you enjoy it persuasion.

[wesselbindt]

I'm sorry, but no. I've seen people who had been playing for three years, and still couldn't properly play a G chord. And besides, it's not the easiest to learn to play, every instrument is equally hard to master perfectly.

[ushuaia213]

@wesselbindt they dont play for three years, they have aguitar for 3 years, they are not reals players

[wesselbindt]

I didn't realize you knew them too. My bad.

[sanduuuu]

you're absolutely right, sir. (:

[kelvingregg]

very clever device a bit like the way a music box works

[remo2012]

600 plus videos on the internet.

[johnstangg]

@remo2012 fuck u

[stellar781]

Herbert Midgley, the Internet Legend, ????

why this guy is the legend of the internet?

[remo2012]

it does work, not the greatest, however if you can't play it will help you out.

[johnoconnor59]

when i first saw this contraption i honestly

thought it was a mousetrap !!!! regards paddy o toole .... ireland..

[adyman1]

noob

[Ubernaut]

This guy's fiddling with the camera angle really cracks me up. lol

Good review though.

[Carmylita]

Keep on dreaming, they won't teach those chords in one lesson, they'll teach about the guitar its self, the parts the fret boards and so on. I intend to buy one.

[Eyedunno]

Okay, I took a few months of guitar lessons when I was 16. In the very first class, they did teach about the parts of the guitar, tuning, simple music theory, and so on, but I also learned C, F, and G major chords. By the second or third lesson, I'd learned D, A, and E, which covers all the chords on this thing, plus several. And this thing won't let you play minor chords or seventh chords, so it's like a crutch that makes you even more crippled.

[kristinlynn86]

I am a Music Therapist who is working with a man with Down Syndrome who needs to work on his pincer and palmer grasp. His fingers aren't able to make the shapes needed to plays chords but the guitar is extremely motivating for him. This device is a great adaptive tool so he can work on palmer and pincer grasps while feeling successful with an instrument he enjoys. I believe this device is probably meant as an adaptive tool for people who aren't able to play the chords, not as a crutch.

[SlowDownSmith]

That is so sad ;-;

[unstrung13]

i've been playing guitar for a long time with only two strings. i only need one finger to play 'any' chord. of course, there's no minors nor sevenths, but it makes it easier to strum and sing. i've used this setup to teach quite a few people the basics of guitar, so they can concentrate on rhythm and timing on the right hand and the left has a much simpler job. now i play it exclusively just because it's so easy  to sing and play with. check my videos, you'll see.

[jjuup]

For the price of that device you can get one guitar lesson from a guitar teacher who will teach you to play those chords for real.

[joeisalout]

Thanks for your review. :) I saw this thing on Skymall, and was really tempted to buy it and try it on my dad's guitar ('cuz my hands are super small and weak), but the fact that it can't play minor chords at all totally blows. :(
