Chordelia Prototype

This is the prototype of my invention called Chordelia. The singing's pretty ropey(!), and it looks quite odd in places, but hey, it's our first effort - we just wanted to get something out there..

Thanks, Steve. You have a point, but certainly the left hand is a problem for lots of us...

[orangemooon]

[rosebeehives]

Thanks OrangeMoon - I agree completely!

(Things are happening though...)

Our first order! Thanks, Malachy. That qualifies for a 100% discount.. Working on the next prototype..

you clearly have some engineering talent

but the only use for this would be for a person with a disability . part of the reason for learning a musical instrument is the pleasure a musician achieves mastering it.

this invention limits the use of the guitar .

a proper guitarist can play hundreds of different chords,and their different inversions ,and has the scope to retune his guitar to lots of different tunings to play modal chords etc .

[rosebeehives]

Spoken like a true musician - and of course I agree. But what about all those who aren't as clever/committed as you are? This is for people like me who gave up learning because it was just too hard. Hey - I'm finally learning to sing in tune - and it's fun!

hey, i recognise her. she is all grown up now.i still think a simple colour code would help for people with disabilities. i am sure some of the guys up at Co-Action would love to test drive it for you.best of luck, mate

This invention is not for musicians.

This is for ordinary people to be able to play a range of useful chords without years of practice.

I spent years struggling with my guitar. eventually gave up and bought a tenor Sax.

Still got the guitar though...

So dig that guitar out from the back of the wardrobe, buy it a new set of strings, clamp on a Chordelia, and have a great summer.

Chordelia is cool!

i saw you on dragons den last night and fair play to ya i hope u do well. but u said that the hardest part of learing guitar is the left hand. havin taught guitar i find the opposite. if someone has no rythm or timing u can't teach them, not even with this contraption! but good luck

[feyned]

Wow for someone you would love to play guitar,

I think this is a fab idea
