how many guys would be interested just in being able to play this or that song...let them learn that way...maybe in the future they will want a deeper knowledge

cheers again!

@73maxoneit I agree! Cheers!

Why are there so many haters posting comment on here? First off he says its a "learning tool" a few times throughout the video. Second, you dont have to know how to read all kinds of music sheets to play the guitar. If you are going to post a comment on how stupid you think this guitar is please dont use phrases like "most easiest" it makes you sound like an idiot. Also stop trying to make yourselves sound like amazing guitar teachers....if you are so awesome why are you watching his videos?

@javaaaaaaaamug teehee;)

You are my guitar sage, but this seems just wrong. There's something to be said about making mistakes, sounds and tones will teach you more than learning, video game style, how to touch a series of red dots. Watching your expressions, your bends, your "feel", no way a bunch of red dots can substitute for that. Learn by ear!

[yourguitarsage]

@cladouce Agreed that the dots do not give you feel. But they are a helpful learning tool. But just like my vids, they only show you kind of what to do. YOU have to make it come to life. Whether it's dots on a fretboard, dots on a page or paint on a palette, these things are only tools. WE must make them come to life. Thank you for the kind comments. I appreciate your opinion too.

@CTrane88 To know it all, one must be master ear player, know the number system by heart and have all of the patterns down. Different people learn in different ways and in fact many of the guitar icons never knew how to read music. I was a classical guitar major so I know how to read music, but hardly EVER use it. Orchestra or pit musicians use it exclusively, but are not the best ear players. Some folks are better with patterns and others with notes. I can appreciate the opinion. Thanks man.

[73maxoneit]

I am 38, I played for 28 years, formally trained classical guitar player, but I studied flamenco, jazz, rock and so on, with seminars with some cool guys like Frank Gambale and Tommy Emmanuel.

This guitar is two things:

- a great learning tool for the mechanical part of guitar learning (coordination, memorizing patterns, scales...), nothing more than that, but that's already a big help

- a great tool for someone not interested in learnng music and so on, but just in playing!

@cladouce People should realize NOT all brains are the same. Many people learn differently then others. This is strictly information. Why be afraid of info. I cant watch somebody play a guitar and relate it to MY hands, charts also confuse me. The info gets jumbled in my head. I CAN follow dots and memorize scales . Same outcome different method. Many dyslexics and others need different tools to learn. Get outside the box. Feel and bends are easy for me. Its the patterns.

Also, what kind of cool military lookin' shirt is that? I want one!

Nice demo. The Fretlight seems useful for learning complex scales. I use books, the web, etc., but sometimes there is a disconnect between my guitar and the page. Especially when trying to learn a new complicated scale. Having the guitar light up and show the way seems like another great tool in one's arsenal. I don't understand why people say this is a terrible idea because you have to really learn guitar by ear. Lights will never assist in great playing, but they're not supposed to!

[KaZnucks]

@cladouce With Guitar Tab Pro 6 and the Fretlight addition, you can download any tab, any song, and learn how to play it incredibly fast. If you are able to hit the lights at the right time, with the correct strike, whether that would be a vibrato or a hammer on or pulloff, you learn how to play the song perfectly.

Just like any sheet music, if you play the note at the right time with the correct strike, you play the song correctly. This TOOL just makes learning how to play much, much faster.

erich i would love to see more vids of you just ripping dude :D

you're awesome! :)

that is all :) lol

From let's say 14 years of experience (being 18) and a few years' teaching and tutoring experience I would say that everyone learns in a different way. You could perhaps group it into for example the maths-like skills to read music, the aural skills to listen, or just the hard work and hands-on practise etc of a different kind of student. Personally I wouldn't have one of these at this stage in my playing, but if it helps others learn in their own style, that can only ever be a good thing!

[MetalHeadEmperor]

i have a question, is it easy to memorize these scales, chords, licks, runs.. etc???? i feel like if i were to get one i would just play the red dots and run through it.. but i wouldnt be able to memorize it...
