Cool pleas subscribe to m'y channel i a magicien
cool...1st i've seen of it
Can you teach me how to play far from home by five finger death punch it would mean a lot
I wasn't having a go at Marty reason I've replied here is so Marty can see my response! I did not watch the video seen these gadgets before!, And I thought it was out of character for you Marty as a teacher to support such a thing these gadgets are extremely bad and habit forming! And I also know Marty puts out lots of free videos and I am greatfull for this if Theres a song I want to learn this is where I go first always!, As the way in which you break things dwn is second to none on here besides active melody imo, I know ppl may say but it's great for older guys who can't fret properly anymore due to age and illness but I've not met one man nor woman in there later yrs having any desire to use a form of well cheating and as for beginners definite no no I wouldn't advise and as I did not watch the clip I retract my statement about the whole money thing!, I still respect you as a musician and will continue to use you as my go too guy when I'm looking for new material. Moving on I've been looking all over the net for someone teaching if I'm wrong by skynyrd I know it's a pretty simple song but have no clue the chord progression if you could one day consider it would be much appreciated! Lol! Cheers!
Come on my man. Toss it in the bin. Work hard with your finger tips.
I actually bought one of these for a friends child.. Listening to me playing my guitar brought him such joy, unfortunately he’s been blind from birth but his other senses are superb so i gave him an old guitar of mine and in no time he got a little rhythm going and then a few chords .. I have to say it’s one of the best things i’ve ever done in my life for sitting with him and jamming just makes him smile and brings such enjoyment for him... He’s even recognising chords by ear in a song and then replicating it himself.. It’s beautiful to see..
Legend. 👑
You will be blessed for this! I teared up reading it!
So awesome! Like Hunter, I teared up. Much love my friend.
That so cool. 😁
Need get 2nd gituar and put dings on back neck sos learn how to use without the chord buddy
If this gadget gets a guitar in a kid's hands and helps them past the initial frustrations of learning guitar, then it's worth it's weight in gold. I've always felt that's the most decisive time in a beginner's journey, you either get past those first hurdles and stick with it or give it up entirely and never look at an axe again. So in that regard, I give it 4 out of 5 Marty hats🎩🎩🎩🎩
Also, could you imagine how a special needs child or handicapped child would feel if he or she were able to enjoy the gift of music. This device could make that happen and that would be incredible!!!!!
I like you!
Me too!!😂😂😂
J Bolo I have a daughter with Down Syndrome who plays my old 21 chord autoharp, loves it. I'm ordering this for her in addition to restringing her new acoustic guitar with super light strings, set of nines, because she has poorer muscle tone than we typically have, and very tender fingertips, can't press hard enough on the 10's and 11's on our other acoustic guitars.
thank you for changing my opinion, my first impression was hateful to this gadget, but reading your comment, really made me reconsider my hateful opinion, thank you !!!!
@@MartyMusic It works w/ 12 String Guitars too. It makes your Guitar become an Autoharp. If you go form the 4'th finger to the 1'st finger it produces a 4 chord progression in G: G, D, Em, C.
I know an 85 year old man that uses this. He goes out and plays and sings at bars and open mics. He said this is the best thing ever created and gave him a new happiness in life playing the guitar. He said he has over 10 of them and replaces the rubber pads when they wear out.
Just grab your guitar and follow my lead as I guide you through each and every technique to begin ‘programming’ your hands to play every chord, scale, riff, lick, strum and progression you’ll ever need to play like a professional guitarist. CLICK HERE: 4EasyGuitarLessons.blogspot.com
Callum Lee link is not working
Lol
Maybe he should just learn to play properly
@@skefsongames why should he if he’s enjoying it that way?
It's a pretty neat way to transition from guitar hero to actually guitar playing
Best comment! Lmao
I was gonna say the same 😂
Gotta start somewhere
Mischa Sofyan or you could just learn how to play regularly but I do understand this was a joke
@@michaelbross5687 right you are!
This gadget would be really useful if you get wasted with your friends and suddenly they want you to play something.
So true literally what I was thinking also for learning new songs fast when you are a beginner makes you feel like a baller
I thought the same
Allan Henga lmao
This is just superb, I have been researching "guitar chords for beginner" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you ever come across - Fanwen Ziyaria System - (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now ) ? Ive heard some extraordinary things about it and my brother in law got great success with it.
LMFAO truue
I played guitar since 1983. I was in a very serious car accident. Almost lost my legs and arms my strenth was less 30% Chord Buddy was one of my saving grace. Im back 100%
I will say these work amazing for people other than beginners. My grandfather and my family always played country music my whole life and when my grandfather developed really bad Rheumatoid Arthritis and couldnt chord he was able to use this tool and still enjoy music up until he passed.
I got this after watching shark tank. I’ve always wanted to play guitar but it just seemed overwhelming to start. I used this for a few months and was playing songs and fell in love with playing the guitar! I took the chord buddy off after a few months and learned how to make the chords with my fingers. After the chord buddy I Wa already hooked. I now play everyday for the past 5 years and own 4 guitars!!!
This is actually why Ive just ordered one. Ive had a guitar for 5 years, tried on and off to learn but cant get my fingers around the chords.
Rhythm is no problem as I used to be a drummer.
Really hope I can get a long with this and progress with out itm
I was dismissive of this device until I heard your thoughts on it. You teach more people in day than I will in a lifetime.
I love playing my guitar but arthritis and carpal tunnel has all but made me stop. With this gadget, I can play again.
Thank you, just bought my 1st guitar at 75 years old..
I’m getting mine on Friday at 56 lol. And will get a chord buddy due to arthritis.
Just got my first today at 34 for my bday.
That is so awesome!!
Been playing for about 8 years... jam with people nothing major initially I thought this was stupid, but after reading comments and thinking about it. This is amazing... handicapped people... novices... etc.... Thanks for the review Marty!
Omg.. You numpty
Just bought one of these to go with my first guitar at 60, looking forward to getting into the groove 😃
Never give up !!!
Did it help you get going? Still sticking with it?
Anything that gets people interested in playing the guitar is a good, in my opinion. It could also possibly be helpful for people with arthritis to be able to keep on playing.
Lovely video content! Excuse me for chiming in, I would love your initial thoughts. Have you ever tried - Riddleagan Skillful Playing Remedy (Sure I saw it on Google)? It is a great one of a kind product for learning complex guitar chords and become a pro without the normal expense. Ive heard some pretty good things about it and my old buddy Taylor at last got cool success with it.
ive had 2 strokes and this is helping huge to bring back my hand and eye coordination
Chord Buddy is awesome!! Started guitar at age 50 with CB and it really kept me interested without the frustration associated with learning chord shapes. I have continue with Marty music a year-and-a-half later and still jamming! Thanks Marty thanks Chord Buddy wish I had this thing 30 years ago
Marty. I am so happy you did this review! I purchased the Chord Buddy a couple years ago and later found so many negative comments I tried learning shapes on my own. I am STILL overwhelmed and discouraged that I am unable to make the shapes possibly due to some arthritis in my index finger. So out of the drawer is my Chord Buddy system! I loved how you played some very cool and familiar tunes as well. Thank you so much!
I’m blind and have had trouble learning string instruments in the past. I saw this and had to try it. I just got it today and am already playing songs. I can now play Marry You and a bit of I’m Yours. It’s a big confidence booster. Yesterday, I was struggling to play the chords that this tool has made so simple.
Wait you’re blind but you seen this? 😐🤔
Marty this could be helpful,for people with physical handicaps,that have no other way play guitar.
On the topic of physical disability, can anyone tell me if Chord Buddy can be a help to me? I have been trying for almost two months to learn chords, but can't seem to overcome muting strings. I figure this is at least partially due to my disability. Can this be a help or get in the way of learning to get the chords down right?
@@nocturnalmadness9517 As stated in the video, this device is really only good to help you with the rhythm. In terms of learning the chord shapes, I don't believe this will help you much as you aren't actually making the shapes yourself. I wish you the best of luck, the hardest part is just getting over the first few months of frustration!
It's prefect for me. I got my arm crushed and I can play single notes but can't play chords . This is prefect
I have Cerebral Palsy and this looks like it would help tremendously
@@themudbloodchannel1584 my son has CP, and he can't chord anything on his own, but with this it would be much easier to assist him :). Really cool design.
The way it's presented makes sense. I can see where this would be valuable to very new students strictly for rhythm and strumming, but am also a big fan of "learn it by doing the proper technique". But satisfaction is a key element during progress, so if this helps or speeds up the rhythm strum, then you take it off to start working on chords, well done.
Well in order riding a bike you have training wheels then from there you take off the t-wheels then afterwards you buy a custom speed bikes so its a real zero to hero helper for newbie guitarists like me lol
I have a Chord Buddy and it has helped me stay interested in learning the guitar. When I get frustrated over keeping time or having a rhythm issue I can use my Fender with Chord Buddy attached and actually concentrate on my problem areas without struggling with open chord shapes. I just wish the CB could make the A and F chord...I highly recommend the CB for anyone who is beginning the guitar journey or who has medical issues that may prevent making open chords.
I'm coming into this late. However, does anyone know if they are developing or have developed a CB that plays the A and F? Or is it even possible? If there isn't one and it is possible I hope they
will make one.
I have to admit, when I first saw this thing my initial thought was “suck it up buttercup! You don’t need no damn crutch!” but then after some thought and reading a few of the comments here, I humbly change that opinion. It is good for some people. Kids in particular, this will at least get them strumming and playing along with other people. Guitar has an absolutely BRUTAL initial learning curve and this can help ease kids into playing. Of course once you take it off it’s going to be a real pain for them to transition to playing chords themselves but hopefully by that time the desire to play music has stuck with them and they’ll work it out. Also as someone else mentioned, this is good for people who have arthritis or other debilitating condition. The joys of playing music should be enjoyed by all, there’s nothing quite like jamming with family and friends, even if you have to start off with something like this to get going.
same thoughts bro
When you say pain do you mean physically on the fingers and wrist?
I just got the chord buddy and if it helps me learn to play then its awesome , I feel like the more people who stick with it and learn to play the better and not all of us can learn in the same ways so whatever works for you simply works ..
Marty !! Thank you so much for everything you do bud , you have been a great help to me thus far and no one comes close to your patience , calmness and caring disposition....
I just got the chord buddy, the song book & downloaded the app. Hopefully it helps! Seems to be so far. How'd it go for you?
I severed the tendon in my ring finger of my left hand. This made it basically impossible for me to continue playing guitar. This product is a God send to help me build some type of strength back in my hand. It might not be for everyone and it's a "controversial" item but if you have any hand issues (injuries, arthritis, etc) it's amazing!
I cant tell you how happy I am that I am finally going to learn.. Playing is so self absorbing it helps me forget about everything that is negative.
Peace and Love. ✌ 💘
To everybody..
I have a son ,41 years old who has does syndrome. He does really well with drums and harmonica. I have looked at products similar to this but they have too many chords which means having knowledge of music theory. The chord. Buddy is simple. G C D Am all related. You can't go wrong. This is perfect for him. Thanks for reviewing it.
I am an autistic and disabled Country artist, with cerebral palsy, which affects my muscle tone and pincer grip, affecting my ability to press or hold anything delicate, in the instance, the strings, and also affects my coordination to play chords! The Chord Buddy is a triumph and I am very excited to get one! Thank you so much for endorsing it! 🤩🤩🤩
I can see this being really handy for people who have problems with their fine motor skills.. my ex-father in law missed playing guitar after he suffered a stroke and never quite regained the dexterity needed to play but with something like this he would definitely have been able to strum a few chords again.
I have always played the traditional way but with that being said I think it is a great idea for someone that may be missing fingers like a friend of mine that is always really wanted to play guitars I think it is a great idea keep up the good work Marty enjoy your videos keep them common
I love the chord buddy because I lost my hands when I was 19 and thought I would never play the guitar again and with this I am getting back into it
You should write them. Maybe they’ll pay you to make a commercial appearance.
How can you use the Chord Buddy with no hands?
@@Smorgasvord I lay the guitar on my lap and push the button with the end of my arm
Gain
Only have trigger finger ,glad you can play a
Who needs chord buddy when you got Marty Music to teach you 😉
Well I’m using the chord buddy. And I’m taking your beginner acoustic guitar lessons as well. Doing both seems to help me. I dig it. I have had this guitar since 2007 and never really tried till now. Thanks a again for the videos and lessons. Have a great day.
Isaac I was wondering how you are doing with your Chord Buddy? I too had a guitar since 2008, as I found myself alone and wanted to teach myself. I have had the CB for a couple years but I am still overwhelmed with making shapes on my own. After watching Marty’s video, I have decided to give it another chance.
Bought one after talking with Travis Perry on the phone. This device is a very helpful device for a person like myself who has quit/giving up in the past on learning how to play guitar. Currently I have my Chord Buddy on a slightly used black Ibanez six stringed acoustic electric guitar with the goal of eventually progressing to the point of being able to play my red and white Fender Strat Squire electric guitar/amp along with a regular banjo etc. as well. Chord Buddy in my opinion is a must have for anyone who has quit after struggling to learn how to play any guitar. Oh by the way I don't usually do endorsements for anything without pay but Chord Buddy is my first exception to this rule. Thank you Travis Perry & the Chord Buddy Team!!! Bye.
I thought of this 9 years ago and did nothing with that idea. I am glad that someone acted on their idea. It really shows how much you need to take ideas out of the brain into the world. Great product.
That's a great concept and I do like it ...but in my opinion the fastest and best way for beginners to learn how to strum songs.. Is in open g with one finger.. Just like the way dolly parton plays guitar...thanks for the neat upload 😎🎼👍
Marty you sweet child of mine
You beat Kurt Cobain to the comments Axl!
Hooo no don't you comment out of turn Axl
Axl take your Paxil..
I was really skeptical...I think you sold me on this. I never have enough time to really practice once I get off work. This looks like it would motivate me more and help me with my rhythm.
The first time I saw one was a few weeks before I took up the guitar. I thought WTF who wants to cheat. Now I wish I had brought it then because it allows you to get the strumming down and build up fretting finger strength. BTW Pinky is for Blue, Ring is for Red, Green is for the middle, and Yellow the Index finger for training and strength. I got one from a mate second hand to borrow and it's great, although I'm not sure if its genuine or not. That said I will be buying one when I get the scratch up for it with the books. My learning opinion is it is good and good for people with disabilities also
Hi Marty, I really enjoyed this video about the ChordBuddy. I'm familiar with it and highly recommend it for anyone wanting to get started learning how to play guitar fast. Works great for older guitar players who may have problems with arthritis and such or have another problem of some kind with their fingers or hands. It allows them to play guitar and songs really quick.
I am a strong believer of the good old fashioned method!
Marty surprised me! I thought he was going to laugh at this device and make fun of it and pan it totally. But he taught me something. Now I want to get one for my 7 year old girl. Thanks for the review!
I have a guitar on a guitar stand literally 3 ft from where I lay my head every night. I purchased the guitar and the Cord Buddy four years ago at the same time, and haven't touched the damn thing.
To be quite frank, I forgot I owned a guitar, but this video inspired me to pick it up again.
Y'all pray for me.
And how is it going🤷♂️
@@thisyourpanda9773 No comment. 😆😆😆
Need to get this for my brother. He Absolutely cannot make near any chord shapes with his left hand (almost as bad with his right too) due to a few accidents as a butcher back when he was an apprentice. He loves guitar and has one but it just sits in the corner. Will get this gor him as a Christmas present 🎸🎄.
I think this is neat for someone that that would like to play guitar with minium the effort. Not sure I think it is as great as a learning tool.
Tell her to give me one I'm broke 😂
This is really cool, reminds me of what guitar hero did for me, it didn't teach me how to play guitar per se, but it got me extremely excited and interested in music, and helped me get the right and left hand coordination
Thanks for sharing. My granddaughter and I are using the chord buddy to learn. Great video kiddo 👍
I started guitar a year ago and only had an acoustic until I got my electric a few months after. This tool would have helped me so much prior to me getting an electric as I got frustrated with my dad's old acoustic with 15 year old strings (in which I eventually replaced don't worry). Keep it up Marty!
*P.S: A tutorial on Izabella by Jimi Hendrix would be super cool! :D
I wasn't with the idea initially, but reading two or three of the beautiful positive comments on this video really changed my mind.
More power to this chord contraption
Hmmm, I think that you really need to know the basic chords before trying to figure out rhythm strumming patterns. I still struggle with figuring out the strumming changes in a song, and I prefer to mute the strings for while I strum to figure it out. Maybe it is just me, but I think the chords are the first building block, then comes strumming, and eventually leads. If I had something like this, I would be sitting around the campfire playing all the songs that had 4 chords that the chord buddy creates ;-) Thanks for the chord buddy demo Marty!!!!! It did make me think back when I first began trying to learn the guitar too ;-)
I don't think there has to be any particular order. Just do what works. Adapt, improvise, overcome. Django didn't let having only two fingers hold him back.
Joe Burger I was trying to compare the difference as I watched the video. As a kid I quit playing due to sore fingers. I recently picked it up as an adult and now it find it easy to play and memorize chords. I think it’s similar to the balance bike. Is peddling more important than balance? Did most of us still learn how to ride a bike before balance bikes came on the scene. Sure we did! However, my youngest son had a balance bike and learned how to ride a bike before my oldest. We all learn differently.
Looks like I’m going to buy one. Stopped playing over 30 years ago. Wife bought me a guitar 2 years ago. I tried playing and my fingers full of arthritis. It’s been sitting since. This may get me strumming again. Thanks.
Marty is the OG of RUclips guitar lessons.
Hey Marty. My name is Vicki and I almost severed my left hand. Its still attached but very limited. Then I saw the cord buddy. It would be the only way I could play again. I couldn't take it off. If you see this try to contact me. I would need one of that would cover all I want to play. Thank you for changing my life. I have guitar hope. God bless.
My hands are way too small to play the guitar and have no interest in learning to play “the right way” but I’ve always wanted to play! I would def try this!
Came here because I saw a lot of hate for this tool under another video and I can't understand why so many people are outraged by it.
People said stuff like "I'm a professional guitarist, this is disgusting" or something like "if you can't play the guitar without this thing, just give it up buddy."
Those comments really saddened me, because people with disabilities, nerve damage, muscle problems and what not can really benefit from tools like this one :(
I can't wrap my head around why people would hate on something that doesn't hurt them, but could potentially help others to discover their passion for playing?
Anyways, I'm a fan. Keep going!
I have lymes and my hands have some swelling joint issues when I used to play. Now with my Chord Buddy and one similar for my ukulele I am able to play and ENJOY playing again. Music should bring joy. The guy at Guitar center was an idiot and told me, yes TOLD me to play through the pain. (at 58 with chronic lymes.) Ignore and enjoy the journey!!!
I have multiple learning disabilities and adhd (+deaf musical ear) this tool looks like something that could finally get me into it. Wanted to learn guitar since 14yo and i'm 21 now 😭
Thank you Marty. The Chord Buddy will be mine. Cause I suck at learning guitar. I'm better with a hammer and nail. Only because hitting my finger hurt so much I really made an effort to keep my fingers out of there. Unfortunately that has been my approach to the guitar as well. 😬 Oops. That was back in the 5th grade. Now I'm 56 and still need help focusing on my strumming so I will stop breaking strings. :) Today I will play guitar better than I ever did. And enjoy hearing it happen. That's my motto. Right now.
Your teaching method has caught my attention! Thank you.
One day in heaven I will play the guitar and know what I'm doing with it. And until then I really appreciate you taking your valuable time to make these videos for me to learn how to play all the guitars I have bought through the years that sit around waiting for me to make something more than spider music. :) And your five minutes a day... turn into middle of the night pick up that guitar and strum it thinking 🤔 about what Marty was teaching me in that video that caught my ear and keeps me coming back for more. Right on! Marty

I like the chord buddy! It is helping me get more comfortable with strumming and rhythm!!
I think chordbuddy is able to remove each pad so as you progress you can remove one to start playing the actual string
That Beautiful Taylor and Guitar Buddy. Can’t go wrong
From an accessibility standpoint alone this is so huge!!!
That was a informative post, here are a few more tips on how to play the piano…
Try practicing about an hour every day, or just half an hour if you have a busy schedule.
Do extra practice whenever you have more time. For example, on weekends you could do more than 1 hour, like two or three, or even more. This is very helpful because it pulls you out of the routine of piano playing, and lets you practice more and perfect the pieces you play.
Listen to the song or piano piece you are playing. For example, if you are taking piano lessons and are about to play a new piece, you can try searching on the internet for videos or songs and hear how it sounds. This can be very helpful because it teaches you how a song is played and lets you recognize the 'emotion,' the piece is giving off.
Try not to look at the dynamics in a piece, as rules you cannot break. For example, if the piece starts with an 'mp' (mezzo-piano) it only means 'moderately soft' these dynamics don't have specific volume levels. If you are practicing, you don't need to play accordingly and then have a difficulty hearing yourself, you should only play as it tells you when you are actually trying to play it properly.
(I read about these and more from Denelle Piano Lesson website )
This is a guitar. What are you even saying?
Well I always thought this was ridiculous, but Marty can make even the ridiculous seem sublime.
"It is like a finger pointing away at the night sky... " -Bruce Lee
I really like this,, I have very limited use of my left hand but would love to play the guitar,, now I can play around the house and sing my favorite hymns.. thanks for the demo..❤️🌼
Kinda gimicky for your average player.. but I think this could be great for some who who might be handicapped in some way or perhaps someone very young to get them going.. kind of like training wheels. Great transition tool.. to bad it doesn't do more chords. Like F and A.
If it gets some people started playing guitar, especially kids, I think that's great. I suppose that everyone learns things differently anyway. As others have said, it may be most useful for people with various handicaps who might not be able to play guitar otherwise. Pretty cool.
Just got it for my pops for Christmas.
His middle finger was nearly chopped off years ago..
I doubt he'll even mess with it, but i'm kinda digging it right now.
I like the idea of the chord buddy. I’m 56 years old and starting to learn guitar now is tough. My fingers are constantly fighting with me. I think in this case, it’s a cheat I’m willing to try.
I am 67 yrs old and worked in construction my entire life and arthritis has left me with use only of some of my fingers. My ring finger is twisted and useless. I used to play guitar for family and in church. Do you think this would be a good handicap device that could get me playing again? I miss it a lot.
Try it buddy and make video about your experience
I just ordered one of these
Where are you ordered from ? Please let me know ... !
Please do a lesson on Sgt pepper's lonely hearts club band.
Do more beatles in general
I have arthritis and I leave it on all the time. I had stopped then I discovered this gem .
I kinda look sideways at it, but, my dad quit playing because of his arthritis, and he was a good guitar player. This might relieve the pain in his fretting hand and get him back to playing 3 chords and the truth.
John Hopkins three chords and an Em 😆
I agree with you - I have a mate who used to play until he lost some fingers in a work accident. The only way he can play now is to tune to an open tuning and play using the side of his hand almost like a slide. It means that anytime his wants to play someone else’s guitar (at parties etc) he has to retune it. I reckon it might be easier to keep one of these handy.
Since Kurt Cobain and Axl Rose are here, I figured I I’d show up
George W. Bush and I just read that in GWB’s voice 😂😂
Dude this is real life guitar hero....
I just ordered one today I've been wanting to learn all my life and at 57 it's now or maybe never hope it helps.
I've been wanting my kid to get into guitar this video helped haha she likes the idea of the chord buddy because it won't hurt her fingers. I agree with the other comments if it helps people pick up the guitar than go for it
My mom works at Chord Buddy. She’s the plant manager. She pretty much runs the company.
oh that's awesome Gavin.
Yeah. Even though I personally never used it bc I had already learned guitar when it came out, it’s a good learning tool.
Well, it's good to know that Robert is in good hands atleast.
I want one lol
What awesome idea gives the beginners a glimmer of hope and with that hope seems fun ..takes half the frustration away focus on strumming
Hey Marty! Do you have any other videos like this where you use the Chord Buddy to show people how to play a song? Thanks!
You should demonstrate how you can remove a button at a time and still play the real chord. A lot of people commenting about dependency and not learning real chords would see the benefit to a beginner. For example you can remove a single button, learn that chord for real but still play a song and once you get that down, you can remove another button and learn your second chord. More fun than just practicing a chord repetitively
Don't want to judge the chord buddy without trying it, but I think I'd rather let a child start with a soprano ukulele than such a tool.
my mother has very bad arthritis and this will help her keep making music. 💚
Marty, I want to be just like you when I grow up !! I bought the device that you are demenstrating > It was like buy a New car without the Transmission. When I took it off !! I didn't know squat !! except how to Fret the 6 strings . So I developed the GCA..Guitar Chord Assistant . It reaches you all of it while you practise.
An autoharp guitar. I remember when people played the autoharp to accompany a guitar without being able to actually play an instrument. It made for good times.
Personaly, I think this may do you more harm then good as a beginner. You need to learn those shapes first, and get your hand and fingers used to strings. I mean this didn’t exist when I started playing, and I’m fairly young bloke, still I learned the rhythm and the shapes old fashioned way in couple of months. Now if there was a gadget for dedication that would be another story. Again, this is my personal opinion, cheers!:)
Honestly, I saw this on a news feed on Facebook and noticed you in the video. Just wanted to see your opinion of it. Seems like it would be a great tool for people struggling with strumming.
Great review!! I'm struggling to help my 8yr old. Yousician has been great and this device solves that getting flustered feeling he has.
You're awesome, Marty! Generous teacher, and fun!
I loved playing what I could play on a guitar which wasn’t much, because my hands are too small for the neck and I prefer real Acoustic Guitars. Also, coupled with really bad arthritis most my life made playing anything very difficult. I’m hoping to order one of these very soon to give it my own trail and see if I can pick up my guitar again.
Damn Axl beat me to the comments
It's alright sir.
God you're everywhere Kurt
Nirvana > GnR
Everyone got their own taste, but Kurt still is not a guitar legend
I thought you were dead.
Nice! I will give it to a person who has physical hand problems.
If Marty Schwartz endorses this, I'm all in 🙌🏻
I think anything that can help people old or young is a good thing, yes you could say it is cheating but for a beginer to get a sound out of a guitar will give them the drive to carry on, hopefully to remove the device at some point.
Think it sounds great. THE MORE WE CAN MUSIC EASIER THE BETTER!
I just saw this thing hanging up in Guitar Center today and was wondering exactly what it was. I guess it does a great job at its intended purpose, I just don't know how good it will be in the overall scheme of things. Working strumming could just as easily be done by muting the strings and working on the patterns. I do like J Bolo's comment about possibly it being used for people with disabilities to allow them to enjoy music. Time will tell how well it does.
