From sub-zero music experience to playing guitar. Incredible product!!
The Chord Buddy is amazing. It actually works and is made with quality in USA. I have sub-zero musical experience and now I am able to actually play the guitar. The guy on the video has an awesome teaching style and techniques. As he suggests, I review the lesson plans on the DVD many times. Just as he says the the musical stuff--notes, chords, sequence, ect... really begin to make sense the more you watch. He has broken down the learning process in 2 steps. First you learn 4 different strumming techniques (from easy to difficult) and play songs with four chords using the Chord Buddy. This is kind of the wax on wax off technique used in the Karate kid movie. The strumming and developing the muscle memory in your fingers and get them used to working independently. I am slow, but within the second day I was playing the first strum pattern and 4 Chords using the Chord Buddy and it actually sounded good. After you have muscle memory and don't have to worry about strumming, you begin to remove 1 of the 4 Chord Buddy buttons at a time and play the Chords yourself. This the the best way to learn guitar. Instead of being frustrated, after I play, I usually say to myself I cannot believe I am playing that.

ChordBuddy
I am a intermediate player.I know these chords.I am getting older and my hands getting slower.So I bought this to use to save a little on my tired hands. I can play many many songs with just these few simple chords and that is why I purchased it and I was hoping my child would see the ease and give it a try, I hope they do. this is a good learning tool for novice players that allow them to play songs in just a few moments, something very few systems do.Many get fustrated tring to play, this item takes away allot of that fustration in learning hand positions and allows them to play a song immediately. Great product for the novice, and the intermediate player and some older players with age may find this simple solution of tired hands easy to compensate for that problem and still play.( one thing I must mention, do not let this be a crutch for learning the correct chords and finger positions.It is so easy it will distract that fact from your learning and make it easy to push one button instead of learning the fingering and you will rely on it to much,Please learn from it and don't rely on it all the time) Still a great product and will indeed help you to learn the finger positions one chord at a time.

ChordBuddy and learning system
ChordBuddy Not good.1] Fitting is not easy 2] Moves during play 3] Too difficult to get the "fingers " to depress evenly for the chosen chord. 4] Too flimsy. 5 ] It will not fit the wider neck=only one size Learning system,books and practice and marketing = very good. Maybe exciting ! You will question my judgement = what do I know about chordmaking device?! Good question! But== As mentioned in a previous reply. I have been playing on a Mechanical chord maker for over a year. I have designed ,made and patented a device . I would like to offer this to your organization for development. My patent was registered before your "patent pending " I do believe . A mutually convenient plan should be workable as I could sell them here. Please pass this on as I am unable to contact the relevant department at your head office .Or please contact me by return email With Thanks Your chordaly Glen Hudson Written on a cloud The review of your ChordBuddy was for you, [Amazon] Intention being for Amazon this link to view. Unfamiliar with this new technology's scope, This message now dangling from clouds on a rope Music now a language for the world to use, Forever this tongue our lives to amuse. This new invention I offer to the world It aids playing as mapped and unfurled. I forward this link in poem clear and loud, For the world to read written on a cloud. In music we soon come to learn who we are. Worry not about repercussions buy a guitar!

As seen on Shark Tank
This is a very nice item..I saw it on Shark Tank, I have small hands and always had issues in playing chords. This gadget is nice and the books included are nice. It SURE would be nice if they could add a chord or two, but for what it is, it works very well, once seated properly. The books are nice, BUT, for me, NOT a country music enthusiast, the chord book is VERY limited In songs that I would play....only about three, actually. BUT, it's good for practicing. I did email them about, 1. Adding more chords and 2. printing a book with classic/contemporary rock songs. They responding very quickly telling me that both were in the thinking/working process. I would recommend this item for beginners, or for people who have limited movement in their fingers, or small hands, like me. It's fun. No secrets here, it works as described.

Sorry for my earlier review of bad rating , wish I could take back what I wrote, you get what you put into chordbuddy. I contacted them directly and they were more then happy to help me out. I am having fun now. The chordbuddy manufacturer was great, I contacted them directly of my problem and they went out of their way get me going , what a great group of people working there...If you want to learn to play the guitar practice daily and don't get frustrated , I am surprising myself of what I can do after a few weeks ..no superstar just playing to have fun.... Many years ago I tried to play but gave up on the idea and eventually giving the guitar away ....thanks for shark tank and Perry I am having fun, part of my bucket list I guess you can say.. There is more information on YouTube with some great ideas of using chordbuddy Keep picking the strings and listen to the music you create Thanks to the Perry and his staff
