Guitar Attachment, Eliminates Finger Pain, 110 Chords Available, Fits MOST Full Sized Acoustic Guitar, L/H OK, Not A Beginner Tool, For People Whose Fingers Hurt From Guitar Strings

My goal was just to be able to play a few chords to accompany some campfire singing, or my church's children's choir: I'm not trying to become the next Hendrix. That said, I was having a lot of trouble even playing "simple" chords because I have very soft, wide fingers and I just couldn't get them to not mute the neighboring strings. This device did the trick. Within minutes of rubber-banding it on and adjusting the height screws (an important step), I was making beautiful chords. With one week's practice I was able to easily accompany a group of singing children with the four or five chords that I had learned. (And those sweet kids even said I was the best guitar player they had ever heard--lol! best possible beginning audience, am I right?!) As an learning-aid I put colored-coded stickers right on the button-surfaces that I needed for my chords. I haven't had any trouble with the ez-fret coming off or damaging the guitar, although it does slide and sometimes needs scooted back to position, and I did have to adjust the screws a couple of times. Some people complained that it made chords harder to reach, but I haven't had any problems, and I have the smallest hands of any adult woman I have ever met, though I do play the piano and cello, so I've had some practice stretching my reach. I know, short hands, thick fingers--and I'm not even overweight--how does that happen? Anyway, I highly recommend this for casual guitar playing. If you want to become the next Hendrix, you'd probably better learn to do it the normal way, though.

The item feels like it would break easy, it is held on by rubber bands that allow it to move laterally on the neck. The buttons do not line up properly with all of the strings and get stuck. I tried this on an older sears and Roebuck acoustic guitar as well as on a BC Rich Warlock kvv signature series electric guitar. The acoustic has a wider neck so only half the buttons lined up with strings. The other buttons would line up but due to it being held by rubber bands in place the device would slide and the buttons frequently got stuck. When on the bc rich warlock, the buttons lined up but the adjustment screws that adjust the device height from the neck would touch the strings causing them to distort and buzz. Not sure what guitar this was meant for but it is by no means universal and sturdy. I returned it within 20 minutes of receiving it from Amazon shopping. Don't waste your time on this product.

I ordered this due to physical limitations from injuries in hopes it would enable me to start playing again but couldn't use it. I found it to be very awkward and even more difficult to play with than without. I think you'll need long fingers to use this or maybe learn to play with the guitar lying in your lap.. I guess I'll just keep plucking away the old fashioned way in hopes I can eventually get these old damaged fingers working again ! I dont believe this is a bad idea but I believe it could be improved upon.

Fit on my 3/4 scale Mitchell electric guitar. Had to adjust it just right , but works like a charm. I am a drummer, so not a musician , but having owned multiple guitars and giving up in frustration , I can say that this little gadget is helping me. Wish I had it years ago. I am right handed , but play guitar and drums left handed and sing, so not a rookie. I can also see where this would help those with missing fingers and / or disabilities such as carpal tunnel and such. Even came with instructions and extra rubber bands. Bottom line , yes , I would buy it again. After all it's only $12.95 with free shipping

I’m a wanna-be guitar player who is really a pianist of 30 some years. I picked this up because I’ve been having difficulty contorting my fingers into positions unheard of at the piano or organ. I first looked at the more famous “Buddy” contraption because, hey, it was on TV, but I found it limiting in the chords available. I gravitated toward this because it allows for all the notes to be played, just with some assistance from buttons. The directions are a little rough to follow, but just looking at the thing it was quite easy to determine how it should be attached. Also, double wrapping the rubber bands holds it quite securely with no slipping. It may be made of plastic, but it feels snug and secure. I’d say this system is best suited to someone who would like to practice traditional guitar fingering and positions but would like to hold off on finger and wrist pain while learning. Also, if you happen to know a little music theory to begin with, just looking at the supplied chart will have you playing your instrument right away. Good luck!

I bought two of these. One for my son's 3/4 size guitar, and one for my full size. The product description says one size fits all. Not true. It fits ok on the 3/4 size. But you have to be really careful about placement and not leaning your hand on it too much (as new guitar players will tend to do). Credit should be given to the design, that as long as you don't bump it or push on it at all, it will probably be ok. But new guitar player simply will not have that kind of hand control. It does NOT fit on the full size guitar. Two of the feet are right next to the A and B strings (2nd and 5th). They touch both strings at the same time. no movement or adjustment will get them off. This is a full sized acoustic guitar. Electric guitars have a little bit thinner neck which is similar to eh 3/4 size classical string spacing. Further, it doesn't let you do the fingerings for the G chord very easily. The positioning of the buttons is not where you'd normally place your fingers. You'd have to do an alternate fingering. And to do a bar with your index (for F chord) is almost impossible. If you're playing a classical guitar piece where each note is played individually, then this might make more sense. But this is not for a typical piece where typical chords are used.

Cheap and wobbly, basically unusable.

Works great! My hands are in bad shape so I can't even get around the neck of the guitar. I play on my lap. This really helps and gives my fingers much bigger targets! I can see where the spacing COULD be a problem for a conventional player with smaller hands as it you have to spread your fingers more. For me it's working perfectly. Engages the strings well, is stable, no string buzzing.
