    Good for someone who has never picked up a guitar.

    The product is good if you have never played anything. The problem is that it only helps with the fingerings for the key of G.

    while my grand-daughter is totally happy with being able to learn, it is disappointing to me the lack of keys you can learn in.

    Great for getting you jump started into guitar. Designed to move you into real playing.

    Wanted it to work so badly...

    I first saw this product on Shark Tank and thought it was a brilliant idea. As an aspiring guitar player who has given up many times because my fingers can't seem to play chords quickly and accurately with ease, I decided to invest in it. Unfortunately, the Chord Buddy did not work as well as I expected. After I installed it (and checked to make sure it was correct many times), the colored buttons did not play the strings very well (quite a few of the rubber "booties" did not press hard enough on the strings to be played correctly, resulting in a poorly-sounding strum). Because I wanted so badly for it to work, I even emailed the Chord Buddy producers who sent me what were supposed to be different-sized rubber booties to press the strings better. These, however, did not help at all, much to my dismay. All in all, I think this was a brilliant idea. However, upon execution, the product fell flat of expectations. Perhaps CB will get similar reviews and redesign the product, at which point I would be more than happy to give it another shot. But until then, I must return my Chord Buddy and go back to painfully trying to get my fingers to play guitar!

    Got this for our daughter-in-law and she loves it. She started to learn to play the guitar and has said this really helps.

    From a beginners perspective. This is a great tool. Easy to attach (if you pay attention to their instructions). Never played a day in my life. 30 minutes later strumming away and singing tunes with my kids. I know I have a long way to go but it definitely helps beginners.

    There is a reason it's not carried in the store

    I have a Fender and it won't stay on . I have to keep typing irrelevant info as you must have 50 characters for review to qualify. Cheap plastic clip , totally unimpressed.

    I wish I would have read that it can only be used on a certain size guitar; we just needed to find one that fit.
