EZ Slide Chord

According to the promotional video, the invention was to help a guitarist who lost his finger to continue playing the guitar.  This device frets a movable bar chord shape, and the guitarist would just have to move the device up and down the neck to play various chords, and shift it laterally to get the minor chords.  Check out the promotional video.




I would recommend this device to anyone who has physical impairments which would prevent him from learning the guitar.  You could strum along to plenty of songs with this device, and would be a good tool to help you enjoy music.


But if you can learn the guitar the good old fashion way; hard work, callouses, cramps and lots of practice, do yourself a favor and give this device a miss.
