The Fretlight Guitar

Posted on March 24, 2005 Under Music

The Fretlight guitar is somewhat of a revolutionary way to learn to play the guitar–although I haven’t gotten a chance with one I think the idea is pretty good. It’s the world’s first computer-powered electric teaching guitar, and is completely interactive. It works through a series of LED lights inlaid behind each string on every fret, connected via USB to your computer to learn chords, popular songs, using some specialized MIDI software.
