And I quote:
"In the past, many people gave up trying to learn the guitar because it often took at least 6 months, several expensive lessons, repetitive practice, and sore fingers, with little to show for their efforts. Now anybody, even young children, regardless of age, time, talent, or temperament (YES, EVEN YOU!), can play their favorite songs immediately."

| My 1621-4 didn't come with one of those push button rigs back in 74 and my fingers got sore a few times - is there anyone I can sue? |

Merry Christmas all!!! |

Still, I guess it's o.k., as long as you want all your music to sound the same after awhile--I wonder what the device for chords 5-8 looks like....(shuddering.)

To become REALLY good you're probably talking a whole year! You got it. If you buy one guitar a month, after a year you'd have like, I don't know, 10 or so. Then you're a player. |

Location: Hot Springs, S.D. | WooHoo! I recognize that! I actually had a student (for about five minutes) who came to me for lessons saying he had arthritis and had to use that thing. This is a guy who owns a local restaurant too. Not only did he have that thing stuck on his guitar, but the guitar was FILTHY, with food and beverage spills on it, and it even had a DEAD FLY stuck to the peghead! I was so grossed out because I had actually eaten in his reataurant once. :( |

The guy in the demo video (if it can actually be called that) might just be Three Chord Monty! |
