Hey, what's up [N] you guys?
Marty Schwartz here with Marty Music.
Thank you again for hanging out and supporting Marty Music.
I appreciate it you guys.
It's another Gear Thursday and I'm going to talk about this interesting little device called the Chord Buddy.
Now, this may be controversial because some of you may not believe in learning this way, but I'd love to hear your honest opinions on it.
When I first saw this on Shark Tank, actually, I saw it as what I thought was a really good idea, and I'm not getting paid for this.
_ _ And I met the creator at the NAMM show recently, his name's Travis, and he talked about the story of teaching his, I think, little daughter how to play.
And her fingers weren't strong enough, so he created a little handmade thing with popsicle sticks and little pads underneath to help her start learning chords
so she could actually focus on her rhythm and then eventually take this off to then build up the strength.
So, like Travis was saying, it's kind of like a training wheel.
So, it has pads underneath, it goes on the neck, we're going to use it and check it out.
And then you've just got the main chords.
You've got a G, a C, a D, and an E minor.
And each one of these little pads slides off, so you can actually eventually slide each one off and play for real.
Now, the other thing is, you know, rhythm is so important, and when you're a beginner, sometimes you get bogged down with trying to remember the shapes,
and you're doing the right hand, the left hand, this is really a way to get you strumming and playing recognizable things right away to get your rhythm going.
It's not intended to be on the guitar at all times.
It's a transitional tool.
Alright, so it's got these little grooves, and I think I can just slip it on the [Ab] neck here.

_ _ Alright, so it just tightens on, slides on the neck real easily, and just line the pads up with the string.
It's pretty easy.
So now that it's on, you've got four basic chords, and it's a G chord is the blue button, and you know, there's pads underneath.
The red is the D, the green is the C, and the yellow is the E minor.
_ _ _ [C] C, _
_ _ [D] D, _ [G] G. _
So like, something like knocking on heaven's door, G, D, and C, now you can focus on strumming, and these are just one button each. _ _

_ The yellow is E minor, the red is D, the green is C.
