Piece of garbage, recommend just learning guitar the old fashioned way.

We bought it for our daughter for Christmas as her brother had gifted her with a beautiful acoustic guitar and was teaching her tomplay when he moved.

We tried an open tuning so she could play her four chords just as barr chords, but she still didn't really have the strength and when I left from my visit it seemed like the guitar was going to gather dust in the corner, just another "good intention."But, still trying to find a way to help my mom enjoy something she loves, when I got

The chord buddy didn't fit his good guitar and that was discouraging.

Very happy with chord buddy, never played guitar before, allows me to play

They took a great idea and in order to save a few pennies in manufacturing wound up with a flimsy poorly constructed useless product.

Guitar buddy is great idea but the manufacturing was done poorly and renders it pretty useless.

Seemed like a nice idea but doesn't seem to work properly

Good idea, but after attaching it to her guitar, the string sound quality went muffled.

The idea is awesome but the plastic is cheap with poor tolerances

Good way to get he started, will slowly remove it once he builds confidence.

Great way to learn how to play video gives awesome step by step instructions of how to play

I guess the factory made so many of them, that they will continue to try and sell them off, so they don't lose money

PLEASE, do NOT waste your money on this flimsy, totally piece of junk.

I loved the chord buddy because it helped my mom 100% to be able to play the gutair in just 1 week

The "Chord Buddy" looks like a great concept for developing a sense of accomplishment for a beginning student - but the product is difficult to install all of the guitars that I have.

Chord buddy is great but the clip on tuner was not shipped with product

Works like advertised, lightening fast shipping!

nice product fast shipping A++++++

The concept is great but it doesn't fit the wide neck of a folk guitar at all

The actual Cord Buddy, or should I say Cord FLUBBY, Wow, great concept but VERY VERY POORLY executed; needs a ground up re-design.

Really is a neat system, but will not fit on a wide neck classical guitar.

The system isn't as easy to use as they make it out to be, had to go to our local guitar store and ask for assistance to get it set up correctly for my son

It would seem that the system should easily have a capability of accepting wider necks - and the plastic arms that control the string pads should be more robust.

But I think the developer did a great job with the CD, the booklets, the tuner, etc.

The assembly is fine, meaning the person who installed all the rubber pieces did a good job, it just the design is horrible.

Tuner worked very well but the chord buddy attachment is made of cheap plastic and wouldn't fit right on the guitar.

but the tuner is a dud--no use messing with it.

great learning tool wish they could spend more time teaching chords on DVD

Generally, I dislike shortcuts but, in this day and age, this is a great tool that helps shorten the learning curve.

I teach music and would not recommend this as a good learning tool.

Having hard time gettin tuner or the $21 difference owed.

Also, the one that measures the chord note, has a hard time adjusting Chord A and D.

I had a hard time attaching it to my guitar and getting the pieces to fall in line with the strings.

every thing works will i played a song the first time i pick it up

and she used to have a grand time playing and singing with family.

Cheap plastic, will not stay in place which causes string buzz

Overall - the product has a "cheap" plastic feel to it - probably trying to deliver a low-cost product to a wider audience.

The idea is awesome but the plastic is cheap with poor tolerances

.I think the plastic had twisted some or bent and failed to hold those strings
