ChordBuddy Guitar Learning System

“It’s like training wheels for your guitar!” — Lucas, who almost quit after two days

ChordBuddy clips onto your guitar’s neck so you can play real songs on your very first day — starting with G, C, D, and Em. Follow the step-by-step video lessons taught by Travis Perry, the music teacher who invented ChordBuddy, and remove the color-coded tabs one at a time as you learn each chord shape. Follow the two-month lesson plan, removing the tabs as you learn. Go at your own pace—it’s not a race.

I taught Robert Herjavec to play “Amazing Grace” live on national TV. If I can teach him, I can teach you.
