What is claimed is:
1. A device that will aid the beginning guitar student in learning the various chords needed to play the guitar successfully.
2. A devise of claim 1 with two distinct functions including:
a) the user’s ability to learn where the fingers go on the fretboard in order to play the various chords
b) the user’s ability to test themselves to see if they are placing the fingers correctly on the fretboard for each respective chord.
3. The devise of claim 1 will be the exact shape of the first four sections of a regular fretboard.
4. The devise of claim 1 will include a space at the bottom (2 inch approximate) which will contain the various switches to operate the unit.
5. The components of claim 4 comprises:
An onoff switch to power the unit
A digital screen to display the current chord in operation
Two (2) arrow buttons on either side of the power switch by which the user can advance or backup to a particular chord
A testlearn button which will put the device in the respective mode of operation
A small green light that will illuminate when the proper task is performed.
6. The devise of claim 1 will be configured to the exact specifications of a guitar fretboard.
7. The components of claim 6 comprises:
An arrangement of 6 faux guitar strings
Four (4) sections of fretboard
A slide out handle at the bottom, to enable the user to hold the devise with two hands.
8. The functionality of claim 4 in the learning mode whereby the digital screen will light up with the chord name and the various finger points for that respective chord illuminate on the fretboard.
9. The effect of claim 8 is for the user to place the appropriate fingers on the appropriate positions on the fretboard to play the respective chord. Once the fingers are placed correctly, the green light will come on to indicate that it was done successfully.
10. The functionality of claim 4 in the test mode whereby the digital screen will light up with the chord name only.
11. The effect of claim 10 is for the user to test their knowledge of the chords by placing their fingers on the fretboard associated to the chord name that appears. If the fingers are placed properly, the green light will illuminate.
The claims below are in addition to those above.
