While I know that very few Jimis will appear regardless of the tools at their disposal. ItвЂ™s a teaching tool and a method for training guitarists. For example, would Clapton have become great if he had a вЂњcrutchвЂќ like the Fretlight? Would Jimi have been a better guitarist if he didnвЂ™t have to sit by his radio and listen obsessively to every note of every song he ever loved? I donвЂ™t know. In some ways I can see what concerns critics would have. It works on Macs and PCs, and there is a separate break-out box/foot-pedal that lets you pause your playing or perform other simple actions.

The guitar uses a few pieces of software, including a free MIDI player as well as Guitar Pro 6, a piece of training software already popular with guitarists. Fretlight, in fact, makes their guitars overseas in the same factory as another major player in the guitar industry, so youвЂ™re not too far off from industry standard. My buddy, Rick, shown above playing the Fretlight with great gusto, found the strings a bit tight on the out-of-the-box model but Marc of IntoMobile, an accomplished guitarist, found the entire kit to be well-made and on par with a mid- to entry-level Strat. The guitar has three pickups, two single and one humbucker. In terms of playability I found the guitar itself to quite nice with excellent action and a great sound. Why not make it easy for them? Would Slash be caught dead with this around his neck? Now, probably not but as a young riffster trying to learn DвЂ™yer Maker? Maybe.

Some dudes just want to know how to play a cool riff. In short, the only difference between a вЂњregularвЂќ guitar and this one is the lighting, and I think the lighting makes a huge difference. This, according to Fretlight, is in the works and is one of the most interesting parts of the system. A teacher in a central location could teach multiple students at once, running them through chords, riffs, and scales by flashing the LEDs on the neck. Generally, the $429 Fretlight is a one-trick pony although the guitar is obviously quite exciting as a teaching tool and вЂ“ more important вЂ“ a long distance training system.

The Fretlight will literally show you how to play all of your favorite songs. You can slow things down or speed them up and loop parts of the song over and over to practice certain riffs. You connect these guitars to a computer, run a MIDI player, and then follow along with the lights as the music plays. Fretlight makes guitars with LEDs embedded in the neck. However, I think Fretlight may have given me a new lease on life.
