It’s only to star placing the fingers in the diapason, it is not good to create sound at the request note.

6 Fret Portable Guitar Chord Practice Tool for Beginner pull-outGuitar fingering exercises-------------------------------------Perhaps this tool could be useful, but it has some deficits that make it frustrating.The strings lie almost flat on the plastic neck, so evoking sound from them is hard.Tuning the “neck” seems impossible – the strings are not loud enough to use a tuner to find the correct pitch.Extra strings, a tuning wrench (simply tightens or loosens the strings, nothing else), and several picks (probably the most useful item included ) complete the package.Yes, a beginner could practice fingering chords, but they cannot get a tuned sound.is it worth messing with random twangs? The right way to acquire skill on an instrument comes from being in tune and slowly getting used to the true sound of notes, chords, and melodies.Want a beginner to learn on their own, regardless of age ? Buy a used guitar at a pawn shop or music store or from a private party. Then the cool stuff might begin.

I like this little thing, but I think the listing may have oversold it. It is really great for having a pocket sized practice tool for going through open-chords, or scales, or just finger exercises and callus building. Important note, there is nowhere to "strum" and even if you try, there is basically on sound, and the sound there is, is not in any way represetative of guitar notes. That's fine. It's only a few inches long, with the "bridge" being where a 6th fret should be.This is where I think the listing may have oversold it, because it comes with 2 guitar picks. Nice to have for the guitar you are probably practicing for. It also has an allen key for "tuning". It does indeed allow you to tighten the string tention, but it is a stretch to call doing so on this tool "tuning". Still, love this for what it is, but don't get the wrong idea of what this is good for. It isn't a magic tiny guitar that you are going to tune, and then strum out some chords with the included picks to impress your friends. Nope. It's just a really handy pocket sized tool to build your skills.Last point. It includes extra strings. This is super generous, because I can't even imagine how you'd break a string using this tool. Nice to have I guess, but if you are breaking strings by just fingering chords, please never shake my hand.

Not sure why some reviewers are treating this like a full-blown instrument or a tool for teaching complete beginners to play guitar when it’s not described as either. It’s a finger trainer, a tool that lets you practice chord fingerings when it doesn’t make sense to be playing a real guitar, like in a waiting room, on the bus, at school or work, etc. As far as that goes, it’s OK but not amazing. I like it because it’s inexpensive and I can fiddle with different chord fingerings and chord changes, memorize new chords, and work on maintaining calluses in any amount of space or environment. It’s cool to be able to practice guitar skills without bothering other people with a bunch of noise or carrying an instrument everywhere.Pros: Lightweight. The cover slides on and off smoothly. Neck width and string spacing are pretty close to the spacing on one of my actual guitars. Fits in a backpack or tote bag. Usable in small spaces where a guitar would be awkward to play, like the backseat of a small car. Safe for environments that might damage a guitar.Cons: The storage bag is a tight fit, with no room for even the tuning wrench, so I guess it’s just meant to keep the finger trainer from getting scratched or opening accidentally. The fret spacing isn’t like a real guitar’s (the frets are all the same distance apart, but on a real guitar they get progressively closer together). No instructions on how to use it or how to change strings, etc.It does come with guitar picks that I’m not sure are actually intended to be used with it. Cheap Chinese stuff often comes with random only semi-related bonus items, and after all, guitar picks are easy to lose, so most players could probably use some spares. Also not sure the “tuning wrench” should be called that. It sets up an inaccurate expectation that this thing should be tuned like a guitar, when really the sound is pretty irrelevant, and the “tuning wrench” might just be for loosening and tightening the strings.
