ChordBuddy does for aspiring guitarists what training wheels do for beginner cyclists. That’s how owner Travis Perry describes his Shark Tank-winning invention.

“Training wheels allow you to ride a bike without knowing how to ride a bike. As you gain your balance and confidence, you start moving the training wheels up until they’re not on there anymore. It’s the same with ChordBuddy.”

The ChordBuddy device attaches to the neck of a guitar and allows users to play a full chord by pressing a single button. “And then slowly, as you learn your rhythm patterns, you literally pull the tabs out and start making those chords with your own fingers," Perry says.
