    A Creative and Intuitive Way to Learn Guitar
  

*by E***N on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 1, 2016*

I've been playing guitar for 28 years or so.  I started playing in junior high and majored on the instrument in college.  As an adult real-life got in the way and I set my days of serious play aside for far to long.  I've reached a point where I want to get the old chops back and, of course, develop new ones.  The trouble?  That whole real-life thing...job, kids...responsibilities!!  Going about getting my chops back the old fashioned way of hour after hour of uninterrupted practice simply isn't possible.  I needed a different way...and in walked the Fretlight.  Playing music isn't simply about reading notes...it's about patterns...the patterns that come about as the idioms of different genres.  The Fretlight let's me pull up some music, sit back and watch the patterns unfold.  What a great jumping off point!The utility of the instrument and companion software isn't limited to "educated" former players like me.  I can only imagine how far I would have taken my abilities as a player if this had been available to me as a kid.  No more looking from a book to the neck several times to try to get finger positions just right.  No more wearing cassettes out trying to break down a single passage by ear.Several models of the Fretlight exist.  I chose the least expensive version of the the 500 series because I simply needed it as a tool to enhance my practice time.  That said it's a fine playing guitar that sounds pretty good despite having a single pick-up.  I wouldn't gig with it, but only because I don't have to since I have my favorite gigging guitars.I only have two complaints about the guitar, neither of which are significant enough to warrant me knocking down the rating given it's intended usage.  First, the built-in tuner is useless. Second, the bottom cutaway isn't deep enough to comfortably hit the higher frets.In summary, whether for someone starting out or a professional wanting to see the neck in a new and intriguing way, I suggest getting one to add to your guitar collection.

    Great Idea Poorly Exicuted
  

*by D***L on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 17, 2015*

This is a very cheap Chinese made guitar. I know that Fretlight makes a point out of saying "All guitars need adjustment" but this one needs more than a few turns on the truss rod.Frankly if I had paid the usual price of $330 I would have given it one star but since I only paid $170 I will give it two. The reality is this guitar is so out of adjustment I honestly do not think an average buyer would know where to begin, it needs a full set up by a guitar tech and that will cost you about $40 or $50 or more. This will require truss rod adjustments as well as bridge adjustments for both height and intonation.It might even require fret dressing in the end.Selling guitars this badly set up is kind of counter to the whole idea that these guitars are aimed at beginners trying to learn. The action is so high they would quickly give up because it's almost impossible to play well.The concept is great but if the guitar has such poor play-ability out of the box you will still have the same 80% of new users give up.
