So what is the Fretlight concept?

The Fretlight Concept is simple. We believe you need to see the information where you need to play it – right under your fingers on the guitar fretboard.

Having the information right under your fingers allows you to play it right the first time. Fretlight eliminates the guesswork and wasted time of figuring out where to put your fingers. And because you’re playing it right the first time that means you’re also hearing it right the first time. Your confidence and excitement will soar knowing that you can do this! The Fretlight Guitar is simply the best tool available for both advanced and beginner players to realize their guitar playing dreams.

You can light up tablature, video lessons and riffs, chords and scales, and much more. It doesn’t matter what level you are, the Fretlight can help expand your playing instantly. Beginners learn 10x faster, intermediate players light-up their favorite tab songs, advanced players learn to easily solo using several different scale modes and more.

Remember, you are the guitar player playing a real guitar – this not a game or toy – you still have to put your fingers on the strings and play but with Fretlight you can do it! The beauty of Fretlight is that you get to learn and play at your own pace – no one is saying memorize first, then attempt to play. Our theory is play first, put your fingers on the instrument, get excited, have fun and then the memorization and the willingness to actually delve into some music theory will come naturally when you want it to. We get you playing guitar in 10 minutes! And if you never want to go any farther than playing “Smoke on the Water” that’s fine too.

Traditional Learning is boring and frustrating

Learning guitar has been the same for decades. You are forced to tediously look back and forth from chord books, scale charts or tablature and try to interpret the diagrams on the paper to the neck of the guitar. Slow, painful, tedious, boring, unsatisfying, unproductive, dreary, tiresome, monotonous….well, you get it.

We call this the “head bob” method because your head moves back and forth from book to chart to book to chart to book to chart and so on. This method is terribly inefficient and requires a lot of time and patience to ultimately get any reward.

You also end up spending money on chord and scale books that you never use because the whole process is so frustrating. By the way, 80% of all beginners quit because it’s NOT ANY FUN!

Don’t believe us? Try it yourself on our “Guitar Industry Calculator” below.

Learning guitar by going back and forth from books is a lot like using a calculator with blank buttons and a page of numbers and symbols to the side. In order to really feel the frustration of this methodology, try our little “Guitar Industry Calculator” below. (If those "F” and “G” guitar companies were in charge of making calculators this is what you’d get!)

We challenge you to quickly do the following math problem: (456.3 + 1,785.9 – 62.1) * 45.8 = ???

So what can Fretlight do for you?

Beginners and parents– You’ve never touched a guitar before and you’re excited to learn—but you’re intimidated by the slow and frustrating method of going back and forth from books and charts. 80% of first-time players quit because this method is painful and unrewarding.

SOLUTION: The Fretlight will light up your first chords and songs right under your fingers so you can play instantly. You’ll get positive feedback right away and want to keep going.

Beginners who tried a long time ago but quit – You tried to play years ago but found it hard and frustrating. You want to try again and ache for a quicker and easier way to learn.

SOLUTION: The Fretlight lets you play right away without all the hassle. Watch and play that classic riff right on the Fretlight fretboard instantly. You can even slow it down to learn at your own pace. Isn’t it time you started enjoying the guitar?

Intermediate player but only play on the weekends – So you’ve played for quite a few years, but life’s gotten busy and your free time has gone out the window. With the few minutes you do have on weekends, you’re likely playing the same stuff over and over. How do you break out and play something new?

SOLUTION: The Fretlight lets you play your favorite song or riff without the grind of getting into music theory or going to a lesson. Watch it light up, slow it down, loop the part you want to master and in just a few minutes, you’ve recaptured the excitement that got you playing in the first place.

Intermediate player – You play guitar regularly but life has gotten in the way. You don’t have the time you once had to devote to learning something new. How do you take your playing to the next level without eating into your busy schedule?

SOLUTION: The Fretlight is a tool that can take your soloing to new heights. You can audition different scales over various progressions and truly “try out” a scale before you commit to any memorization. You can learn to solo using pieces or several different scales over different style progressions. It’s time to get out of the Minor Pentatonic rut!

Advanced gigging player – You’re a good player but your day job and family commitments leave you little personal time to learn all the new tunes for your band.

SOLUTION: The Fretlight can make learning new songs a snap. Simply download the tab you need from the Internet, load it into the Guitar Pro 6 Fretlight Ready software and click play. You can loop any part, slow it down, and even use a funky new scale to create a blistering solo in your own style. It’s all done in minutes—not hours.

Guitar teachers – Your new students are eager but impatient. They simply want to learn songs and riffs and be rock stars. Their parents really don’t understand guitar but want their kid to “properly” learn the instrument. How do you satisfy the “play now” mentality with parents’ expectations?

SOLUTION: The Fretlight is a powerful weapon that makes your job a no-brainer. You can light up chords, scales or even a riff during a lesson so that the student doesn’t have to guess where to put their fingers - they get it right the first time. This also gives you more time to focus on other teaching elements such as playing position, stylistic elements and more. And if your student has a Fretlight at home, they can practice that same exercise or riff and see exactly what they need to play. Their parents see and hear them playing better and they still get to “rock out” right away! Learn to play guitar today.
