Fret ZealotLED Bass Guitar Fretboard Lights Learning Accessory - EASIEST and BEST Method to Learn To Play Bass Guitar for All Levels, Fits All FULL SIZE Bass Guitars, IOS & Android App included

Hello to all you review readers!!I have to say that when I first heard of Fret Zealot I was somewhat sceptical. I thought it would just be a gimmick, but I bought it anyway so I can put it through my own tests. I bought it in January and it sat under my bed for a long time. I installed it on to my guitar and surprised the hell out of me!!! It really is put together very well. The APP has lots of good features and works really well. The lessons in the APP are amazing and what I love is the lessons and the lights are in sync with each other!!! That's awesome!! The instructor strums a D major note, the lights show a D major chord and switches when the instructor changes notes. Scales are also lit up in any fret you want. Wow is all I can say. It's a great APP.Con/Pro: I did have an issue with the bluetooth connection, it started acting up and the lights didn't work very well, it was a mess and it kept crashing(the App) I got in touch with customer service, and right away they were ready to help me out with trouble shooting or replacing the product. I'm impressed, Sam didn't give up and continued to contact me with information on how, and what may be happening to my Fret Zealot. I had a glitch and the glitch got fixed. It really works. Now I hope they will put in more content into the APP for more practice and lessons. I give them 5 extra stars!! I recommend this to beginners and intermediate players.I really like this thing. I know I will get real good use from this, especially when playing lead and riffs. Go and get one I think you will like it too.

I've never been so excited for a product to let me down so hard. I got everything installed onto my T-bird, no problem. Everything was working for the first hour or so as I mainly played with the app and settings. As a guy who works in electronics, I was aware that the connection that transitions from your standard audio cable to the tape was going to be a bit fragile. I carefully place my guitar in its floor stand for the night, and look forward to rocking tomorrow. Unfortunately, the fret lights now toggle themselves on and off intermittently, though placing a finger gently on that fragile connection keeps them on. I send a detailed email to support, letting them know the issue, and got a response that was basically, "Have you charged the device?" Due to how weak this connection is, I'm sure many others will have had this issue, so I wasn't very satisfied with that response. No problem, I can return it. The CEO makes the claim in one of his videos that this will not damage your guitar or leave any residue behind. I can tell you, it absolutely will leave behind a residue that takes hours and hours of buffing to remove, and yet still feels sticky. After only being on the guitar for about 48 hours, the frets are discolored, even after several hours of cleaning. Hopefully, they will look better after a few more cleanings.

Pros- The app is powerful, sleek, and easy to navigate. It definitely improves the guitar learning process- Syncing the LEDs to instructional videos is a neat idea which makes it a lot easier to follow the instructor- The "AI mode" is an innovative way to make sure you're playing the right notes and was pretty accurate (in some cases I had to move the phone a little closer to the guitar)- The app has other cool features that make use of the microphone in the phone, such as a digital guitar tunerCons- The hardware is a little clunky and could be smaller/streamlined. Taping the chord to the guitar helps but doesn't look great.- The $200 seems a little steep considering that you have to provide your own guitar. Perhaps the price will go down in the future.- You can't move the LEDs between guitars. If you buy a new guitar, you'll have to buy a new set of LEDs.- In some songs (probably a small percentage?) the notes get too high for the frets with LEDs. Once you get past those notes the LEDs continue to work.- I wish they had more training videos. This isn't really a con as much as a function of how new the app is. It does say that more will be added soon.Summary- Fret Zealot provides a neat and fun new way to learn to play the guitar. It combines colorful LEDs with a sophisticated phone app which results in much faster and more entertaining guitar lessons. While I find that it's a little expensive and could be more streamlined, overall I think it's a great product and I'd recommend it to anyone either learning to play the guitar or wants a cool guitar gadget.
