All those hours of Guitar Hero never turned you into the next Jimi Hendrix or Les Paul  — but the FRETX? It just might.

Learn how to play guitar the smart (and fun) way with the help of this clip-on learning device, which will have you strumming basic chords within an hour of starting your very first lesson.

The FRETX attaches to the fretboard of any guitar, electric or acoustic, and uses colorful lights to show you where you put your fingers without interfering with your strings.

FRETX also offers a free mobile app that connects to its devices, so you can find out how well you're playing in real time just by looking at your smartphone. If you've already signed up for IRL lessons with an instructor, you can use that same app to share lessons and exercises with him or her.

Mastering the basics of playing guitar has never been more convenient. Start strumming your favorite songs today under the guidance of the FRETX Smart Guitar Learning Device, available now for only $69.99 – a savings of 36 percent.
