Guitar Chord Machine (Chordoma)

thingiverse

Here's a machine designed for easy use by someone with little training to strum up to eight chords on a guitar. This device could be perfect for someone with a handicap, or simply anyone who'd like to strum along to their favorite tunes without having to learn all that complicated finger pattern stuff. ++Assembly Instructions are found on a PDF in the files++ The machine plays major chords for D,C,A,G and E, minor chords for e,a,d. That spells DeadCAGE for some reason... This combination of chords will allow you to strum hundreds of thousands of songs. I have built three prototypes of this machine, and they work to some degree. I'm uploading it as a work in progress. Having spent months of effort to get this far, I hope that someone picks it up with renewed enthusiasm and improves on my design. It is fairly complex, but I include full assembly instructions, where I got the non-printed parts, lesson learned and suggested improvements. Good luck. If anyone gets really enthusiastic, I'd be happy to share video of the thing working, on a guitar. Update: Here's a quick youtube video of it in action. Sorry to say the guitar was not in great tune, but you get the idea: https://youtu.be/AU-Oaop_8AA Best regards, Andy
