ABSTRACT:
A device mounted on the neck of a stringed musical instrument such as a guitar, to facilitate the playing of chords on the musical instrument. The device includes a housing reciprocably mounted on the neck of the musical instrument above the strings thereof. Rotatably mounted in the housing are a plurality of drums having fixed stops provided in spaced predetermined locations about the circumference of each drum. When the housing is depressed towards the neck, the stops will stop the strings in predetermined locations so that strumming of the strings will produce an appropriate chordal note. A pinion is connected to one end of each of the drums which is placed in meshing engagement with a rack slidable through the housing by the fingers of the hand of the player to rotate the drums and reposition different combinations of stops relative to the strings of the instrument for changing the chordal note produced by the instrument.
