ABSTRACT:
A device is provided for playing a stringed instrument such as a guitar through use of one hand. Two foot pedals are provided with cables attached to a structure mounted on the stringed instrument. One pedal controls the pick movement across the strings of the instrument while the other pedal engages and disengages the pick as well as controls the intensity of strum. The device allows a person having use of only one hand to strum or pluck a stringed instrument with versatility and quality sound. The device is light in weight and may be set up in a short period of time because such device is simple but reliable and may be used with a variety of instruments having from one through twelve strings. The device is designed primarily for a disabled individual, but could also be used by a talented musician who wishes to play more than one instrument at a time.
