ABSTRACT:
A device for eliminating the need for a guitar player to utilize his index finger for fretting guitar strings at different frets. A preferred embodiment comprises a metallic frame having three sections extending equiangularly from a central, common edge. A second element may comprise a barr which may be placed in contact with the strings on a guitar and held tightly thereagainst by means of a tension-exerting member which releasably grips the ends of the barr and is passed across one section of the frame. The frame may comprise a single metallic element constructed in one or more various shapes. Preferably, both the frame and the barr are at least partially covered with a low friction, relatively soft material, such as Teflon.
