How Fret Zealot Is Totally Different from the Methods Chris Coleman Used Before

You've been hearing me talk about Fret Zealot for weeks now and how their system of learning how to play guitar is absolutely amazing. But for a moment, I want to share with you what it isn't.

When I was in elementary, middle, and high school, I played alto saxophone. I started in 4th grade, was named most outstanding band member in sixth grade at Radix Elementary in Williamstown (thank you very much 😊), and played through my junior year.

Back then, to play a musical instrument, you had to learn how to read sheet music and then practice the same song over and over and over — not very exciting. I mean, there's nothing wrong with that, but that's like learning a foreign language by memorizing a list of words. Sure, it'll work but it's not very engaging.

That's not what Fret Zealot is.

If you want to learn to play guitar or maybe one has been sitting in your closet for years and you need a refresher course, this is for you.

If you can watch 10- or 20-minute-long videos on your phone, you can learn to play.

And, yes, anyone can.

With Fret Zealot, their LED light-up panel attaches to any guitar. Turn it on, and your guitar literally comes to life right before your eyes.

Once you have downloaded their app, you are on your way.

Fret Zealot's app is brilliantly simple to navigate and their courses — 100s of them from "I've never picked up a guitar before" all the way through expert-level classes — will walk you through learning to play guitar. And the cool part is, by way of Bluetooth, your guitar will light up and that's how you learn to play.

Once you've gone through their 30-day beginner challenge, you can venture into their library of 80,000 songs, which stretches from Abba to Zac Brown Band, and you can learn to play those the same way. They also have several advanced lessons for those who already know the basics, and they offer options for bass and ukelele, too.
