Have you ever tried learning guitar, only to put it down after it got too challenging? That F chord can be a pain, but there's a tech-forward solution that might make practicing the guitar a little easier. The Fret Zealot is a guitar teaching device that adds LED finger guides to your guitar and provides extra instruction on your phone.

Fret Zealot is just $199.99 if you purchase during our Back to Education event, which runs from Aug. 10 to 24. However, on Aug. 17 and 18, you can get it for just $129.99. So ifyou want something that could make learning guitar easier, you know when to find it.

LED guitar fret guides

The Fret Zealot sticks right onto your guitar frets and gives you a clever, visually stunning way to see where your fingers should land. As you practice and play, you may develop your muscle memory for finger placements, which could make it easier when you want to play without Fret Zealot's guide.

Fret Zealot may not work for all guitars, so measure your instrument before purchasing. If your guitar's scale length measures 24.75 or 25.5 inches, then Fret Zealot should fit just fine. When you order your Fret Zealot LED strip, you'll also get a control module, a metal capo to mount the control module, a six-inch audio cable, a 34-inch USB to micro-USB charging cable, a collapsible phone stand, three Fret Zealot picks, and a sticker. Hook them up to your guitar and allow the light to guide your way down the fingerboard.
