Guitar gear makers keep creating and innovating stuff that we’d probably never even think of, let alone ever think could be created. The good thing is that they create things to help us improve our playing. The unfortunate flip side is that they also create a necessity for buying them.
So what’s new in the market today? PocketStrings – Meet your guitar’s best friend!
PocketStrings is the ultimate “play everywhere” guitar practice tool. As its name suggests, it is extremely portable, fits in your jeans pocket and does have a very useful function.
PocketStrings allows you to practice and improve your guitar skills in guitar-unfriendly spots such as: cars, airplanes, the office, school, dinner table, and virtually any other place your pocket will fit, but your guitar won’t.
Built for guitarists of all skill sets, from rookies to rock stars, PocketStrings has a 4 fret model built for practicing chords and a 6 fret model made for both chords and scales.
PocketStrings is:
1. Portable: Take it anywhere and everywhere
2. Weightless: Sleek, thin design that makes it easy to put in your pocket
3. Durable: Engineered to be rocked on
4. Real Frets: It does look and feels like a real guitar
5. Real Strings: Build your finger strength and calluses while practicing.

In short, a piece of useless junk. I nearly cut my self on the fret ends, no point in trying to tune it, you can’t and even if you could SO WHAT ?
They seem to leave out the part about NOT BEING ABLE TO STRUM THE THING !! In the, “Happy videos” you see someone “playing” it, while others look on, entertained. By what, there’s NO SOUND ! Just a piece of plastic with 6 raised lines, that you can pretend to strum>
And most importantly, IF THERE IS NO SOUND, OR WAY TO PLAY THE STRINGS, YOU CANNOT PRACTICE WITH IT !!!!!!! WHAT POSSIBLE GOOD IS FRETTING A STRING, WHEN YOU CAN’T HERE IF YOU’RE DOING IT RIGHT.? YOU COULD BE PLAYING THE CHORD WRONG AND NEVER KNOW IT. SO I ASK YOU,….IS THAT PRACTICING, NOOOOOOOOO !!!!!!!!
NOT a practice ,….anything ! And even if you could tune it, the 3rd fret, would in essence be the 12th fret, because it is half way (presumably) between the nut and saddle.
I think I’d have to agree with you on this (sorry Luis). If you’re going to practice guitar, do it on a guitar! Thanks for the review.
