Features: Follow the lights to become a Guitar Man. You don’t need a teacher to show you how to play Yamaha’s EZ-AG acoustic guitar. Lighted frets on the self-teaching guitar show you where to put your fingers while creating chords for 25-built-in songs and riffs. During practice, you can have the guitar change chords while you strum its special strings, practice making chords while the instrument waits for you to place your fingers on the frets, or try chording and strumming at the same time. Once you master the built-in tunes, you can download more practice songs online. This model produces the sounds of different guitars as well as banjos and pianos.
