The Fret Zealot 2 Lights Up to Guide Finger Placement

— July 12, 2023 — Tech
Zealot Interactive is back with the 'Fret Zealot 2,' the successor to the original Fret Zealot that improves upon the design in nearly every way. The Fret Zealot 2 is a guitar attachment for self-learning guitar. The attachment magnetically connects to the fretboard and spans the entire length of the board with an LED at each fret on each string, totaling 144 LEDs for the Fret Zealot 2.

The Fret Zealot 2 pairs with the Zealot Interactive mobile app to help players learn guitar. The app houses pre-built courses that use the LEDs to instruct the player on where to place their fingers to play differnet notes and chords. Additionally, there is a database of songs that can be learned via the application, with a number of tools available, such as speed, playback, and more.

Some improvements that the Fret Zealot 2 makes over the original are compatibility, as the magnetic strip is easier to move around than the adhesive on the original, size, as the 2nd iteration features more LEDs, and quality, as the LEDs have a higher refresh rate and smoother transitions on the 2.
