I have a chord buddy. After a few months it wears out and doesn't make chords well. Does this also happen with the EZ Chord?

I'm not sure because my students who own these only use them for a couple month (I would guess yes, though). you should be playing chords with your fingers after a month or two. The idea is to use this to work on your right hand strumming and picking. I encourage you to then remove the chord buddy or ez chord and practice the left hand! You can do it! You most certainly can do it and quicker than you think :) good luck !!

I really haven't used my EZ chord yet, so I don't know if it wears out like you say. Sorry.

Not for me. The body developed a crack within a week of playing. I'm not using it anymore because the strings cannot be tuned with the fine tuners, they don't move, it's impossible.

This model is my second guitar connect. The first model gave me similar results to what your experiencing. I contacted the company and their tech trouble shot with me in vain, and then sent me a new cable, promptly.

I pop'd the high e string a few weeks after getting mine, it broke as I was tuning up and I went a little too far. I haven't had any other strings break.

I've had mine for a few months and its stayed in tune just fine. Obviously it will get out of tune at first but that is because of the strings being new and needing to be broken in.

Same here. After about a year and a half, I seem to be losing buttons by the month. Either they stop working, or require massive pressure, and then they repeat. Dissapointed, but will have to replace since I've become dependant on the functionality. Maybe the harmony one, with it's hard buttons, will be more resilient?

No, not at all. Make sure you are connecting to correct charging source and chords don't have issues.

Mine lasted about 6 months, then the pins broke off one of the plugs. I'm going to cut the plugs off and try fixing them myself. It sounded good untill it broke.

Mine was pretty well set up. A week ago however, I noticed the High E, 3rd Fret was buzzing and not staying in tune. Took it to local guy and he adjusted the truss rod. All good now.

I am not sure about your question, I do know that I could never get it to work on my laptop, I change all types of input and output configurations but still had no luck. I would not buy this particular chord with out doing much more research than I did.

Mine did the same thing and finally one broke. I wound up tossing it after a couple of months. :(

uhhhh buddy, sorry to say that it was a gift for my baby brother. I did use it briefly while I had, but I used it with my guitar, that´s about it. I will suggest that you contact the guys from BOSS, perhaps they´ve tried it that way.

Mine failed after a couple of months. I can't recommend this product because it simply did not last. Always used it at moderate volumes since I lived in an apartment at the time. Its amp broke a month after the warranty expired.Had it serviced and it broke again. I decided to buy a 12 " polk that still sounds great today and has no overheating issues.

I have the same problem of it slipping, and sitting on the strings wrong. The green tab sticks to the red's rubber piece. The red sometimes thuds out a string if I don't press really hard. I'm ok for the moment as I'm just having fun learning to strum and gain finger coordination. I bought the full system directly from the vendor at a local box store promotion. I bought the complete kit, guitar and all. I am still working with it. I have high hopes for this product as it has been fun so far. I plan to call the vendor at some point to dicuss fitting it to their official chord buddy brand guitar. I have the same problem of it slipping, and sitting on the strings wrong.

I haven't had that problem either. If the string frequently gets caught up in plants or rubs concrete it won't last long. But you probably already know that.

Its because the jack is going out. My amp started doing the same thing. I thought the male to male cord was going bad until i bought a new one from amazon and that is how i found out the jacks were going bad on the amp. I have to move the cord around just right to make a strong connection for the sound to stay constant. Plenty other people are having the problem if you read the 1 star reviews. This product is just a bunch of hype because it works so well at first. In the end its a poorly made product that I wish I would have never bought.

Never had any issues that would need repair. I've been pretty rough on it. You might be interested in a higher end Melodica.
