Pittsburgh, PA (PRWEB) April 9, 2008 -- InventHelp®, America's largest inventor service company, announces that one of its clients, an inventor from Palmdale, Calif., has designed a device that uses LEDs to teach proper finger positioning. This invention is patented and a prototype is available.
The "Guitar Music Mask" could display chord positions on a guitar in any key. The device could enable novice guitar players to improve their technique quickly and easily. The unit could enable players to accompany any song in any key that utilizes harmonic scales. The invention would be easy to set up and use.
The Guitar Music Mask would consist of a strip of molded plastic measuring 24-inches long, ¼-inch wide and ¼-inch thick, a control box and a power cord. A plastic strip would house a series of two-color light emitting diodes (LEDs). A user would affix the strip to the top edge of a guitar's fretboard. The control box would attach to the lower body of the guitar and contain circuitry that would be programmed to outline the five pentatonic patterns. The circuitry activates the LEDs in groups, with one red light that would indicate the key; the rest of the activated lights would be green and show the remaining groups before and after the red LEDs. Once the device is in place, a user would index the system so that the red LED is at the key note position on the sixth string. The red LED could be moved to any fret and the remaining patterns follow. The unit would include a simplified six-page instruction manual and interactive DVD to expedite the learning process. The unit could be offered as an accessory for existing guitars or incorporated into the design of new models.
InventHelp® is attempting to submit the invention to companies for review. If substantial interest is expressed, the company will attempt to negotiate for a sale or royalties for the inventor.

Audio Books Benefit Care Home Residents
Audio books stimulate the imagination. When people watch a movie, their brain doesn?t have to work to envision the scene. An audio book, on the other hand, forces a listener to create their own visual picture of the characters, and the setting as it is described or inferred through narration. In a room of thirty people, you will find thirty different mental images conceived from the same spoken words. The creativity required provides necessary exercise for aging brains.
