Midichord – Guitar Chords from one Guitar String!

The Midichord concept is an exciting idea that is designed to help everyone play guitar brilliantly and simply. The idea is simple – can you play a chord while only depressing one string onto the fretboard? Here at Midichord, we think we have the solution.

Many people take up the guitar for fun, and some take the guitar to the heights of musical ability. The one thing which is common to all players is the delightful combination of melody and accompaniment that can be achieved just by playing guitar. Most players manage the basic chords and this gets them through a good repertoire, but what about the limitations of the guitar player themselves? Our idea is that you should be able to play any chord just by playing one note – your play one note, and the guitar does the rest!

Our product will appeal to many people – here are some ideas of our target consumers:

  • Advanced musicians – Midichord will enable new sounds and effects from the guitar
  • Enthusiasts – with simple steps, more complex music can be played by all
  • People with restricted movement in their hands – whether by accident or illness, if you can play one note, you can now play the guitar!

We are working hard to develop this concept into a guitar playing reality, and to this end we need some help. We are looking for support from technicians, musicians and anyone with an interest in making music more accessible to the masses. For the right opportunity to collaborate, we will have some funds available, although additional offers of funding would be welcome.
