This is me, Joakim, inventor of the Chordinero, mumbling about what the Chordinero is and how to use it 🙂
(If you still want one after watching this, check out the webshop)

Here’s a better explanation by Hanna Enlöf, which also includes a beautiful arrangement of In My Life by the Beatles:

If you want a second opinion, here’s what Samuraiguitarist thinks of it:

Also, here’s the first review Ol’ Sammy G did of the Chordinero in 2020, in the 4th instalment of his “Testing Gimmicky Guitar Gadgets”-series:

And here’s a brief introduction to the possibilities of the Chordinero capo, presented by Matt Sickels :

What is the Chordinero?

It’s probably the most flexible capo on earth. It’s like having a third hand with six really long fingers. It’s open chords with standard tuning that gives you more possibilities using your standard fingerings and scales. It’s a creative tool for creative people and it opens new doors for musical composers at all levels. US Patent No. 11069329.

Why would anyone need such a thing?

You don’t NEED it like you need food, warmth and somebody to lean on, but it’s a great help in creating new Music… With a Chordinero you will find that you can use all the knowledge you have of the fretboard because the guitar is in standard tuning, and at the same time you can capo each string individually to get any open tuning. It’s hard to explain in words, but once you sit down and try it for a while you will most likely be inspired and have a lot of fun, coming up with stuff you wouldn’t have found without it. And of course it doesn’t stop there, if you alter the tuning of the guitar and then add the Chordinero to capo individual strings, you will open yet another door to even more possibilities.
