Most guitarists can sympathise with a situation when you needed just one or two extra fingers further\u00a0up or lower down the fretboard to complete a unique chord or play a quick lick. New ‘Fretlocks’ could be the answer, providing you with the ability to capo single strings on individual frets.<\/p>\n

Fretlocks use small blades to fret and hold on to the string allowing players to play chord shapes and licks that would have been impossible before. Co-founder Jonny West, who originally came up with the idea, said:<\/p>\n

I came up with the idea when I was trying to figure out a way to play a particularly difficult line and needed extra fingers to hold some strings down. After a number of different designs, I came up with the final Fretlocks design that actually works, whilst keeping great sound quality.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Fretlocks are also setting up a “Freternity” where they’re encouraging users to share what they’ve crerated using Fretlocks as well as tips, tricks and techniques. They say: “Our mission is to create sounds that no-one else has ever created and open up a new world of playing impossible music.<\/p>\n

Fretlocks will come in three different sizes to fit all string gauges and are planned for release early next month with their launch event in London<\/a> on the 9th October. They will be available for \u00a315\/$23 for six and \u00a325\/$38 (dollars estimate) for a limited edition tin of 12. Visit the Fretlocks website<\/a> to stay updated on the release and get yours.<\/p>\n
