Guitar Tuning Robot Helps You Sound Better, Not Play Better

Remember when playing musical instruments required, you know, skill and training and practice and talent and stuff? What with Guitar Hero, and now, a robotic guitar tuner, for better or worse anyone can at least sorta play the guitar. The String Master robotic guitar tuner removes all human error (and musical theory) by using a little motor to turn the tuning pegs on your guitar for you. It runs on a 9v battery, works on any six string electric or acoustic guitar with an output for a guitar cord, and costs $49.95. No, you still can’t play Stairway, but at least you can sound better trying.
