What can I say? I have always loved to entertain. When I was a kid, I loved music just as much as I love it now. I was a child of the late 70s and 80s and, consequently, I was a young disco stud. LOL! I could sing (and dance) every single song by the Bee Gees and Donna Summer. I have always had a love affair with music and I have always had this fantasy that I would someday learn to play it.

Growing up, I attended Thruston Elementary School in Daviess County, Kentucky, and, in the 4th grade, we all got our very first musical instrument. We all got flutophones!

Remember those?

In addition to getting a flutophone, we each got a book of songs we could learn to play with it. Granted, the songs were introductory at best, but they were a good beginner's start, I suppose. I remember playing some wretched song called "On Tip Toe" over and over and over and over again. #Earworm

While I had fun learning to play the flutophone, I just never got to be any good at it. After earning "last chair" in my 5th grade music class (that was mortifying), I decided that playing music just wasn't for me. I was clearly never going to be able to play Donna Summer's "MacArthur Park" on any kind of musical instrument, so I would just need to stick to singing and dancing it at the Thruston Fall Festival Disco. I slayed it, by the way. Nobody was leaving my cake out in the rain.

That said, 40 years later, I am still singing and dancing. For instance, I recently performed and served as the Master of Ceremonies at Theatre Workshop of Owensboro's Cabaret Nights. Here, I'll share a pic from the show where I served up a raucous rendition of "Sweet Transvestite" from Rocky Horror Picture Show.

While I am still singing and dancing like a boss, I am also still trying to learn how to PLAY music. But, I have some good news. I'm getting there thanks to something revolutionary. It's called Fret Zealot, an ingenious way to learn how to play guitar with light.

Now, you may be asking, "What? How?"

Fret Zealot offers an LED option (HALLELUJAH) that will teach you how to play guitar with an LED light system that shows you exactly where to put your fingers on the guitar in order to be able to play it. It's AMAZING!  And as a kid who struggled to know where in the heck to put his fingers on the flutophone, this is a four-decades-old dream come true.

Check this out! It will show you exactly what's included in your Fret Zealot packaging.

And, thankfully, because the kid who struggled to play the flutophone isn't mechanically inclined either, Fret Zealot includes EASY step-by-step instructions on how to install the LED technology. See!

And, because Fret Zealot covers all the bases, they even have a quick installation guide video!

Fret Zealot says anyone can learn to play the guitar with their system. And, they mean it. Anyone even means that kid that bombed out of the opportunity to play in the middle school band because he couldn't even play the freaking flutophone.

Fret Zealot's working for me and it can work for you too. To get more information and check out Fret Zealot's 3000+ lessons, 100+ courses and library of 80K+ songs, CLICK HERE!
