Abstract

A chord playing attachment for stringed instruments, such as guitars and the like, wherein combinations of string depressors are pressed down on the strings to produce a chord. The string depressors are connected with a spring action to a component which is attached to the instrument. This component serves the dual function of an attachment base for the string depressors as well as acting as a capo dastro.
