You Must determine if the RunBarr Accelerator model fits YOUR guitar!

Improve Your Speed and Accuracy

Guitarists:

Finally. You can adjust the action for your PICKING HAND. This delivers to you the same consistent, even picking characteristics as the finest players — right away.

The Runbarr, patented in 2013, provides the on-the-fly picking option of automatically equalizing the force required to strike your string or strings, in both upstrokes and downstrokes. By so doing, your playing becomes faster and more fluid.

The Runbarr represents an entirely new speed-boosting species of guitar instruction and performance. Improve your speed and accuracy on guitar. Train successful high speed pick strokes into muscle memory.

Quick Start

As soon as your RunBarr is installed, fret your high E string at 12th fret. Using upstrokes and downstrokes – pick as fast as you can,. Most players should encounter a higher percentage of successful string strikes.

No Drilling. No Holes. You just attach the RunBarr to the surface of your guitar, under the strings, and off you go.

Suddenly shearing off a line of 32nd notes cleanly can teach you a lot, right there. For instance, your fretting hand naturally wants to synchronize with the picking hand. Pay attention to this! Studies show your brain wants to lock into a ‘flow”, try to feel the flow. Liberating the picking hand is an efficient way to develop fretting hand speed.

What it is

The RunBarr can help smooth out strumming sounds, acting as a natural limiter without electronics artifacts. Waveform tests show the first string you strike in the strum has a tendency to come out too loud. There can be an undesirable spike -– (a kind of ’wank”) showing up in the wave-form. This negative artifact is reduced when a RunBarr is used.

Q: If I install a RunBarr, can I continue to play off of the RunBarr?
A: Of course. Whatever you choose. The RunBarr is a pick-depth regulating OPTION you can choose on-the-fly. You can even play half-a-lick on it, half-a-lick off it. That’s part of the concept/design of the RunBarr. Playing on the RunBarr can train you to play better, faster, cleaner on guitars WITHOUT a RunBarr. More…
