If you’ve ever watched a child or a smaller adult play Guitar Hero, you’ve probably noticed that the fret keys on the guitar peripheral are too far apart for them to kick their scores up to rock star ranks. Accessory maker ezGear is now leveling the musical playing field with the 10-fret ezJam Guitar for Guitar Hero II/III, the first guitar controller for both small and large hands.

Five standard-sized fret buttons for adults are located on the lower end of the neck as usual. Five narrower keys for smaller hands are situated on the upper end, where they are easier to reach for shorter arms as well as closer together for easier playing by those with smaller finger spans. Result: anyone can master the fretwork on Heart’s “Barracuda” or Van Halen’s “You Really Got Me” regardless of their age or physical stature.

The first model, the ezJam S-10, is a wired controller that also includes a strum bar, tremolo bar, tilt sensor and guitar strap. It is available in red, blue and pink for the Xbox 360 and the PlayStation 3 at an MSRP of $79.99.
