Yes, you CAN learn to play guitar. In fact, you’ll be playing your very first chords within minutes. Maybe you tried guitar lessons once upon a time, learned a few chords but didn’t stick with it for various reasons like: cost, time, or a short attention span. Or maybe you’ve never tried to learn to play for the same reasons. Those roadblocks are exactly why we created the jamstik+, the SmartGuitar that teaches you how to play. Fast. How? The jamstik+ interactive teaching apps walk you through your very first chords in minutes. Sensors in the jamstik+ detect the placement of your fingers and display them on the screen of your device, giving you instant feedback with zero guesswork.

How will you play songs on the jamstik+? The jamTutor app teaches you the chords. Take those chord skills over to the FourChords app and from the library of hundreds of songs, find one with the chords you just learned. FourChords gets you playing that song right away.

We’re honored to receive so many great reviews from the media and our jamstik+ tribe. Thank you! About the Startup Describe your product in 3 words. Smart. Musical. Portable. How did you come up with the idea for this product? The inspiration for the jamstik+ was ignited when we saw the popularity of guitar rhythm games peak in the late 2000’s. The desire to learn guitar was amplified for a whole new generation so we wanted to create a fun and intuitive way to help people become guitar players. At the same time, we saw more people than ever using s and s, and the ways in which those devices were changing how we live, work and play. The jamstik+ is our vision in marrying the music tech and mobile worlds with a product that can truly teach guitar. It is the vehicle to achieve our mission of making music more accessible for everyone. What makes your product special? Unlike other MIDI guitars, the jamstik+ has real strings and real frets, so the skills you learn or practice on it directly translate to a full-sized guitar. Combined with our software, the jamstik+ is the only MIDI guitar that shows you on screen what you’re playing, eliminating guesswork and giving you instant feedback. The technology behind the jamstik+ is something we hold multiple patents on and have perfected over the last 5 years. On top of that, it's one of the first devices to send MIDI music data over wireless Bluetooth Smart with extremely low latency. Lastly, it's truly one of the most portable guitar solutions out there, making it great for learning, practicing or songwriting on the go. What has been the best part of your startup experience? On the hardware side, combining the complex technologies of the jamstik+ and building a robust, reliable product was a great achievement for us, but it’s not the whole picture. Software plays an important role too, and it’s something we’re always working to improve. Our customers are a creative and innovative group, and being able to deliver on the experiences they want is always the most rewarding for us.
