What if you could learn to play any song on the guitar within minutes?

The Problem

Let’s face it: learning to play any instrument is difficult. Most of us have probably started and quit learning an instrument at some point in our lives. With guitar in particular, it can be frustrating learning chords and finger positioning. We learned to play the guitar by staring at tabs, placing our fingers, staring back at tabs, counting frets, staring at tabs, repeat ad infinitum. Unfortunately, most people don’t make it past this stage.

The Solution

What if we could make it easier than ever to learn the guitar? What if you could keep your eyes on the guitar, instead of staring at tabs and counting frets? What if you could learn your favorite songs in a fraction of the time? Soon, you can! We have come up with a new learning system for guitar that allows you to wrap a thin sleeve of lights on the guitar neck. The lights then show you where to put your fingers to play chords, scales, or full songs! No more staring at tabs and counting frets. Simply place your fingers on the lights and you can learn songs in minutes rather than hours. And the best part? It will work on any guitar! So dust off that old Fender gathering dust from the last time you tried to learn guitar, and learn the easy way!

UPDATE: See our early prototype in action!

How it Works

The system works by using LED lights integrated into a VERY thin sleeve that wraps under your strings and around the guitar neck. There are LEDs that light up below the string you should hold when playing a song. You can then speed up or slow down the lighting on your guitar to help you learn at the speed you want. Each song or chord can be added seamlessly through our website.
