I like many others have wanted to learn to play guitar only to pick it up, quickly get discouraged, and quit. However, newly formed California based company Incident, hopes to help those who wish to learn guitar by using the new gTar digital guitar and Iphone app.
The gTar works by having an Iphone app with a library of starter songs, various instrumental sounds not just guitar, and three difficulty levels to choose from. When a user selects a song LEDs light up along the neck of the electric guitarshowing where the user needs to place their fingers.
The gTar succeeds in slowly building the user up in difficulty rather than starting off having to accomplish fretwork, strumming, and correct notes all at once. By not vocalizing the players missed notes for the first two difficulty levels, they’re less likely to get disheartened. By the time they reach the hard difficulty they have the muscle memory to correctly play what is needed. A successfully funded Kickstarter project, the gTar has a retail asking price of $449 and has also been featured on a variety of tech shows. Check out the video below to learn more about Incident and the gTar.
