Manufacturer's Description
--------------------------
$813,803 raised with 2,991 backers. 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. Don’t know how to read music or hold a pick?
No problem. No music experience is needed to be successful with
the jamstik+. It doesn’t even need tuning.
Not only chords... You’ll be playing your favorite songs faster
than you ever thought you could. Really? Yes, really. And playing
songs is what you really want to do, right? So it’s FUN. And fun
is motivating. 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. As you expand your chord knowledge,
the library of songs you can play grows with you, so you’re
always challenged and having fun.
Wireless & Portable The jamstik+ supports the latest
BluetoothSmart technology, so the wire-free connection to your
device is fast and stable and your WIFI stays wide open. Being
untethered gives you the freedom to practice anytime and
anywhere: on the airplane, the quad, even the Golden Gate Bridge.
Real Strings & Frets The jamstik+ is the only digital guitar with
real strings and frets. The skills you learn on the jamstik+
translate seamlessly to a traditional guitar, so you can play
both the guitar you love and your portable jamstik without
skipping a beat.
MIDI Device: Play any Sound Already a guitar player? The jamstik+
is a fast and versatile MIDI controller, compatible with hundreds
of apps, so you can create virtually any sound you can think of,
vastly expanding your musical territory. You can build and record
an entire song, from drums to keys to guitar with just the

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.
