      Its more a training aid and excercise aid really. You can learn chord shapes and basic scales on it. I would suspect it's going to be mostly used by professional guitarists when they don't have a guitar handy, like on holiday, to keep Thier muscle memory in tone and finger suppleness. As an aid for a beginner, I think it would be more likely to confuse and frustrate that actually encourage someone to learn.

    From a music teacher's perspective, what I see here is outstanding. I see a student who had put an instrument down out of frustration now finding an instrument that she enjoys and is inspired to practice. This, like a guitar, is an instrument on its own. You can create music with it. You can learn chords and music theory. Now it's a nice benefit that learning this will absolutely also carry over in significant ways to playing a guitar. But even if it didn't, this would be nothing less than a person finding fun making music. _That's the whole point of music._

Beginner guitarists usually don’t know, if they do know, how to modify guitars. In that case, it won’t matter as long as you have solid tuners and a bridge and the necessary tools to help you with fret filing, intonation, etc. However, for a stock guitar in any random store, $600 is decent

    This reminded me when i first picked up a guitar. It’s ok, ignore all the comments. Everyone goes through this process. It takes a few weeks to be able to press the F chord, a few months to remember all the chords by heart. I learned how to hold a pick properly on my 8th year playing the guitar (i thought you just strum it down but you actually do that on an angle, more like scraping the strings with the side of the pick). But after knowing basic chords you can start learning fingerstyle!!! (In my opinion) the most creative use of instrument ever. Have funnn
    Also, you sort of highlighted the actual use case for this gadget. It’s meant for travel. Traveling with a proper guitar is a pain in the ass, and there are so many instances when I’m away from home but my fingers are itching because i can’t play the guitar. This product makes a good practice guitar that adds no stress to traveling.

    Guitar is a complex instrument to learn where you may never feel like you are finished learning, which is sort of what is also great. The great part is that you only need to know a little in order to enjoy playing some songs and feel accomplished. The hardest part is probably the first two weeks as your fingers get used to pushing on the strings.

    edit: i would also add as a con the fact that it doesn't have as many frets as an acoustic or classical guitar, even though that's good for portability, if you want to play a song or a riff that requires you to barre let's say the 12th fret, you wouldn't be able to do that.

      @@michaelrobinett6128 Definetly! Don't get me wrong, I really think it's a great start for someone that has never had anything to do with guitar, but to be able to do barre chords you need strength in your hand, and to form strength, you need to learn and master those "begginer chords" as we call them. The thing with these guitars is that you don't have to tune them, and so your ears won't get used to how your guitar should sound all tuned up, and you won't be able to know how sensible the tuning pegs are and how much you have to rotate them to "fine tune" it. These are just my thoughts, so please don't come after me if you think otherwise haha. But I wish you the very best of luck on your guitar learning path if you choose to start learning guitar!

    It's been my experience that the most progress I've made on any instrument is playing with people. Especially people who are already better than me. There's so much you can overlook when you "don't know what you don't know". Having the clear instruction from a player that can see what you're doing and give you personalized advice is invaluable. I think it's great that you're starting guitar, and the beginning stage is the hardest, because there's so many unexpected hurdles. I recommend daily practice, even if for just a short time some days. After about 3 months, things just start to click and muscle memory makes things suddenly easier. Best of luck on your journey!

    As someone who has been playing guitar for 30 plus years, and professionally 20 years, I think you should know that the secret to getting good at bar chords is not trying to press down on all six strings for every chord. Most players don't use all six whenever we play chords. Try just doing the root and the 5th of each chord - and then add other notes later when you get more comfortable. You will get to where you want to go much faster, and it sounds like you are trying too hard in some areas, which will lead to boredom and discouragement.

    Shelby I liked your review... As a beginner with 2 kids by the time I am able to play and focus it is late at night I am looking for something to learn late at night and this seems easier that trying to learn on a full size guitar... Have you stuck with it and do you still use it?

  • @jerrylim6722
    @jerrylim6722 5 лет назад +28

    "guitar is still really hard to learn" I'm gonna be brutally honest and say you did not only skip the esstentials right off the bat from what I was able to get from the start(clicked cuz I was bored, not because I liked the idea of this drumstick thing), you disregaurded the fact that guitars are not meant to be a meme instrument. yes I'm still a noob because it's been a single year(with probably 3 major 1 month gaps spread across it) but the last time I checked, you don't start with scales. scales are nothing when you can't tell what you are doing.
    my suggestion for anyone tryina start guitar(or B A S S... or any of the more over looked stringed instruments) is to commit to it. personally sitting around with almost a month of no work on improving my skills fucks my left hand's ability to stretch so much(compared to my brother and my dad, I have small hands... my mum's are the same size and from what she claims, my dad also has slightly smaller than average hands too.) that it takes me approximately 20 hours worth of total work to get it back to being smooth enough.
    if you're trying to play Neon or something about a month in, think again. it's not that you're incapable of such feats, it's highly improbably. like baseball(or anything that requires physical endurance and proper skill), you WILL fuck up your body without proper training. that butterknife or whatever, is good on paper but it's not built around the proper principal of playing an instrument. also, it took me 3 months just to manage playing Snow(RHCP) to the point where I was at least fretting the right notes(and took me until now, a whole year-ish of constantly trying to play it close enough to what I could hear and get from the tabs I used.)
    this is getting too long so I'll just leave these here instead:
    1. there are many examples you can find where people hold picks to the point where it would mentally destroy your reality
    2. barre or bar chords are bitches and I hated them until my index finger pulled a Saitama on me.
    3. use the chromatic scale(basically all the frets within a 4 fret zone) to stretch your joints. play all the notes till you reach the highest, then back down to the lowest, then you move the whole zone up 1 fret and do it all over again. you can stop at the 12th(the double dot fret, the fret that's between 2 areas with no fret markers every other fret, whatever you call it.) fret after your pinky reaches it or keep going.
    4. if you've learnt to play piano and read sheet music a bit(just need to know the treble clef notes for now), all you need to remember is that each fret is a half step/ half note up from it's preceeding fret.

      I learned the pentatonic scale before chords.. and I was out jamming at 10 months playing some pentatonic at blues jams.. then I realized I need to learn chords to be able to play with people properly.. so I started to learn chords and a couple basic songs like Hey Joe and Cocaine.. I actually got bar chords down before I can transition between open chords. Now I'm about 1 year 8 months in playing guitar and I play in bars and go to jams weekly. Here I am playing Comfortably Numb on New Year's ruclips.net/video/M6ZRMb-2bX0/видео.html
      In short. There is no set way to learn.. learn whatever will keep you motivated and having fun.. that is the key.. have fun! In the beginning I didn't sit around playing open chords because I wanted to play like David Gilmour plays his leads.. so just have fun and learn in any order you like

    Screw the negative commenters. I think this guitar is a great idea for anyone that struggles with beginner momentum. Learning the chords and putting them together makes a person want to keep playing - especially when the natural talent is less than average. And yes, I play guitar.

    A 'smart guitar' like this won't improve your playing any more than RUclips tutorials do. I'm pretty sure that you can actually learn MORE from RUclips tutorials, if you just know WHAT to learn. Therefore try and find an experienced guitar player and ask them WHAT you need to learn, because you need to get the feeling of playing guitar.

      Completely agree, started learning again at january this year because of school at first,(stopped learning when the last school year ended, i did not like guitar last year)
      but later on having found the motivation and goal to be able to play my favorite music really got me into guitar and a couple other instruments.
      1st month was spent recalling chords and getting my fingers used to them
      2nd till 4th month i played solely to get good grades (barely any progress made, school is painful but fun 😭)
      5th month was when i discovered my favorite music and kinda got addicted
      And finally 6th month rn i got an electric guitar 2 days ago and im on a roll learning things like i just found out what a whammy bar does a couple minutes ago.
      Tomorrow im perfecting Summer of 69 💪

    I know this was a while ago, so I don’t know if you’re still at it, but if I can encourage you to stick with it, you have good guitar hands. Most importantly, your left hand that forms the chords. Straight fingers, well shaped for those barre chords with some practice. It’s a great starting point that not everyone is blessed with. Just buddy up with a guitarist to form those chords well and you’ll be better than you think by the end of the year.

    well, as a guitarist and tutor i appreciate your effort in trying to learn an instrument :) i still think getting a real guitar (and tutor) remains the best way but this sort of apps/devices definitely offers good points to reflect on to improve our job as educators. PS: how was the latency on that smart guitar? just curios if this could be used as a midi controller for serious music production with standard DAWs like Logic or Pro Tools.
