JamStar
|
JamStar is a guitar teaching app, designed by an Israeli programming house.The premise is simple – you tune your guitar and then play notes or chords. The app (which runs on a phone or your browser) senses your strum and lets you move on or asks you to repeat the notes. You do this, ad infinitum, until you get good. The app gives you feedbackas you play, offering pointers, and you can move from basic G-C-D strumming patterns to, say, more complex folks songs. The app came to be when Stok noticed his friends playing Guitar Hero and learning nothing from the experience. The app, in turn, acts as sort of a “real” guitar hero. By listening to how you play and responding with almost no latency, JamStar gives you a helpful look at how bad you sound. | $800K / Seed / May 29, 2013 | |
