Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “Play guitar with the press of a button”.
Hey this is Jake with the verge and we’re here taking a look at magic instruments: rhythm guitar. The company is basically trying to reinvent the guitar by removing all of the strings along the fret board and replacing them with different buttons and by pressing one of these buttons. You program the guitar to play a specific chord, and then you just strum and play the idea is that it’s a lot easier to learn to just press different buttons than it is to figure out the specific fingerings of every individual chord you might want to play. And it’s definitely true: it is a lot easier to just pick this up and start strumming than it is an acoustic guitar.
But there’s still some learning to do. You have to figure out which button to press to make which sound and you have to learn how to move your fingers along the fretboard, which is a lot like an acoustic guitar to help you learn. Magic instruments is launching an app that’s basically like at our hero. It’Ll lead you through popular songs button by button telling you what to press to make which sound. The hope is that eventually you’ll get pretty comfortable with it and be able to go off and start playing.
Songs on your own magic instrument says that the hardware is about 95 % done, but the app that we saw still needs a lot of work. That’S why they’re not going to start shipping until sometime early next year. This is never going to teach you how to play acoustic guitar. But if you want something, that’s a little bit easier.
That’S still going to! Let you play around, then the rhythm guitar might be for you. I know you’re here for this at YouTube. You .
