AI Music Tutor that gives real-time feedback on your playing
SoundGate Guitar is an AI practice companion that actually listens to you play. Get instant visual feedback on an interactive fretboard with zero-lag note detection. The built-in AI tutor analyzes your playing to provide personalized feedback, custom practice routines, and answers to any guitar question.
We're the team behind SoundGate Guitar - a practice companion that actually hears you play and responds in real time.
Most guitar apps follow the same formula: watch a video, try to play along, get a pass/fail score. That's not how you learn guitar. You learn by playing, making mistakes, and getting feedback in the moment - the way a real teacher would.
So we built SoundGate to be that practice companion:
It hears every note. Play any note or chord and the interactive fretboard lights up instantly - real-time detection, not a 2-second delay. You can actually see what you're playing as you play it.
Interactive fretboard, tabs, scales, exercises - all interactive. It's not just detection. There's a full exercise library with scoring based on your actual playing. Chords, strumming, fingerpicking, scales - from beginner to advanced.
Ask it anything. Stuck on a barre chord? Wondering what scale works over a progression? The built-in AI coach gives you specific, personalized answers - not generic YouTube links.
Real native app. SwiftUI on iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Plug in a USB audio interface on your Mac and it just works. No Electron, no web views.
It's 100% free. Not freemium-free. Actually free. Every feature unlocked. We're in early access - we want feedback from real guitarists, not credit card numbers.
Whether you picked up a guitar yesterday or you've been playing for 20 years, we built this for you.
