Hi, on the initial start page it asks what type of guitar you play. I have an electric and acoustic but i was only able to select one option. A multi option for some of us who play multiple instruments might be good. Great work so far.

Love the look of this! Learning scales from static fretboard diagrams has always been the part I struggle with. Having something interactive or that actually lights up as you play sounds like it would make it click so much faster. Excited to give this a go.

Love this idea! I've wanted to learn guitar for years but never knew where to start. Does the AI create a personalized learning path for complete beginners?

how cool! I remember how expensive music lessons were, so it's special to make that accessible for any audience

Real-time feedback is the one part of learning guitar you can't get without a teacher in the room. Everything else is already on YouTube. Curious whether it's catching timing and cleanliness or mostly pitch, since that distinction is basically the whole product.

Love this! I haven't picked up an instrument in years because I 1) forget how to play and 2) don't want to deal with scheduling lessons. This might actually make me play again.

Congrats to the team! Real-time feedback is the genuinely hard part here. Most practice tools grade you after the fact, once the muscle memory is already set. Excited to try this one. Does it work with an acoustic through a laptop mic, or do you need to plug in?

The real-time fretboard feedback is the part I would actually use - finally something that listens instead of making me watch a video and guess if I am doing it right. The thing I would want to know before making it a daily habit: does it save any record of what I have practiced or how I have improved over time, or is each session fresh? Knowing I can look back at what I was struggling with two weeks ago would make the practice habit much easier to stick to.

This feels like the kind of tool that keeps a beginner from quitting in month two. Instant feedback on the fretboard sounds so much better than recording yourself and guessing what went wrong. Do the practice routines adapt over time based on what the scoring shows you keep missing?

the zero lag note detection feels genuinely useful, especially when working through scales. the AI tutor suggestions were surprisingly specific to what i was messing up.

Oh this would have been so useful for me when I was younger! A question though, do you plan to expand to other instruments like the piano in the future?

Congrats Aren and Vahe! I work at an AI learning company, so the part I care about is the tutor, not the note detection. Real teachers are valuable because they remember you: last week’s sloppy chord changes shape this week’s lesson. Does the AI tutor carry memory across sessions, tracking my recurring weaknesses and adapting my routines over time, or does each practice session start fresh? Persistent progress tracking is what separates a tutor from a very good tuner, and if you’ve built it, that’s the headline for me.

Congratulations with the launch. Do you plan to add more instruments or you wanna go niche?

Real-time note detection on an interactive fretboard with no perceptible lag is a hard technical problem, nicely done. Curious about the audio pipeline given the USB interface support on macOS. How well does detection hold up with a distorted amp tone compared to a clean acoustic signal?

Hey @aren_barseghyan congrats on the launch!

Everything looks really slick - great video, website, content. As a guitar player can't wait to try your app. Even have the USB interface for my guitar!

Also have you heard about Apple's Music Understanding framework (no affiliation) - seems like a great way to bring in AI features for music apps.
