Want to play the guitar without actually having to play the guitar? That’s exactly what you can do with the PocketGuitar, a fascinating device that allows you to play by pushing cords on your smartphone. You’ll get the satisfying sounds and rhythms without actually lugging a full-sized guitar with you.
The PocketGuitar allows you to learn the basics of rhythm, cord changes and different styles of strumming without actually using a guitar. All you need is a phone, Bluetooth and the PocketGuitar.
Playing couldn’t be any easier. Simply use the associated app, connect it to Bluetooth and you’re good to go. You’ll get a screen of chords to choose from, and you can delete from and add to the list. Then push the appropriate chord you want to play and strum with the large pick-shaped PocketGuitar, and with each strum, the chord will play perfectly.
The device is AI-powered, which means you’ll get smooth, realistic sound with barely any latency. You can also attach it to your foot where it can be used as you keep the beat by tapping. PocketGuitar can be used with either IOS or Android phones.
Menga.net gave the PocketGuitar to an actual guitarist to try, and he came out impressed, calling it a better option than a travel guitar and a device that actually works as advertised.
If you don’t have the time to learn how to play an actual guitar and all of the chords you need to learn, this is the solution for you. Normally, the PocketGuitar would run $40, but for a limited time, the music can be yours for just $34.95, a savings of 12 percent. And for even more savings, if you spend $50 or more in store today, you’ll get a $10 credit for your next purchase.
