Hand tracking on the actual guitar
The core experience is a live camera view of the learner's fretting hand, aligned to the guitar so guidance happens where practice happens.
Learn to play guitar
Your personal guitar instructor, with realtime visual and audio guidance that tracks your actual hand position and notes played.
The difference
Strummer is built around the moment other apps miss: what your fingers are actually doing on the guitar. The iPad camera watches your hand position, the app shows where your fingers should go, and audio feedback helps confirm what you played.
What it teaches
The core experience is a live camera view of the learner's fretting hand, aligned to the guitar so guidance happens where practice happens.
Visual overlays can show where each finger belongs for beginner chord shapes, making the invisible part of practice easier to copy.
The microphone listens alongside the camera, helping the app respond to notes played, strums, rhythm, and slow beginner chord changes.
First session
The app is designed to guide a beginner through a complete seated practice moment: setup, tuning check, chord shape, slow strum, two-chord change, and a small recap.
Place the iPad, confirm acoustic guitar, and align the fretboard guides.
Start with a calm chord placement prompt before any timing pressure appears.
Use the metronome to build rhythm at a pace that still feels human.
Finish with what improved and one gentle suggestion for the next practice.
The promise
Strummer's advantage is the combination of realtime camera guidance and audio feedback, tuned for beginners who need to see what to do with their hands.
Concept demo
A short UI motion mock shows the feedback loop: camera alignment, matching the onscreen fingers, note detection, and a real E minor strum.
Strummer is in early planning and prototype work. The MVP is designed for iPad, acoustic guitar, and absolute beginners.
