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.
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?

@doganakbulut we built this specifically to keep people playing past month two. Yes, the lessons and exercises adapt your level and the AI remembers everything you miss and dynamically adjusts your routines so you are always improving exactly what you need to.
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?
SoundGate Guitar
@ben_kahan thanks. And yes, it works flawlessly with an acoustic through your standard laptop mic! No plugging in required unless you're trying to shred on an electric.

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.

@aren_barseghyan @demianturner Thanks so much, Demian! Since you already have a USB interface, you’re all set for the best detection experience. And thanks for pointing us toward Apple’s Music Understanding framework. We’ll definitely explore it! 🎸🚀
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.

@stephanie_alice This is exactly what we hoped to hear, Stephanie! Practicing scales without instant feedback can be so frustrating. We specifically trained the AI to look at the exact nuances of what you are playing so it can give you that hyper-specific advice, rather than just a generic try again So glad it's helping you dial in those scales 🎸
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.
SoundGate Guitar
@afb Thanks, Archie! That’s exactly the problem we wanted to solve - turning static diagrams into something visual, interactive, and connected to your playing. Excited for you to try it! 🎸
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.
SoundGate Guitar
@kenshipley Thanks, Ken, you have great point! For now, that question is only used for analytics and doesn’t affect the experience. Later, we plan to use it to personalize lessons and styles for each player. Multi-select definitely makes sense, and we’ll add it to our roadmap! 🎸

Find it pretty useful. At some point in my life, I wanna learn to play any instrument. And if AI can teach me, this could be my option to try it. Do you also have any background in the music industry that you decided to create this?

@busmark_w_nika thanks so much! It's never too late to start, and we'd love to help you when you're ready. To answer your question, yes I've actually been playing guitar since childhood and most of our team are guitar players as well. Because we play, we knew exactly what was missing from other apps, that real-time feedback you only get from a real teacher. Let us know when you decide to pick up your first guitar! 🎸"

@aren_barseghyan I like this background story! :)
