The Zivix jamstik+ controller uses lighting-fast infrared light sensing technology to track finger placement and provide real-time feedback. As a guitar-learning tool, this ability catches fingering mistakes before they become bad habits. jamstik+ is portable, lightweight and wirelessly connects via Bluetooth to any iOS device or Android Marshmallow OS.
The new picking system with a Fishman magnetic pickup makes all the guitarist’s repertoire of tricks, such as tapping and pull-offs, possible with this small five-fret instrument. jamstik+ has real strings, frets and no need to ever tune. The jamTutor app series takes you through lessons interactively, step-by-step, making it easy if it’s your first time with a guitar or just want to get back into playing. Using the Four Chords app allows you to play more than 1,000 popular songs.
