TL;DR: As of July 11, you can get the Jamstik® Guitar Trainer for just $169.99 instead of $229 — that's a savings of 25%.


The world's greatest guitar player didn't become a string expert overnight. Apparently, Jimi Hendrix dedicated 8 to 12 hours a day trying to perfect playing the instrument, listening to songs on the radio and attempting to pluck along. He also didn't have a grand time when he was practicing, but he did it anyway. "Sometimes, you are going to be so frustrated you want to give up the guitar – you'll hate the guitar. But all of this is just a part of learning, because if you stick with it, you're going to be rewarded," he famously told Guitar Player in 1968. 

Learning how to play the guitar involves a major time commitment. But if you don't have all the time in the world, you can still maximize the effectiveness of the time you do set aside to practice. The Jamstik Guitar Trainer is a portable guitar instruction device designed to empower you to unleash your inner rock star, and for a limited time, you can get it for only $169.99.

This deal nets you the Jamstik® 2020 edition, which features an updated tractile D-pad, a matte finish, and spring-loaded strings to deliver a more realistic feel. Unlike an actual guitar that can be a hassle to tote around, this tool clocks in at only a little over 18 inches, allowing you to play almost anywhere you wish. It also comes with apps and software that makes learning guitar easier. The companion app is packed with chords and detailed instructions, while the faux guitar is powered by patented FretTouch Finger Sensing Technology and Infrasense Optical String Pickups, so you can see your fingers on the screen in real-time and find out whether or not you're fretting the correct notes.

To help you master the craft faster, there are interactive drills available that make it faster to memorize chords. You'll also get to practice more on skills that need a little more work, so you can improve quickly.
