Imagine a guitar that you can pick up and play instantly, without musical training. Magic Instrument, a San Francisco startup, has reinvented the fret board of a traditional guitar so that anyone can play their favorite songs at first sight. You can choose from thousands of your favorite songs on our mobile app and learn new songs in a matter of minutes (lyrics and chord numbers available via subscription). Just select the song you want to play and you can see the song's lyrics and button numbers for each chord. By pressing the right buttons and strumming the strings, you can play the song.

The MI Guitar is more than an easy way to play your favorite songs instantly. It's also a tool to create your own original music - even if you have little or no musical background. Set the guitar to any key and scale you want to play in (for example, E Major, or B-flat Minor, or A Blues), and you get one-finger access to the most commonly played chords in that key and scale. If you are a songwriter, you can use the MI Guitar as a MIDI controller, and integrate it with your existing songwriting software, or your DAW (Digital Audio Workstation), such as Apple GarageBand, Apple Logic Pro, or Ableton Live.

The MI Guitar comes with six included guitar sounds, two bass guitar sounds, a standard guitar output jack, as well as built-in audio controls such as volume, bass/treble tonal balance, reverb and chorus effects. To get you hands on this guitar, pledge $299 or more on Indiegogo and you are ready to rock.
