I liked the idea behind this, and it has helped me start to memorize the chord shapes. However, it’s quite frustrating since you have to strum the strings just right to get them to be picked up. The number of times I managed to get my fingers on the frets in the right places, to then fail because one of the strings wouldn’t pick up when I played…. then I would loose the fret placement while messing around trying to get the string to pluck. I calibrated, messed around with sensitivity all sorts of things and it really was hit and miss whether it would play on a couple of the strings.
I haven’t used it for a couple of days, and today when I tried to use it none of the strings sound when plucked. If I tap the strings on the fret board it sounds, but if I pick/pluck/strum the string absolutely nothing. It would appear that the sensors have just given up. I tried calibrating, that doesn’t work since it can’t detect a string has been played.
So, this things a great idea… and it was helping me. But, it was a little frustrating to use…. And now it’s stopped working and of no use at all.
Additional: I discovered from Jamstik Q&A that a “hard reset” might help. You have to hold the power button down for a certain time, at the right time. It took me a few attempts, but the strumming now works again. Still same issue as before in that sometimes a string will just be completely ignored by the device and at other times it will be picked up.
