Can I play with an electric guitar?

Written by Debra

Absolutely! You can learn to play any 6-string guitar with Simply Guitar.

This includes acoustic, electric, and classical guitars.

Quick tips if you're using an electric guitar. Make sure you...

  • Play with your amp directed towards your device.

  • Play without any distortion.

  • Use an amplifier and turn up the volume.

  • Set the amplifier to a clean tone (no effects).

  • Increase the bass knob to maximum.

  • Position the amplifier close to your device’s microphone.

  • Adjust the amplifier’s position to ensure all strings are clearly heard by the app.

  • And... That's it! Enjoy!

If you switch between Acoustic, Classical, and Electric guitars, it's totally fine 😊. The app will recognize your notes regardless, and you don't need to change any settings.
