From Milan to Las Vegas, the journey of a start-up often reads like a well-composed ballad, filled with ups, downs, and a crescendo of innovation. Enter the Ezy Guitar, the latest offering from Visual Note, an Italian start-up that’s been tuning the strings of the tech and music worlds alike.
Set to debut at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) from January 9th to 12th in Las Vegas, Ezy Guitar isn’t just another gadget; it’s a virtual music teacher that promises to revolutionize how we learn to play the guitar.
So, what’s the buzz about? The MLD is a device that simplifies the guitar learning process. It’s wireless, extra-thin, and boasts an easy installation that doesn’t require you to meddle with the strings. The device, suitable for all types of guitars, displays chords directly on the fretboard using bright LEDs.
Vincenzo Maresca, the brain behind this innovation and CEO of Visual Note, shared his vision with us. “90% of guitar beginners drop the instrument within the first year,” he said. MLD aims to change this discouraging statistic by making learning more intuitive and fun.
The accompanying app offers a vast library of songs and real video lessons, making it easier for beginners to play their favorite tunes right from day one. It’s like having a patient, ever-present music teacher guiding your every chord.
The tech behind Ezy Guitar is as impressive as its educational value. Featuring the latest Bluetooth technology (BLE 5.1 hi-speed) and a miniaturized control unit that’s neatly tucked away on the back of the headstock, this device is a seamless blend of form and function. The RGB LEDs can create thousands of color combinations, adding a visual flair to your musical journey.
Maresca’s journey from a finance job to fulfilling his dream of making music more accessible is as inspiring as his invention. He reminisces, “When I was a young bass player, I thought how useful it would be to have the notes displayed directly on the instrument.”
After CES, Visual Note is set to showcase MLD at the Namm Show, the largest music trade show in the world, in Los Angeles. It’s clear that this start-up isn’t just about making devices; it’s about stringing together a community of music lovers and learners.
Ezy Guitar is more than just a tech product; it’s a testament to the power of passion, innovation, and the universal language of music. For those of us who’ve always wanted to play the guitar but found the learning curve too steep, Ezy Guitar might just be the key to unlocking our musical potential.
