On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair
I want to play and sing — but I'm scared it's too hard.
You’ve always wanted to play, but "too hard" has scared you off before — sore fingers, sheet music you can’t read, the fear of quitting half-way again. You don’t want years of lessons. You want the barrier gone, and one real song you can play and sing today.
Skip the years. 21 chord keys and a pick mean no sore fingers and no lessons — press, strum, and you’re playing and singing a real song the day it arrives. Drop in a track you love and it becomes something you can actually play.
You don’t learn to play. You just play and sing, and you get better.
- Real-time scoring on timing and accuracy
- Beginner mode slows the song until it clicks
- Press, strum, play — no chord shapes to memorize
Be the one who starts the music.
It’s not about practicing alone — it’s about the room, the moment, being the one who gets everyone going. Parties, camping, the dorm, friends over: you want to pick it up and have everyone singing along.
Open a room and your friends join from their phones on one shared score — even the ones who’ve never touched a guitar. Light, packs down small, and ready wherever the night is. You bring it, the music starts.
Nobody sits out. Everyone plays.
Play music with you
Wherever you go,
it goes.
Light, modular, and ready the moment inspiration hits — a poolside in Saint-Tropez, a lake at dawn, a friend’s rooftop. The travel guitar that actually travels.
- Light, detachable, modular body
- 9-hour battery — plays all day off the grid
Make my music, and put it out there.
You want to capture what’s in your head and have it seen — covers, originals, a clip for IG or TikTok. Playing becomes social currency and proof that you’re someone who creates.
The moment you play something good, capture it. A built-in mic records your voice and your playing together, the in-app console lets you mix and tune it, and AI turns any song into a playable arrangement. From idea to a post — without leaving the couch.
Instrument, mic, and studio — in one.

Rooms

One of a kind, with my own style.
You want it to be yours — no one else’s, unmistakably you. Gear is an extension of who you are; you want the one people recognize as yours the second you post it.
Print your own artwork across the body — your design, your name, a moment that’s yours. Swap parts and reshape it to fit you. No two RIFFMATEs have to look alike, and yours looks like no one else’s.
Your art on it. Your build. Yours.
Give something they’ll actually remember.
A birthday, a holiday, an anniversary, or a reward for yourself. You want a gift with heart — not ordinary, the kind that gets a "wow" — without overspending or watching it gather dust.
Make it theirs before it even arrives — print their name or your message on the body. It’s stringless, so they’re playing a song the day they open it, not giving up by week two. A gift that feels personal, at a price that doesn’t sting: $399, tax and shipping included.
Personal, playable, and unforgettable.
